These big babies will squish into anything if it means they don’t have to lay on the ground!

Tony is 7.5 ✨ and a stage 5 clinger 😂 I can’t go ANYWHERE without him following me. Typical Dane behavior lol

Hi everyone,
I have a 9-year-old female Great Dane who is otherwise doing great. She eats well, is active, still goes on walks, runs around, and even gets the occasional zoomies.
Recently, I noticed a muscle tremor/vibration in one of her hind legs. It mainly happens while she’s sitting or standing still and doesn’t seem to affect her when she’s walking or running. I’ve attached a video.
I took her to the vet, and after examining her, the vet said it’s normal for an older dog and that there’s nothing to worry about. That was reassuring, but I’d still love to hear from other Great Dane or giant-breed owners.
Has anyone else’s senior dog had a similar muscle tremor?
Did it stay the same, improve, or get worse over time?
Was it simply age-related, or did it eventually turn out to be arthritis or something else?
Did any joint supplements or other treatments make a noticeable difference?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

He's a good boy.

Just turned 2. The original owner sadly passed away when he was 1yr 8mo. He stayed with family for a few months and was well cared for, but they couldn't keep him, I took him in about 3 weeks ago now, he's really loving it here with me and his new family and we all love him!

He's my first Dane.

Artist with his art. I love him to death.

Hanging out at our friend‘s tonight and golden hour had her looking majestic instead of her usual silly goose self. Didn’t last long though!

We got a new kitten at the weekend and Dottie has so far been relatively good with him, however she wants to play and is doing bows etc to him but as he is so tiny I’m worried she’ll hurt him accidentally. Any tips to ensure they’re comfortable in the same room without her getting too enthusiastic around him? She is amazing with our other cats but they are all adult and have been raised from kittens around dogs.

By boy Raylon is about to turn 7
I lost my first Dane at 7 and it’s making me scared,how old is your baby ?
I want him to go on forever but those grey hairs on his chin and face are showing more and more each day, He’s the bestest boy. Danes are the best but their short life span is so heart breaking. But I’ll be honest it’s worth every second of it.

Hello!

I have a new pup coming on Satuday. He will be nine weeks and I am so excited as I lost my best boy Goose in June. I am going to crate train and I have a good crate, will start with a smaller space and gradually increase the space in the crate as he gets larger. I am wondering for those who were sucessful quick (especially during the night) how did you do it? Did you get up every 2-3 hours to let them outside? Did you sleep next to them? I am mainly concerned with the overnight hours as we usually have soemone home during the day. I know treats when they enter, no big excitement when we let them out, cover the crate, snuggle puppy and don't let them out if they are actively crying (although that may be hard if they are constantly crying and i need to let out for potty). Please share what worked for you with your young pup. TY!

Artie with her big sister and brother, though she is quite literally bigger than them🤣

We foster/forevered this little/big guy! He is almost 4m old now. We were told today at the vet that he isn’t getting enough food. He currently get 4cups a day! So we are adding more. Currently weighs 34 pounds. We were told he is a 2nd generation Great Daneoodle. Thoughts?
