I just bought Willow three days ago. Her breeder said she was a healthy weight for a Great Dane pup. As a first-time owner, I am worried she is too skinny. I can see all of her ribs. She gets one cup at 7:30 AM, one cup at 3:00 PM, and another at 10:00 PM. She is eating Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice Large Breed Adult Food. Is she too skinny? Is this food schedule okay? Is the food good for a Great Dane puppy? Should she get fed by a raised feeder? I did research, of course, but I have my worries.
How much exercise should she be getting? How much is too much? I know she isn't supposed to exercise an hour before or after eating, due to the risk of bloat. Should I let her play alone or should I play with her? Are walks okay and for how long? She is also getting attached to me way more than any other member of my household. She is always by me. She won't lay down for longer than two minutes with someone else. Should I be worried?
I would really appreciate all my questions answered. I'm sorry there are so many. I don't want to ask a vet because they aren't specifically taught about Great Danes and their needs.
