When does a Schnauzer erect its ears? A Schnauzer’s ears will slowly stand up 8-10 weeks after birth; some Schnauzers will have their ears erect later, but they will also erect before eight months; if they are eight months old If the dog's ears still don't stand up after that, it may be because of the congenital soft ear gene, or it may be due to calcium deficiency.

Under normal circumstances, Schnauzers’ ears will slowly stand up on their own between 8 and 10 weeks after birth. But not all Schnauzers will erect their ears during this period. Some Schnauzers will erect their ears later, but they will also erect before eight months. If your dog’s ears still don’t stand up after eight months, it may be because he is born with a soft ear gene, or he may be suffering from calcium deficiency. You can go to the hospital for a checkup and supplement some calcium appropriately.

During the period when the dog’s ears are erect, he needs the help of calcium. If the owner feeds dog food alone for a long time and cannot meet the Schnauzer's need for calcium, calcium deficiency will occur. In this regard, it is recommended that owners choose dog food with high calcium content and add some calcium powder appropriately. You can also mix foods with high calcium content with dog food and feed them to your Schnauzer, such as cooked egg yolks, dried shrimps, kelp and soy products. Among them, cooked egg yolks have the most calcium and are easier to absorb.

When the weather is nice, the owner can take the Schnauzer out to bask in the sun. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can produce vitamin D in the dog's body, and vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium. Therefore, the owner should take the Schnauzer out for more walks, but be careful not to bask in the sun for too long, preferably no more than an hour.
