The Bull x 3 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Was woundering if anyone could help me, ive been shopping about and come across some all in 1 supplement for working dogs. I have a 12 month old saluki wippet grey bitch and she tends to pick up injurys easliy, now i know shes still developing but im finding it hard to put weight on her as shes a very picky eater. Now i go the gym from time to time and know that all muscle growth is promoted by healthy amounts of protein and creatine (depending on how hard u work). So more to the point this supplements offers all this and more and was thinking it might benifit my bitch? As anyone ever used such a supplement or just general advise would help thanks. Il upload a picture of the supplement and propertys thanks again. Quote Link to post

The one 8,487 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Never even thought about something like that usually decrease the food or increase the protein with more walking etc in the run up to the season Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 saluki`s tend to be light framed, big muscled dogs tend to get just as many injuries as fine muscled dogs in fact quite often more so, false muscle on a running dog will not help only food and fitness will achieve anything worthwhile, if the dog is healthy,well fed and regularly exercised there should be no need for supplements Quote Link to post
dodger 2,765 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think protein is over rated, yeh we need it course we do n it does give you an edge if training hard, but I've tried doing a couple of months without it n didnt notice any difference in how i looked n performed, when I say without it I mean extra like protein drinks supps etc, n just got my protein from food but not goin out of my way to get the right amount n best source, you always have to train hard n well don't you whatever you eat but the best shape I've been in was when just eatin clean natural food not dietin or anything or eatin so many times a day at the right time, but a good breakfast n plenty of fresh fruit fresh veg n salad n normal balanced meals n plenty of water, without thinking about it after 6 weeks I was ripped I think the body naturally detox's itself after that time n responds, I've tried it a few times now, you gota be sweating a lot most days tho as well so loosing water retention over that period plays a big part aswell, I know that's not about dogs n I'm no nutrition guru far from it but that's just what I've found works for me,if someone is bulkin that's different altogether tho eh, but like I say for humans n animals I think people put to much enthesis on protein to make a good a good diet, yeh for dogs meat nbr 1 but I'm not sure about all this 28 percent n 30 present n supplements make any difference..a good clean balanced is surely all that's needed.. 1 Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 There’s no beating a good diet and exercise and if working they develop the muscles etc to suit the job they are doing, just look at a human marathon runner and a sprinter both superbly fit but very different physiques.

Westy76 546 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think the only time I would supplement dogs would be if I was working them flat out to aid recovery times not for physique or bulk as a good balanced diet and work would do that naturally. Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 that dog looks fine for a saluki cross of that age. keep your money in your pocket, if the diet is correct then the body makes its own creatine. creatine doesnt actually help build muscle but is involved in supplying energy to muscles for work 1 Quote Link to post
The Bull x 3 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Cheers for all your advise decided give it a miss! I spose trying to rush the development of my bitch before shes even had time prove her self in her first season is daft, hopefully after a few more months good diet and plenty exercise her bones fully develop and become less prone to injury because shes 1 fast dog with plenty of stamina!
