mushroom 13,576 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I get all the fat I want free off the butchers plus offcuts, waste etc. It's an Arab butcher who as soon as he found out Bron had saluki in him started to treat him everytime with a chunk of beef or some other morsel. The dog fuuckin loves going to buy meat for some reason 2 Quote Link to post

Simplest way to increase fat and cheap is lard. Every month I buy about 8 blocks of fat, to add in to feed if the meat Iv feeding is low in fat.Recently got my hands on piles of fatty lamb cuts etc so with that I won't add lard. Iv fallen for the trap before of adding carbs and never noticed any difference, suppose everyone tries it just "to see" , placebo effect ALOT of the time with owners. Sure cars increase chance of bloat, dehydration and over heating. Not to mention dull coats n decreases stamina. 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I've been using blocks of lard for a while now, plus fatty lamb off cuts from the butcher and plenty of oils which are very high in fat. Makes up around 25% of my dogs calories. Quote Link to post

Merlin21 143 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Fat and carbs as far i know are both chains of sugars , both do the same thing provide energy .. but dogs have evolved to eat protein and fat so no great surprise really ... Quote Link to post
Truther 1,579 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 If there's a good test of a dogs capabilities its got to be pulling a sledge, i doubt any other dog ever comes close? And in very low temperatures, these people know the distances, weights, and they're measuring oxygen take up/ carbon dioxide production.............Its got to be a bit daft to ignore what they're saying at best? I'm adding a bit of lard to the meat/biscuit, started a few weeks back, i can see a difference. Quote Link to post

Hamish.J.Cronan 13 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I remember giving my last dog a salmon head, he didn't know what to do with it at first but soon polished it off once he got into it, his coat looked and felt beautiful afterwards. There was a dog food from canada called Origen, i think, that was a dried food with high protein and no carbs, it was a bit pricey but i felt like it was a good alternative if i didn't have any meat for him, he didn't used to like it all that much tho, can't blame him really, bit boring those brown blogs of dry-ness Quote Link to post
