Hello there! It sounds like you have a lovely Great Dane pup, but I understand you're concerned about those splayed feet. At six months old, your puppy is still growing rapidly, and sometimes large breeds like Great Danes can temporarily develop flat feet due to their fast growth rate and weight.
Splayed feet in puppies can often be linked to nutritional factors, exercise, or their genetics. Ensuring your pup is on a well-balanced diet that supports joint and bone health is crucial. It's important that they're getting the right balance of calcium and phosphorus—so double-check that with your vet if you're unsure.
Limit your puppy's activity to prevent unnecessary stress on their developing joints. Avoid hard surfaces and instead opt for grass or softer ground for playtime.
Keep an eye out for any signs of pain, limping, or difficulty walking, as these could indicate a more serious condition. If you notice any such signs or if the splayed feet don't start improving naturally as your pup grows, it would be wise to consult with a vet.
Please consider booking a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet. They can assess your puppy's specific needs and help ensure they're on the right path to healthy development.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
