what your prefered supplements for your runners this season

 

Good quality flesh/mixer and fresh clean water. Job done.....

Good food, if they're not getting good enough food no supplement is gonna help and if they are getting good food then they don't need any unless there is a problem with them

 

many so called supplements may slow healing and recovery or at best have no effect.

Do go pumping shite into your dogs just there normal food and water will do! If they're looking lean then up the food a bit!

Duke 1 multivitamin with iron and 1 omega with fish oil in there dinner everynight puts great shine on there coat diff helps them perform.

Not looking for an argument but why not feed them foods that contain these goodies for instance fish?

couple of tins of sardines a week either in oil or tomato sauce. brine ones are sometimes cheaper but need draining to take the salt away

when we raced we used to use supplements but with a good varied diet i dont think lurchers need them, get out fishing at this time of year and stock the freezer with mackeral, all the fish oil and good protein there failing that tinned pilchards or sardines once a week are good with the bonus the tomato sauce helps with any cramping problems, red meat (liver, hare, venison etc) good source of iron, theres lots of books and web info out there and the mutts don't get bored with the same old

Nigel, you're determined to sell that Sandymere's Wonder Supplement...........

 

I agree good quality grub is more important....most folk who feed supplements do so because..."Jimmy down the road says it's good for them...."or "My grandfather always fed it...."

 

Well, my grandfather fed bread and milk sops to his ferrets....don't mean we should do the same.....

 

I once went down the supp route with seaweed....for no other reason than "Jimmy fed it...."

 

I've often asked folk why they feed this supp or the other and very few can offer anything other than weak anecdotal evidence of the perceived good it does....

 

Good clean/quality food....

So, what does it do for them - apart from a shiny coat....???? How do you know they perform better on this supplement...my betting is that it is making no difference....

 

Couple of tins of oily fish per week would do the shiny coat.....

Quality food, clean water, fresh air and exercise. supplements are when a diet is lacking in nutrients, a shiney coat good brush and polish with a chamois or pair of tights, tights available in bulk from Desmond
