Built for speed and strength, Dobermanns have a lean, muscular body that thrives on a protein-rich diet. Whilst this is a fairly hardy breed, Dobermanns are known to suffer from kidney disease and certain cancers as they age.

In addition to this, Dobermans can also develop hip dysplasia, bloat, and arthritis - most of which stems from imbalanced diets and insufficient exercise. Doberman food is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, and fats that are essential in maintaining overall health and boosting immunity right from puppyhood. 

Ever heard of the term 'athletes of the dog world'? Yup, that's them. That's your little goofball right there. Dobermanns shine on the exercise front, and believe it or not, the more they exercise, the more energy they seem to have. A Dobermann who isn't exercised is almost impossible to manage at home, simply because exercise is their outlet for all that built-up energy. Dobermans need a minimum of 4 to 5 hours of physical exercise every day. And, not the walk in the park kind.

This breed thrives on activities that use both their mind and body, such as fetch, agility, jogging, scent work, hiking, and swimming. Alongside physical exercise, ensure your Dobermann receives good mental stimulation from different types of puzzles and toys - that is, if you do not wish for your home to become a Doberman chew toy. Whilst training a Doberman is easy, it isn't optional. This is a dog that needs to know the rules from A to Z, especially what is allowed and what isn't. So, make training fun by adding various challenge levels, and you'll be amazed at how smart your Dobbie is.
