I LOVE MY GSD BECAUSE..
…because he takes care of me as much as I take care of him. He's pretty cute too.
…because she is smart, dorky, stubborn, and an all-around good girl.
... because she is amazing with the kids, makes me laugh daily, and keeps the whole family safe. The best breed ever!
…because he is very goofy, and cuddly. He has no idea he is 80 pounds and not a lap dog. He loves to make noises when he is stretching and when he isn't happy.

frequently asked questions
How much food should I feed my German Shepherd?
Every dog has a different sweet spot. This has to do with things like age, genetics, lifestyle, digestibility, quality of their food, and any health issues. There are formulas that we (and your vet) use to estimate where to start, taking these things into consideration. These recommendations can be found on your BARK food bag. After that, the ultimate answer comes from this question: Is your dog maintaining a healthy, lean body weight? If the answer is YES, you are feeding the perfect amount! If the answer is NO (they are getting a little too skinny or too chubby), then we need to make some gradual adjustments.
How many times should a German Shepherd eat?
For most adults, splitting their daily recommended kibble amount into two meals is perfect.
How can I transition my German Shepherd to BARK Food?
To transition your German Shepherd over to BARK Food, we generally recommend transitioning Food over the course of one week, gradually phasing out the old food and introducing the new. For the first two days offer a meal that is 25% new food and 75% old food. After that, move to 50% and 50% for two days, then 75% new food and 25% old food for two more days. After that your dog should be ready to eat only their new food! During this transition you will monitor for any vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite change that would indicate your dog is having trouble with the new food. For more on transitioning dog foods see our guide here.
