Can Great Pyrenees Live In Hot Weather? 3 Tips To Keep Your Great Pyrenees Cool In The Summer!

we just lost our great pyrenees Godzilla ..he was 17 and his heart gave out..missing him so much.

We live in the Salem Plateau of Missouri. It gets hot AND cold. The Pyrenees rescues WE get, have different coat thicknesses. Our last one, Rae Dawn Chong, had an extremely thick coat. Our current baby…Polar Bear, has a much lighter, straighter coat. Our dogs roam and get a good sprint on 3 of the 6 acres. With deciduous trees, dug holes, porch skirts, and Doggie doors...the dogs take care of themselves. Polar won't stay inside, so I hose her belly and feet. The other dogs go into the watering hole but she doesn't like heavy water on her fur. She also does not like to step over and into the Kiddie pool wall, so I have to have a very shallow or sloped pan of water for her to cool off in.

Finally, I find someone in Texas, I have a Great Pyrenees, Blu is he’s name, and I also live in TEXAS, I keep my baby inside in the summer, even though we have a creek at the end of our property, and with all this rain, that we’ve been having, he’s in heaven, Following you guys from now on 👏🏼

We are in Southern AZ. While they love the snow & monsoons, they love a good hose down or pool too.

In hot weather,.. You keep the undercoat brushed out if you can. Their bodies DO KNOW the environment they are in. And react to the same. Pyrs have been working from Newfoundland (a breed they are part of) to Texas. And have been doing it for some thousands of years. Climate is not our problem really. People knowing we are Nocturnal, and Awake All Night IS 😏 ... people are New, Pyrs Aren't 🥰🐕‍🦺🥰 THEY ARE A SPECIAL BREED 🖖

Thank you so much !!! 🙏🏽

I live in south Texas and my pyre loves sunbathing in the middle of the day during the summer… she also loves to come into the ice cold AC when she’s had enough . Best dogs eve

I had 2 Pyr's in Florida, they stayed inside with our Husky. 😀 The birds love their fur for nesting.

Thanks!

Love your videos!

Great information!

thank you for sharing your care for GP! A lot of people make excuses to let their GP go bc of hot weather!

Thank you!! We just got a Great Pyrenees in bama. I worry about those high temperatures

Thank you

Great information. Sub’d.

I'm glad I ran across your channel!! I'm getting 2 pups the end of this week...and checking on another 5 that need to be rehomed. I currently have chickens, ducks and turkeys but want to include goats/sheep & a couple cows!

Good info

I came to this video because my mother is always texting me telling me she seen on the news about dogs dying outside in the heat and that our great Pyrenees can't be outside more than 20 minutes. We've went back and fourth about this and I figured I had to find a good video to show her explaining the breed more. Ours was born on a farm and she was born outside in Virginia. We live in Pennsylvania, it does into the high 90s but she has shade and water, and when I try to bring her inside she will push to stay outside. She's loves it. We brush her everyday or so and they do shed a ton!!

The water bowl/trough tip is good. I've had other dogs who never played or dipped themselves in their bowls until I got my Pyrenees. 👍

Hello from the South of France ! I put my Pyr (2 years old) indoor with the air conditioning as it is the canicule this July (32-34 degrees C.) Thanks for the tips !
