I'd have to check on the dewormer but I know it wasn't within the last month. Not sure on their weight as we haven't weighed them anytime recently. I am due to take a fecal sample in to the vet so I'll probably get that done this week.

My Anatolian Shepherd eats 5 cups of very good food, two kinds. She is fed only once a day and sometimes will go several days without eating, which is normal for these dogs. She just turned 11 months old the other day and weighs 110 pounds. She does get a fair amount of raw meat too, including deer, chicken, turkey, etc.

My pups eat about 4-5 cups a day of good qualitly kibble! I only feed once a day, they are now 8 months, and sometimes only eat half. When they were younger, they acted like they were starved every day and would gobble up at least 8 cups each!!!
My adult LGD weighs 226lbs, and she eats about eight cups a day and has alot of deer and butcher bones and scraps.
What kind of LGD is that?

My pups are Maremma/ GP, and my adult is a pure bred Great Pyraneese! I know it sounds too big for a female GP, the vets all think so too, so i always have bring her in to be weighed in order to get the correct wormer dosage! But it is true! She is usually between 220lb and 230lbs!

Ours eat a combination of good kibble, white rice and eggs or white rice and meat every day. They eat about 7 cups each. They are 9 months old with one weighing 104 and the other 90.
