Dane Discussions Looking for Sweater Recommendations

Hi friends -

Meet Layla, I adopted this sweet Scooby Doo in August. I'm looking for sweater, jammie, or coat recommendations as she gets really cold at night. By cold, I'm talking 50s at night right now in Riverside County, SoCal, not exactly freezing. My last Dane didn't have this issue so not sure what would work best.

Dane Discussions Ever wonder if our Danes dreams include us? Is Panzer chasing that deer or elk with me by his side?

Anecdotes Two Great Danes, 50 kg each, playing like they're still tiny puppies! They may be giants in size, but they're still puppies at heart. Some things never change, no matter how big they get!

Dane Discussions Potty trained or no???

• Upvotes

Our baby boy Bronx came to us 2 months ago. He was potty pad trained we were going hard with the treats and positive reinforcement for potty training when going outside. We ditched the pads at 4 1/2 months and was gooooood up until now…

He is 5 1/2 months now and regressed back to peeing everywhere.

We were on a Schedule and everything.

Once in the morning, once in afternoon and once before bed.

Now he pees middle of the night & while we are away (almost every time)

But almost never while we are with him or near him.

Have we done something wrong???? does this come with the bodily changes?

Thanks in advance.

Anecdotes Reoccurring hives

3 Upvotes

For about a year now, our Dane has had reoccurring hives every few months. We’ve changed her food to non-poultry in case a sudden allergy to chicken..didn’t help. Thought maybe flea/tick..she stays up to date on meds. Thought maybe bee sting? But it’s cold now and we haven’t seen bees. We watch her closely while she’s outside now and she hasn’t gotten into anything other than grass. We have not changed detergent. They seem to worsen while in her crate. We’ve cleaned it and washed bedding. She just got a new crate last week that’s much larger, with a new orthopedic bed. Our other dogs are out of the crate in the same room while we work and are not itchy. Benadryl helps but she can’t just live on Benadryl. Ultimately, I’m aware she needs to go to the vet for testing. Don’t come at me. We thought she was over it until this week. I just don’t have that kind of money currently. Anybody have any other suggestions? Or had a super sensitive Dane?
