WHERE CAN IT BE OBTAINED?

[Guest HARE]

I find Gain complete greyhound food, (manufatured by the same folks who do AF) and rabbits or chicken ect once or twice a week works well.

2lb of raw tripe and 5 chicken wings for my bullx

[bullcross1 10]

i notice a few people are feeding tripe, av just finished reading a book, which is called john kohnke vetinary advice for greyhounds, this bloke wrote in the greyhound star mag for a few years answering questions, on a wide range of issues. I picked up on a couple of intresting articles what he said about tripe " tripe is low energy, protein and fat. It has only about two-thirds of the enregy content of beef, about 12 per cent protein, and 2 percent fat. It is usally best fed cooked and best mixed on a 50/50 basis with other meat. He goes on to say never to feed a pup on tripe as you would need a large amount of it for the dog to get anything out of it.

If any one is intrested in health care and nutrition for running dogs i would recomened this book.
