Who ever said pyrs have self cleaning fur you LIED 😂😂
Ok ok, it’s been 5ish hours and most of the dirt has fallen off but god… she’s still super dirty 😂
Link your best handy daily brushes that might help loosen up this dirt 🥴🥴🥴
She JUST had a bath lol…
I feel bad for laughing 😂 but also I’m kinda annoyed since it’s been raining so much 😭
I can just go the other way.
We found our girl, Jin, while driving down the highway near our home December 2023. She was on the shoulder of that HW, was balding in several places, & had the worst hot spots I'd ever seen - & I work with animals.
A woman in the home right by where I found her let me know that she belonged to a business owner just down the road, but they didn't take proper care of her or her companion who'd just been hit and killed not long before. We had her go to a shelter an hour away so it was harder for the 'owner' to find her, waited out her hold, then paid about $200 to adopt her formally so no one could ever claim her from us.
The first photo is of her when I found her & took her where I worked for the night, and the second is her most recently. 💜 We love her so fucking much, & I'm so glad she chose *me* to run to after refusing to go to others, as I later learned on NextDoor & through people I met in the area.
On mobile, so here is my obligatory apology for any formatting errors!
Post nail clipping treats. She didn't want to wait...
The other day my 3 to 4 year old pyr was home alone and our ac went out..when we came home he wasn't acting right and when we called for him he took off running to me but ran into the back of our jeep so hard it cracked the bumper. We realized he had heat stroke and started slowly cooling him off. We got him up to the emergency vet an hour away and they gave him fluids after us insisting it was heat stroke. They just kept saying his symptoms were from eating weed (we have never smoked at all) after paying 1k for blood work and some other tests they say it was heat stroke. But now he is flinch at everything and can't see very well at all. I feel so horrible and am so worried about him. He keeps walking into things and not wanting to walk bc he hits stuff. He can't see when I am standing in front of him.. anyone had anything like this? Ik its a unique situation but I'd what to do for him. He will be acting normal and walking around the yard then just start not being able to see anything. I'll try to attach a video of him
My good boy Hercules has been panting more and more, and not just after walks. I don’t think it’s the heat although it is getting warmer here. It seems more like anxiety or neediness. My girlfriend and I share him so he’ll stay with her for a week or two and then come by me. He seems happy overall, good appetite and doesn’t look or seem to be in pain. He will be 9. Probably overthinking, but wondering if anyone else has this going on? Any advice?
He’s the dog equivalent of the 6 year old who insists he wants to camp in the yard but is ready to come inside by 9:00. Such a baby.
I’m very excited to be adopting this lovely rescue dog- as of right now she’s being classified as Great Pyrenees which I think she definitely is but I feel like she could be a mix too?
But I can’t wait for her 😭
My Kobe can't resist cold dirt on a hot day 🌞🤒🌞
Hello! I was hoping to get more opinions from other Great Pyrenees owners. I saw one source online saying that brushing too often can damage their coat, but I also saw that brushing problem areas everyday (like tail or behind the ears) is good for maintenance. I was wondering what has worked best for all of you, as I've only had my boy since December of last year.
He's currently shedding quite a lot, and I was wondering if he's blowing coat, but also he always sheds a lot so it's hard to tell lol. As of right now, I always brush at least once a week (usually more often, when he gets grass stuck in his fur). I check for mats every day, and sometimes do additional smaller brushing sessions throughout the week. My brother/roommate hates all of the fur, but I care more about keeping my baby's fur healthy and he'll complain but get over it lol. Luckily, my boy is pretty good about brushing and tolerates even his tail.
I live in a location that gets pretty warm (north Texas), so I also want to be conscious of doing what I can to keep him from overheating on our outside excursions. I am very heat intolerant myself due to some health conditions, so we only go for walks in the morning and evening and keep our daytime trips short (he likes being out in the sun more than I do). He's otherwise an indoor dog in an apartment with A/C.
