German Shepherd puppies will start to erect their ears about one month to forty days after birth, and usually one side erects first, and then the other side erects again. The interval may range from one day to one or two months. And the thickness of the ears of some German Shepherd dogs will affect the process of erecting the ears. In addition, calcium deficiency, ear injury, ear inflammation, etc. will also affect the process of German Shepherd's ear erection.
Some German Shepherds erect their ears early, while some German Shepherds erect their ears later. These are closely related to the physical fitness and development of the German Shepherd. If you want your German Shepherd to erect its ears smoothly, you must pay attention to the supplement of calcium nutrition during the feeding process, because a German Shepherd that is not deficient in calcium will erect its ears more smoothly. It is recommended that owners can add some foods with high calcium content to the daily dog food, such as soy products, kelp, dried shrimps, etc., and feed them to German Shepherds.
If the German Shepherd has difficulty in erecting his ears, you can buy an ear erecting aid to use. They are generally sold in pet stores, and the price is not very high. They can fix the dog's ears better. You should also take your dog out to bask in the sun more often, preferably in the morning or evening when the sun is not so strong.
