Akitas are more prone to arthritis at an earlier age than most smaller dogs. Feeding your dog low calorie food in addition to recommended multivitamins will keep stress off the joints and keep arthritic chances stable. We recommend Healthy Breeds Akita Z-Flex Max Soft Chews as they contain Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Perna Canaliculus, and Omega-3 Fatty Acids which help support the joints of older dogs as well as relive pain from hip dysplasia and inflammation. In regard to arthritis, giving your dog a soft cushion to lie on can help soothe aching joints, and keep him going strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEar cleaning, nail trimming, and proper dental hygiene are all vital to your dog’s health. Plucking ear canals allows for proper circulation. Long or uncut nails can be very uncomfortable for the dog so be sure to trim them regularly. Teeth should be cleaned daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Akita requires regular bathing and brushing in order to thrive with the beautiful coat they have. Bathing should be done every one to six weeks and brushing should be done weekly. During shedding season, using a tool that removes undercoat is heavily recommend and might require use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all northern breeds, Akita's can develop a skin problem related to insufficient levels of zinc in their diet. We recommend using a Healthy Breeds Akita All in One Multivitamin Soft Chew to combat this potential issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Akitas age, they may form calluses on their elbows. Encouraging your dog to rest on soft surfaces may make all the difference. Using a cooling blanket or even a fan will help steer your dog onto the right surface. We also recommend Healthy Breeds Akita Dog Paw Balm to hydrate and moisturize the paws and help alleviate pain felt from cracking or splitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAkitas are generally healthy, but can be prone to some diseases, like hypothyroidism and hip dysplasia. One of the Akita's largest concerns is bloat or gastric torsion, a condition in which the gases accumulate in the stomach and can't escape. The stomach may then twist, totally cutting off any ability for anything to leave the stomach. This is an extreme emergency that needs immediate veterinary attention to save the dog. Nobody knows exactly how to prevent it, but many veterinarians advocate feeding an anti-gas pill with every meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAkitas large size creates immediate concern for potential joint problems, including but not limited to hip and elbow dysplasia. Making sure your Akita is fed food designed for large breeds, especially in the first year of life, will help to decrease potential dysplasia. Joint supplements, such as glucosamine chondroitin, are also vital for protecting joint health throughout life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Probiotics.

The Akita was a prized breed as they were fearless in the their tacking and holding of bear and wild boar as well as being extremely loyal to their owners. As time went on the Akita made a transition to become more of guard dog to the upper class in Japan. The Akita would see a lot of praise for their loyalty and fearlessness up until World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring World War II, many owners were simply unable to care for their dogs and furthermore many dogs were killed for their coats. After the war, it was said that only 18 purebred Akita remained. Some were sent to America and soon became known as the American Akita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the breed has become known as a strong willed and loyal
