mushroom 12,389 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 As I said on a previous thread. I'm off to the mountains for 4 days and wondered peoples opinions on feeding. Should I continue to feed his meat and veg diet or dry while there? It's going to be hard going, the first peak we are doing is 2500 metres and then the whole trek is gonna be around 110-120km over the four days through real mountainous terrain.

paulus 26 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 he will need good protein rich food, remember if you choose dried you need to carry extra water and water is heavier than meat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I would keep him on what he's on. Maybe cook up a load of brown pasta or rice and put in a sealed tub. Should be good for 3/4 days and will be a good source of calories. Also take a couple of blocks of lard for extra fat and calories. As said above dry food would be easier but dogs need lots of water when on dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,389 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Aye water is a bit of an issue on some parts of the trip. I reckon I'll just add pasta to his food I'll take it dry and cook it up there. As for his food I'll just bag it up as opposed to hard tubs it should pack better but fuuck its gonna add at least 5kg to my backpack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
