German Shepherd: size, daily amount and PAWER

German Shepherd owners often ask if PAWER fits. It is a daily liquid for adult dogs, dosed by weight (22 to 40 kg is the usual breed range). It is not a medicine and promises no results. Ask your vet first if your dog has a condition or takes medication.

Typical adult weight: 22 to 40 kg

At 22 kg3.7 ml a day
At 40 kg6.8 ml a day

Breed standards give ranges. Your dog may be lighter or heavier, so weigh your dog and use that number.

Who is the German Shepherd?

The German Shepherd is a clever, loyal working breed. Adults are usually 22 to 40 kg, with a lot of spread between females and males. Many owners describe a dog that wants a task and stays close to its person.

How the daily amount follows weight

PAWER Daily is a liquid for dogs. The dose is simple: 1.7 ml per 10 kg of body weight per day. The syringe is marked in ml. Weigh your dog, divide by ten, multiply by 1.7.

28 kg dog: 4.76 ml a day
35 kg dog: 5.95 ml a day

The dose finder on the site does the same sum for you. Always use your own dog’s weight, not the breed average.

Age and size questions

Because the range is wide, two German Shepherds can need quite different daily amounts. That is why PAWER follows weight, not breed. Owners of big dogs also often ask their vet about joints and body condition as the years go by.

Owners of this breed commonly ask about three stages:

Puppy: Shepherds are lanky and still filling out at 18 months or so. PAWER is not for puppies under one year.
Adult: Adults are often at their most energetic and focused.
Senior: Seniors commonly slow down, and owners often talk to the vet about movement and comfort.

What PAWER cannot promise

PAWER is a complementary feed, not a medicine. It does not treat, cure or prevent any disease. Its eight ingredients (NMN, PQQ, CoQ10, methylfolate, fisetin, isoquercetin, inulin and vitamin B12) have mostly been studied in people and lab animals. PAWER itself has not been studied. Nobody can promise results, and we will not.

What you may notice is up to your dog. Think of it as a daily routine and a way to look at what goes in the bowl.

Talk to your vet first

Ask your vet before starting if your dog:

takes any medication
has a health condition
is pregnant or nursing
or if you are simply unsure

PAWER is not for puppies under one year. It is for dogs only: never give it to a cat or any other animal, as some compounds that suit dogs do not suit other species.

Questions people ask

How big is a German Shepherd?

Adults are usually 22 to 40 kg. Females are often lighter than males. Because the spread is wide, weigh your own dog and use that number for the dose.

How much PAWER for a German Shepherd?

1.7 ml per 10 kg per day. A 35 kg dog gets 5.95 ml, a 28 kg dog gets 4.76 ml. The dose finder on the site does the sum for you.

Is it for a young German Shepherd?

Not under one year. Shepherd puppies grow fast, so ask your vet first about anything extra in the bowl, and wait until your dog is a year old at least.

My Shepherd takes medication. Can I add PAWER?

Ask your vet first. This applies to any dog on medication or with a known condition. Your vet knows the full picture and can say whether it fits.

Does PAWER support a Shepherd's joints?

We do not make claims about named conditions. PAWER is a daily routine with eight ingredients, studied mostly in people and lab animals. For joint worries, see your vet.
