Rottweiler Feeding
A very important factor that influences your rottweiler's health and full potential is the food that you
give him. Puppies and very active dogs need even more than that. You need to provide your Rottweiler with a balanced meal of both meat and plant-based nutrients.
These are three basic types of dog food that you can provide your Rottweiler:
1) Dry food is the most popular, most reasonably priced, and the healthiest form of dog food, although it is not the most appetizing of the three types.
2) Semi-moist food is tasty and handy for traveling but contains high amount of sugar used as a preservative and not the very best choice for a nutritional diet.
3) Canned food is the tastiest but the most expensive food compared to dry and semi-moist food. Most rottweiler owners five their dogs a mixture of dry and canned food and supplement the diet with treats and dog biscuits.
Give your rottweiler food with protein and fat content based on his stage of life, making any necessary adjustment for any health and weight problems. It is essential to put your rottweiler on a well-balanced diet in order to keep him healthy and active. Obese dogs are susceptible to joint injuries, heart problems, and make many preexisting problems worse. If you think that your dog is becoming overweight, you need to give him a low fat, medium protein, and high fiber diet. Diet foods, which have about 15 percent fewer calories per pound, are widely available. Delicious, less fattening home cooked diets are also available.
* Puppies need high protein and slighyly higher fat level in their diets like those found in puppy foods. The same level of nutrients goes for pregnant and nursing mothers.
* Underweight dogs, highly active dogs, and stressed dogs need a high protein diet. Giving them puppy food will supply them with this need. On the other hand, obese dogs and dogs suffering from heart problems need to be fed a low fat diet.
* Older dogs, particularly those with kidney problems should be on an average level of diet with high content of quality protein.

Barking but true: How a Rottweiler became surrogate father to an abandoned wolf cub
Last updated at 9:52 AM on 12th June 2009
But that hasn't stopped 18-month-old,150lb dog Ulrok and and eight-week-old cub Beldaran becoming best of friends
They sleep together, frolic in the sun and even howl at the moon in unison - and their unlikely union brings a smile to the face of everyone who sees them.
Beldaran, who weighs just five pounds, was adopted by the Rottweiler when she was just four days old at the Kisma Preserve in Mt Desert, Maine, USA, after she was rejected by her parents.
Since then the unlikely pair have been inseparable in everything they do.
Both are rescue animals and spend all of their time together at the reserve where they are cared for at the centre's sanctuary. The organisation takes in creatures of all breeds and all sizes.
Preserve director Heather Grierson, 49, said: 'It's a true love story that has touched the hearts of everyone who visits the preserve.
'You just can't be in a bad mood when these two are around. It's impossible to look at them and not feel good.'
Beldaran is lovingly described as a 'little accident' by the 12 staff at the sanctuary - who didn't know she was due and believed her rescued parents Gandalf, one, and Kahlani, two, were too young to have babies.
Both parents were handed in to the sanctuary when they were young.
It is thought they had been snatched from the wild for the purpose of breeding them with dogs to make hybrids - a fad in America.
'It causes many problems,' said Heather.
'It's purely for fashion and people don't realise the difficulties of caring for these wild breeds.
'Then they either dump them or hand them over to us.
'It was a massive shock when Kahlani gave birth,' she added.
'We didn't even know Gandalf had it in him and suddenly we had a little wolf pup on our hands.'
Sadly, because of her young age, Kahlani's maternal instincts failed to kick in and she ignored the new arrival.
Heather said: 'We started to get really worried because Gandalf didn't have a clue what to do and we were really concerned he might hurt Beldaran.'
In an effort to get the pup some maternal care, Heather and her team placed Beldaran with another canine at the centre - Yorkshire Terrier Mia - who had just finished raising her own litter and was still lactating.
But the Yorkie wasn't interested either and made every effort to avoid the pup that was being pushed on her. 'That's when Ulrok stepped up,' said Heather.
'Ever since Beldaran's arrival he had been trying to get involved in everything. He would clean her and when she was making her puppy whimpering he would bound over to investigate.
'He had such a massive interest in her that we decided he would be the best option and we could bottle feed the wolf. It worked out brilliantly.'
Now Ulrok - a rescue dog whose previous owners imported him from Europe and gave him up when they couldn't cope - and his new love eat, drink, play and sleep together.
The duo have also become a huge attraction at the reserve.
Once Beldaran is full size and can fend for herself, Heather plans to gradually introduce her to a group of adult wolves at the park to make sure she stays all wolf and is not alienated from her own species.
'At this stage it has all been about giving her a paternal figure and Ulrok accepted the role gladly.
'At 18 months he is still a puppy in his head and he also needed a companion to play with.
'It was a perfect match. Dogs and wolves are very similar biologically and they both need strong social ties when they develop.
'We'll eventually move Beldaran in with the other wolves in phases but I'm sure her bond with Ulrok will always be there. After all this time together they will never forget each other.'
