The wholemeal bread is a very good form of ruffage and will help digest and eject the waste from the dog so that 12 hours after eating the dog will be free of any waste and be ready to work

Bang him full with carbs and protein: carbs will bring his energy levels back up stop the lameness and protein wil repair any muscle fibres that have been torn while out running.

Normally the dog goes out on the weekend so has plenty of sunday dinner left overs, make extra gravy and fill a bowl with broken up bread and tip all the left overs and mix it, the dogs love it.

Or what we normally get is an ox heart cut it all up and give it to the dogs after they have come in.

Followed with a nice massage rub down.

I always thought that dogs got there energy from FAT? unlike humans that get it from carbs

Plus if you going to use gravy always make sure its weak cause its full of salt...
