CARADOCMICK 21 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 For those in the know. Would adding lard or something similar to the dog's diet be good for them? It seems from reading this that it's the fatty stuff that's good for them? Fats do dogs are like carbs to us it's there main enegy source.... if you feed meat with a nice bit of fat in that's usually bang on. However there are benefits to feeding lard with dogs ie if your feeding rabbit or any other kind of lean meat you need to be adding lard as a rule of thumb. Lard is also beneficial to dogs prone to cramping and dogs that are in poor conditin and/or underweight ATB Quote Link to post

Fats are burned for fuel a rest, as the activity builds up more glucose is used.

It seems from reading this that it's the fatty stuff that's good for them? Fat is better for dogs than carbs and it's usually free from butchers. Just like bone being better than calcium supplements really. If you have to feed dry foods try to add some fatty scraps from the butcher a couple of times a week and a little raw bone. The best type of bone is soft bone that they can chew up and eat, like chicken necks, lamb ribs or lamb breasts. 1 Quote Link to post
