deerhound working 3 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 lol i would hate to eat the same thing day in day out BUT I AM HUMAN NOT A DOG ...... how does to much protein affect a dogs running mate ............ when a dogs body breaks down protein it creats high acid levels to break down the protein for the dogs system this amio acid is also needed by a runnning dog to repair tussie damage during a course so if a dog is eating to much meat he wasting this trying to break down excess meat in the body a sign of this is froting after a run early season Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 nothing but would you like to eat the same thing day in day out if a dog eats to much meat it can effect his running i.e to much protien Deerhoundworking -You are thinking too much mate .Dogs unlike ourselves ,thrive on a regular diet of MEAT,MEAT,MEAT .Its the amount of meat you need to adjust in the diet and not remove it altogether. Off seasons are not excuses to feed the dogs a poorer diet ,just cut down the ration to maintenance. Too much excess protein is wasted on a dog that s not working and passes out the back end ,stressing the kidneys if fed to extreme. Quote Link to post
