Chaff 3,622 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just a question regarding high protein dry food, got mine on gain 28 at the moment good stuff as far as I can tell, dog happy nice solid crap. How ever I don't have the work for him at the moment for various reasons so only lead walks during the week and off lead at weekends. So he on the high protein diet without a lot of exercise for the next few weeks, will this have an adverse affect on his health. Cheers Quote Link to post

You must have read my mind mate! 50-60 steep hill sprints after a tennis ball gives mine something to think about! 1 Quote Link to post
Chaff 3,622 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thanks lads I can see what your saying, this one off lead just hunts up all the time, and goes on sight or scent he's great on the right land. A pain anywhere else he will chase a ball then keep running to the nearest cover lol Just had our first frost this morning so perhaps the greenery will die back a bit and might be able to do a bit with him.

myersbg 1,385 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 knock him off the high protein until you can get him enough work, too much protein will cause nothing but trouble if they aren't burning it off. 3 Quote Link to post

I’m in a slightly similar situation, having a couple weeks off the lamp with mine. Waiting for the next new moon. He ran shite the last time I took him out, he was lacking something. So I’ve changed the diet round a bit and am going to smash the fitness until we go out again 1 Quote Link to post

j1985 1,984 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I had that a while back, ran out of meat so fed them the gain28 I had. It was like I had a T. rex in the kennels, shits were humongous! I stick to minced chicken or horse meat if I can. 1 Quote Link to post

whitefeet4190 1,729 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Where can we get horse meat? That does make them shit through the eye of a needle until they get used to it, better off mixing it with beef ? Quote Link to post
