Nutrition is a cornerstone of Pyrenean Shepherd health. An adult Pyrenean Shepherd weighing 7–15kg typically requires 750–950 kcal of high-quality food per day, split across two meals to support consistent energy levels and healthy digestion. Their high energy output means Pyrenean Shepherds need a calorie-dense diet — look for a working- or active-dog formula with at least 25% protein content. Small breeds can experience hypoglycaemia if meals are skipped; regular feeding times are especially important for Pyrenean Shepherd puppies. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, life stage, and activity level, and consult your vet before making significant dietary changes.
Portion sizes are approximate guidelines for a small-breed dog. Adjust based on your dog's individual weight, age, and activity level. Always consult your vet.
