Do many lads give a starve day once a week?

 

 

I miss days out but not as often as once a week it helps give them a good appetite

 

Fussy eaters are a pain, sometimes its hard to keep good eaters in condition when there under the cosh never mind a fussy eater.

Carnivores in captivity are given a starve day or 2 a week ment to be good for them,but they wouldn't get much work.

I can never bring myself to do it though,but like to keep them guessing somedays just give them a handful.

Agree about the fussy ness,Found the worst thing to do is be feeding pups 2/3 times a day as soon as there big enough I give them one meal a day,and they will eat what ever you put down.

So from what I have gathered from everyone so far..no one feeds thier dogs solely on a Raw/barf diet ?

 

Everyone uses some form of kibble/complete. . ?

 

SO what about the way the food is broken down by the dogs metabolism..If you are mixing Raw with Complete the raw will be digested much quicker than the complete and then the body will be working harder to digest the complete remaining ? Would this have anything to do with the way they store energy and fats etc etc.

 

Would a Meal of RAW food be better before a long day/night out with plenty of animal Fat added...Or would the complete still be better becasue it will be in the dogs system a lot longer ( like porrige ).

 

Sorry chaps for all the questions... Its been very educational some of the answers So far. Thanks everyone.

fat is a slow realese energie source, skcat,,,sugars are quik release, in fact fat is sloer than complex carbs

Way slower and really cant be released hardly at all once heart rate is increased to a certain point. Its a resting energy release for the most part.

In the human body fat is only used as a source of energy when carb sources are depleted. That's why long slow running over 30 minute is recommended in humans for losing weight.

 

In dogs IMO the days leading to a hunt should be carb based so that the dog can store energy sources then when finished the hunt a high protein feed for recovery. But at end of day no diet be any good without fitness

 

I agree with body fat is an energy but its been proved that high intensity training is better for fitness.A well known coursing man said the same for his dogs ie lure sprints,lamping rabbits on say a golf course(short grass) is better than hrs of endless jogging on a treadmill or behind a bike!

Vin I feed my dogs on only raw and bone with veg and fruit mixed in and I get tremendous results ... The pup below was 7 or 8 months when this pic was taken and she worked all day on 20+ degrees with no problems at all .......

 

 

Below is a before and after picture of one of the greys I used to own and train ...before was when the fella owned him fed him on a high quality complete food and after was 2 months later after eating purely a raw diet .......

 

 

 

 

And here he is winning one of his many race wins on a raw only diet ........
