does anyone give electrolyte

[jf1970 328]

was wondering how many of you give your dogs electrolyte,if so when and how often would you give?, if not is there any reason why? have heard this product mentioned a couple of times and just wondered, i would have no need to use this product as my pup is only 9mths old, but who knows maybe in the future, thanks for all your reply's.

thats what i was wondering mate, if it was given all the time or only when worked hard. do you find it gives them that wee bit extra energy or is it just purely for rehydration.

[terrierjohn 49]

i think mainly just for rehydration but if it means the dog is more hydrated during a run then i would think a little extra energy is produced and mixed in with a good diet it will bring out the best in your dog

brilliant.thanks.how much do you give em?

[cocker 2,655]

i always give them plenty of fresh water, but if they are a bit dehydrated, i will just squirt some of that mixture straight into the dogs mouth out of one of them sport bottles, and offer them a bowl of it back at home, i wouldnt ever give them it unnesasarily,

a really good source of potassium can a be found in tinned tomatoes, i mix a small amount of these of these, in with my dogs food once or twice a week , (only give them a bit and not too often)

 

all the best mate, have a good year
