bird 9,969 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 why feed your dog when it gets back from a hard nights work would you run a marathon on an empty stomach if more than a hour running.? , the day i go lamping, i feed the dog a light meal(sardines+ cup of meal) 4pm. So when go lamping say 12 pm its got something to give it (more ) energy. plus put electrolyte in the water, (working+home.) i think if youve got to put electrolyte or any other supplements in the water before a dog goes out then theres something wrong with the dog as a good healthy dog shouldnt need any extra supplements before hand i take the water+ elect mix to give as drink when the dog needs it, and after 20-30 runs most dogs would.? And the light meal gives the energy to do that kind of work. And my dog is a fit dog that as done alot of hard nights lamping for a 3 year old dog, and in my book he looks a fit+strong healthy dog.

DOVEY182009 12 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 as i tried earlier in the post about mag box ,whats the secret behind them? It relaxes muscles, releives cramp etc. basicly just lyk elecctric impulses masaging ur dog. Good for injurys, nerves and stuff. I only know what i've been told but most coursing lads swear by them because you will get that bit extra out of the dog when its starting to cramp up and stuff. I've got 1 with the treatment head but just need to get round to geting a box and a board nocked up. Quote Link to post

DEERMAN 1,020 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 feed them when they get back in morning after lamping....then 2 eggs and some oilve oil or salmon oil about 4/5 in afternoon before going out that night . Quote Link to post
matt32 44 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 i feed my dog at 10pm unless im going out that night then i just feed when i get in,dogs digets food at different rates than us so you cant compare them to ourselves.also if you look at wild dogs and wolves you wont find them feeding then running around again six hourrs later.
