Popular Rottweiler Questions (& Answers!)

This page is packed with some of the questions I get asked on a daily basis by worried Rottweiler owners…. and the answers that I’ve given them.

If there’s something in your pups’s behavior that you don’t understand, or you have a nagging concern about some non-urgent health issue, chances are someone else has already asked me about it!

Our dogs are our babies, and it’s natural to worry when something doesn’t seem quite ‘right’. Sometimes we can find the info. we need online, by talking to a friend, breeder etc. For minor worries this is fine.

But, if you’re Rottie seems really sick, has been injured, or is suffering from any of these symptoms, please get him to your vet immediately. This page is not for you at this point!

  • Chronic & repetitive diarrhea (especially if it’s watery or contains blood/mucus)
  • Chronic & repetitive vomiting
  • Severe lethargy, listlessness, weakness or exhaustion
  • Can’t or won’t hold down water or food
  • Shows signs of severe distress (such as panting, pacing, whining, moaning, shaking)
  • Blood loss
  • Collapse, fainting or loss of co-ordination

Many of these symptoms show up when a puppy has contracted Canine Parvovirus. Parvo is extremely dangerous for all puppies (until they’re fully vaccinated) but especially deadly for Rottweilers.

Early diagnosis and supportive treatment are the only way to give a pup a chance of beating this disease.
