  1. 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...

    ya i thought a dog got there energy from fat also, if so what should i be feeding him to get energy

  2. Likes been said a good rub down,

     

    And a good meal, Then into there beds for a good kip,

     

    I did use too give them a cup of tea with a sugar and a pinch of salt and a doulp of honey in it, One of the old times told me to do it so i gave it a go last season, But i anit done it for a good while now and the dogs dont seem any diffrent with out it so i anit done it since,

    tanx guy, what does brown bread do

  3. if its good lean mince there would be 7grams of protein per ounce, the dryer the meat = less water and more protein, so chicken and turkey are dry meats so have more protein than red meat, there would be about 112 grams of protein in a pound of top cut lean mince. ;)

    yes i no wat u mean but what im trying to figure out is wel say in gain 28 its 28 percent protein so when i give my lurcher a bowl of it to suit his weight his getting 28 percent so if i give him wel say 2lb mince wud he be getting 28 percent of protein or what amount thats the way im trying to work it

  4. on average its about 7grams protein per ounce beef.depending what part of the cow...

    its just dat im giving lurcher gain 28 and wanted to give mince raw and didnt no if i wud be giving too much protein or what do u think i should feed him the mince twice a week or what dont get much exercise except whin i lamp him once a week and then he gets a fair share of it tnx mate

  5. The jury still seems to be out on the problems or not of high protein diets, though there is antidotal evidence of some behavioral difficulties. In theory as the kidneys have to filter out the waste products and excess protein is a waste product there is a possibility that there could be longer term damage.

    tnx guys

  7. was going to use gain record breaker for my lurcher then i was told if i wasnt hunting the dog alot it would get kidney problems, wel u see when i get the chance il lamp him it could be twice a week some weeks and then again i might not get the chance to hunt him at all some week so mabie it wud be bad for him , so im thinking of useing gain 28 and when im hunting him i could add meat to this but can anyone tell me a list of meats i can use with this nut dont have to be mixed with it can give at differant times if hav too

  8. Right: the problem is that if you mix meat and a complete food not only are you upping the protein content considerably, but meat and dry food take different lengths of time to digest. In some dogs this may not actually be a problem but in many dogs it does give them diarrhoea, which of course means that the dog is not getting the best from either type of food as it is being wooshed through the gut too fast.

     

    If you want to feed both then feed at different meals and wait 12 hours before feeding a different type of food. I know some people who do this and they are very happy with the results. I prefer not to feed dry unless in a complete emergency and I've run out of meat etc, but in the past I did feed complete and meat, though not at the same meal.

     

    The trouble is with a lot of cheaper complete foods is that they are bulked out with wheat, sugar beet pulp, soya etc: any of which can give a dog problems as they are not natural foods for a dog. If you feed a top quality complete food where the first ingredient on the bag is listed as meat, then you won't need to feed meat as well except if you want to, and in the manner I've already described.

     

    Hope this helps
