If you are going to soak it, just luke warm water and dont soak the food for more that half hour, i give it 10/15 mins, just cover the food, dont overflow it with water.

 

The extra soaking is just for prior to working your dog hard, not for normal feeding

 

Sound...

But, i would not feed a dog at all, before work..

 

 

Neither would i .....

 

A dog should not need electrolyte replacement daily (unless working hard daily) or if poorly.

I use this.....

Prior to a long night/days work, during if needed and after when i get home.

 

If you know you are going out on a big night in advance, soak the dogs evening meal the night & morning before in a vast quantity of water.

you could use diorylite from any good chemist bud used for adults and children that are dehydrated full of electrolytes

i might me wrong dos,ent boiling water on the dry take all the oils out of the dry,

never heard that before rocky, would warm water be ok? cheers......john

 

John, personally, i would not put boiling water over the dry food, it will kill all the vitamins ect.

If you are going to soak it, just luke warm water and dont soak the food for more that half hour, i give it 10/15 mins, just cover the food, dont overflow it with water.

I give soaked complete in the morning and dry in the evening, split the feed, it digests better.

For your pup John, half a mug, soaked in the morning and half a mug dry evening, should be grand.

As for electrolytes, i all ways use them, they are badly needed after hard running ect, i know at one time, no one had them, but, a lot of running dogs died as well..

thanks martin
