Rottweilers originated in ancient Rome as herding and guard dogs, later used in Rottweil for cattle herding. They are intelligent, strong, and highly trainable but can show aggression without proper socialization. Loyal and protective, they require consistent training and plenty of exercise. Due to their high energy, Rottweilers are not ideal for apartment living unless given enough outdoor activity to prevent restlessness.

Must have meal for a Rottweiler
Rottweilers require a balanced diet that supports their large, muscular build and high energy levels. Typically, they should be fed two meals a day, with high-quality protein as a key component. However, excessive protein without sufficient physical exercise can put strain on their kidneys, leading to potential kidney issues over time. Regular exercise is essential to help metabolize the protein properly and maintain overall health. A balanced diet with proper portion control and regular activity is crucial for their well-being.
What to avoid?
Most commercial dog food contains fillers like grains and soy which can be difficult for them to digest and may cause allergies. Choose dog food that is made with whole, natural ingredients and free from unnecessary additives.
Organic homely food that your pet might love
An organic home-cooked meal for a Rottweiler should include high-quality proteins (chicken or beef), healthy fats (fish oil or olive oil), complex carbs (sweet potatoes or brown rice), and vegetables (carrots or green beans). Avoid harmful ingredients like onions and garlic, and adjust portions based on your Rottweiler’s needs.
Two must follow steps for home cooked food
- Preparing home-cooked meals may be time-consuming and nutritionally incomplete, consider adding dog food toppers or supplements to make up for the lack of nutrients
- Rottweiler’s need Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and joint health. These essential fats also help reduce inflammation and boost overall immune function.
