Anyone interested in Odin should be prepared for: Giant-Breed Nutrition Great Danes need high-quality, large/giant-breed dog food to support healthy joint development. Overfeeding or improper diets can increase the risk of bone and joint problems. Meals are usually split into 2–3 smaller feedings per day to help reduce the risk of bloat. Health Considerations Common Great Dane needs include: Hip and joint support as they age Preventative care for bloat/GDV (a serious condition giant breeds are prone to) Regular vet care to monitor weight, joints, heart, and growth Danes are short-coated dogs and can be surprisingly sensitive to cold — sometimes they need a sweater in cooler weather. Exercise Requirements They need regular daily walks and playtime. Danes are typically calm indoors once mature, but they benefit from good physical and mental activity. Avoid excessive jumping or rough play while they are still growing to protect developing joints. ️ Space & Lifestyle Great Danes are indoor dogs — they thrive close to their people. They do require space to stretch out, move comfortably, and rest. Soft bedding is recommended for their joints. Personality & Social Needs Danes are famously known as “gentle giants.” They bond strongly with their families and want to be involved in daily life. Training and socialization are important, especially as they grow into their full size.
