king 11,972 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I would say if they have been sitting around wet and cold for some time then yes it would do them some good as in warm them up. Edited December 9, 2015 by king 3 Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I warm my dogs meal through a bit especially in winter 4 Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,596 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 If humans benefit from warm food I reckon a dog will to, When I kept hunting dogs outside They loved tomato soup and bread the young uns would leave,I threw all back in the cooking pan reheat it and then dish it out. Gravy from the roast meal on their food as well,or bit of hot water on their biscuit. 1 Quote Link to post
TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 If an animal is cold it burns more calories up to keep it`s body temperature normal.Hot food would get the dog`s optimum temperature back up quicker.Most lads give their dogs more food/calories in the very cold weather to keep them in good condition and less in the summer months as they don`t need as much. 5 Quote Link to post

patterdale 673 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I used to give mine some warm not boiling tea with milk late in the evening when the temperature got low. They would lap it all up,I thought it done them good? 2 Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I give my 2 hounds warm scrambled egg when we get in, they love it, cooked food is also more easy to digest than raw so its win win. 1 Quote Link to post
