Creatine, whey protein etc.

Was looking at some products today and know people have used juice in dogs so was wondering if people had used any of the legal body building stuff. Was looking at them and seen some can be 400kcal and 70g protein per 100g. Was just wondering if they can be used as an additive to a diet when the dogs are peaking or doing a lot of extra work.

shouldnt be needed if the dog is fed a good diet imo

SHH tell the truth you want your dog massive for winning rosettes

they dont need the protein if fed on good diet. too much protein and it will just piss it out or cause kidney problems. most dried food has the right percentage of protein for best performance. and creatine is naturally produced in the body and is found in meats like beef. these products wont improve performance, they'll just waste your money and potentially harm your dog if overdone.

Not needed. Just feed your dog a quality feed, give it plenty of exercise, and rest. It'll be at it's peak.

Just feed good quality food and water and don't put any of that shite in yer dog, makes humans shit through the eye of a needle so you can imagine the rest.

the bad points will outweigh the good points mate, better off just making up your own "barf" dog food, from stuff you can source locally and cheaply, mixed with a bit of dry complete dog food.

steriod use should be limited to only when the gain outways the risk, after injury ect as already said to much protien in a diet will cause kidney problems and kidney problems will leed to all sorts of other complications in a running dog especially with acidosis and rhabdomyolysis

[Sirius 1,391]

It's a bad idea, pushed by people with little understanding of dogs IMO.

There was terrible article in the Cmw written by Darren Gallagher last year where he recommends its use.

 

Just feed a good balanced diet, natural supplements if needed and keep them fit, a good eye for the management of dogs is all you need.

Some good sensible replies, most products are unlikely to help and may harm.
