RELATIONSHIP WITH CHILDREN

Pyrenean Mastiffs like children company. They consider children as if they were their games partners. Pyrenan Mastiffs are affectionate and patient and they will also accept their young masters' friends easily.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER DOGS

Pyrenean Mastiffs can peacefully live with another breed dogs. In the picture on the left you can see Hula Hop de la Cabaņa de Otaula with Niņa, a twelve years old mongrel who shares her vital space with Pyrenean Mastiffs. All of them accept each other.

PYRENEAN MASTIFFS CARE

Feeding

The best feeding for our pyrenean mastiff is dry food. We recommend the use of a Premium quality dry food. With this feeding dogs will not need any viitamins or mineral complexes extra contribution as good quality dry food has all the necesary nutrients. It is specially important to take care of the feeding during the puppy growth age. Pyrenean Mastiffs growth age extends until 18 months old. It is well worthy to think that the puppy your are taking home will reach 70 or 80 kilograms. This is the reason why this fast growth requires a very balanced feeding to attend to your PM puppy's bones and joints health.

We follow the following steps in order to avoid stomach torsions:

  • Placing the bowls high enough so that the dog does not need to crouch to eat.

  • Distributing the daily amount of dry food in two takes (in the morning and at night)

  • We never let our dogs exercise immediately after eating (not even the daily walks)

Health

Following the above advice for a correct feeding of our Pyrenean Mastiff, visits to the veterinarian will be limited to the scheduled inspections. Vaccines must be repeated every year during all the life of the dog and in addition we will give them a deworming medication every six months.

Groomming

Pyrenean Mastiffs do not need any special groomming. Two yearly baths will usually be enough. We must brush  our dogs with an appropriate brush for long hair dogs once a week in order to preserve PMs hair in optimal conditions.  During dumb time a good brush will make elimination of dead hair easier and it will be suitable for the new hair growth.
