I have had dogs, big dogs, my entire life. I currently have 2 Shiloh Shepherds - 123lb and 139lb! I also have a couple rabbits at home that I somehow haven't let them get eaten ;). Enjoy some tips I've found to help keep you sane managing big pets.
My shepherd has no clue how to drink from a water bowl! She drinks and turns around and water just drains out of her as she walks out of the kitchen. Yuck! This bowl is amazing and helps her only take what she needs and absorb the rest back. Helps to have the mat underneath as well.

Does your dog have fleas? It's not a fun thing to experience and to get rid of. Are they on prescription treatment? CapStar is over the counter and an option to kill off the active fleas while the prescription flea med works.
CAPSTAR® (nitenpyram) Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs
I CANNOT recommend this enough!! Do you have big, fluffy and extra dogs? Any pet really? I stumbled across this in a random store and it is perfect for my two shiloh shepherds. They both are always itchy, one has a skin condition and this is their favorite part of the day to be itched by this bear claw. It's super durable and a hefty scratcher!
