skycat 6,174 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Feed her some real food: meat, fat and bone: maybe add extra carbs in the form of porridge oats or brown bread. Feed real fat: lamb or beef fat: that provides energy fast for dogs. Cereal based foods are OK for some dogs that don't burn it off fast, but IMO you can't beat a raw diet and the dog doesn't need to eat as much in terms of weight or quantity to retain condition. I've sent you a pm. Edited to add: I haven't sent you a pm after all as it says you can't use the messaging system: don't know what that is all about! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Brown bread is mainly carbs: carbs will put weight on some dogs and Saluki types generally tend to do better if they are getting more carbs than say a sprint type of dog, but that is only a generalisation. Protein and fat from animal source is best for maintaining all round condition when dog is working hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
