Hello All,
I am new to this board/forum. I just adopted a 2 yr old Great Pyrenees this past Sunday from rescue. I have completely fallen head over heels in love. She is an amazing dog! But I do have a question about how much or rather, how little, she eats. I have always fed my other dog Innova and got Jenny (my pyr) the Innova large breed formula. I assume this is not the kind of food that she ate in rescue, so I imagine that she needs to get used to it, but she just doesn't eat much. I offer her food twice a day and she has never even come close to finishing a meal. This is definitely new for me as my other dog has never left so much as a crumb of food in his bowl! I planned, according to her weight (98 lbs) and the back of the Innova bag, to feed her 3.5 cups/day, but truly I doubt if she has ever eaten more than 2 cups in a day. I am also assuming that she is getting more physical activity with me than at the rescue with our daily long walks, etc., so I thought that would increase her appetite, too. Any thoughts?
