Huntmad 1 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Id say its true, at the end of the day a dog has the same organs, same structure built up with muscles, eats, sh*ts exactly the same as us. Carbs are full of energy, some have fast releaseing energy while some other foods are slow releasing energy. Your body needs a certain amount of fat intake in order for the body to keep functioning properly. Once carbs energy has been used up, the body will automatically start takin energy from the fat that has been stored in the body. Protein is very good in rebuilding muscle fibres back to its original structure. Thats why you see people who do body building drink alot of protein shakes or eat alot of meat or eggs, same principle in the dog world. After a night out running its needs all the supplements it can get to replace what it has used running. Hope this is of any help Rhian iv looked up on this and is it true that a dog gets most of its energy from fat and carbo un like us humans , that its protein mostly rebuild mussle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Fats are for the slow burn, carbs for the sprint and protein for rebuilding. The dogs body can change fat to carb and visa versa. There needs to be a balence of all three that will depend on the type and amount of work the dog is undertaking.
