The Great Dane is one of the largest dog breeds on the planet. Great Danes are giant breed dogs. Like any other gentle giant, their bodies can experience episodes of extreme growth.
During those episodes, the muscular-skeletal segments might not properly align and thus different diseases occur. Generally speaking, all big dogs are prone to hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and hygroma.
The biggest growth spurts are noted when your Great Dane is between 4 and 6 months of age.
