FOOD: ANY GOOD DOG FOOD WITH LESS THAN 23% PROTEIN – NATURE’S RECIPE, NATURAL CHOICE, NUTRO MAX, DIAMOND PREMIUM EDGE, ETC. PYRS DO NOT NEED A HIGH PROTEIN HIGH FAT DIET, SO BEFORE YOU DECIDE READ THE INGREDIENTS. YOU CAN ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF CANNED DOG FOOOD OR COTTAGE CHEESE TO THE DRY FOOD. COTTAGE CHEESE AND YOGART ARE GOOD FOR THE COAT.
FEED ONE CUP OF DRY DOG FOOD TWICE A DAY FOR AN ADULT PYR – ADDING TABLE FOOD IS OK WITH THE DRY DOG FOOOD, VEGETABLES, MEAT, RICE, ETC.
REGULAR GROOMING: BRUSHING HELPS KEEP THE COAT NICE AND FREE OF MATS. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE AREAS BEHIND THE EARS, AROUND THE NECK, ON THE BELLY AND BACK OF THE LEGS WHERE MATS MOST OFTEN OCCUR.
CLIP NAILS ESPECIALLY THE DEW CLAWS, WHICH CAN GROW IN A CIRCLE AND BECOME IMBEDDED IN THE PAD.
CLEAN THE EARS WELL EVERY WEEK TO PREVENT INFECTION.
BRUSH TEETH –GIVING THEM A LARGE BISCUIT ALSO HELPS KEEP THE TEETH CLEAN. CHEWING ON A NATURAL BONE KEEP THE TEETH CLEANER.
THE KEY TO A HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GREAT PYRENEES IS LOVE AND DISCIPLINE IN FULL MEASURE. THIS BREED IS LOYAL TO AND PROTECTS ONLY THOSE THINGS IT REGARD AS ITS OWN.
