I was wondering what food each of you have found best for your Pyrs? I am
feeding my 95% pyr/5% Aussie Shep. !(mentality and personality are Pyr),
Nature's Variety Prairie, Lamb and Rice. Several times I have tried
weaning
him off this to try something he likes better that still is high quality
but
no matter how slowly I try changing him he ends up with diarrhea.
Right
now I am slowly adding Royal Canin, Large Breed #26 which he really
likes -
we'll see. The reason I want to change is that when he gets only Prairie
he
has no keen interest in eating. When these other foods are added he eats
with vigor!
He likes Wilderness, too, but his stomach doesn't agree with his taste
buds.
Any suggestions? Also, I want to make sure his food is an all around good
one for his body-type, fur, etc. While I am at it - what
shampoo/conditioner do you use? I use one from the veterinarian because
he
came to us 4 years ago with some skin issues. But, once in a while I do
use
something else on him. Thank you.

I just switched to Purina Proplan Salmon Sensitive Stomach coz the
Proplan
Lamb and Rice went to these awful rubber type pieces that was making my
dogs
stool loose and terrible. They seem better with the Salmon formula. Its
more
costly but it seems to be a better food.

Jeanne;
I feed my oldest Pyr, Czar, Nutro Natural Choice for Large Breeds with
Glucosamine for his dry food. (2 cups 2x a day) I recently found the
perfect solution for him....adding about 1/2 can of Nutro Natural Choice
Chicken,Rice & Oatmeal Formula for Sensitive Stomachs. He has done
amazing since I added the canned food. It touts healthy skin, shiny
coat and vitality, and I now swear by it for him. No diarrhea, no
lethargy, no vomiting, no gurgly sounds in his tummy, nothing; he loves
it and he is very, very healthy for a 7 year old! My other Pyr and my
Newf both eat the Nutro dry food, but they also have a natural diet of
steamed vegetables, fruit, yogurt, lamb and pumpkin. Czar just can't
have any of that due to his sensitive stomach. I just think it is so
odd that Czar from the time he was born has such an incredibly fussy
digestive system. My youngest Pyr, Tundra, who is almost a year, has
the stomach of a goat; she can and will eat anything except bananas with
no issues.
I am very, very pleased with the Nutro for sensitive stomach brand; and
I wish I would have tried it long ago!
Beth, Czar, Osa and Tundra in Rural Wisconsin
