As usual, a 5 month old German shepherd is already starting to eat some dry food and also some live food despite the wet products and mother’s milk from its birth. But it must be done step by step, not abruptly as you can do harm to the puppy’s digestive and immune system. Also, the diarrhea when introducing new products may mean that it is early to give such food or just that this type of product does not fit it individually.
The weight should not increase the normal weight and if the owner can’t feel the ribs of a pup, it means it eats too much food. Vomiting and diarrhea also are the signs of problems with the digestive system or the wrong diet or product for a pet. The owner always has to check the size, weight , height, biting etc. of a female or male to make sure development is going all right. Limping, not eating or aggressive behavior should be paid attention to.
The diet should be kept strictly as immune, digestive and other systems of a 5 month old German shepherd is still weak and any system can be easily harmed. But at this stage of development a pup may eat its meals twice a day – one in the morning and the second – in the evening or afternoon.
When speaking about the 5 month old German shepherd behavior, it must not behave too aggressively or too lazy. If a pup sleeps most of the day and is not active, it may mean some problems with health. The 5 month old German shepherd likes to bite,mess up everywheretrying to discover something new and it is characteristic of this breed, so it looks natural. If you noticed that a puppy does not want to eat, or it does some limping, you should consult a vet about this problem to prevent further possible illnessesor serious problems.
