How long does it take a German Shepherd with flat feet to recover?

With active care, a German Shepherd’s flat feet usually recover in about a month. The condition is typically caused by calcium deficiency or uneven stress on the paws. If it is from calcium deficiency, supplement calcium and allow some sun exposure; exact recovery time varies with the dog’s constitution and the owner’s care.

If the flat feet are severe and show clear pain, the dog may also need non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
