Steve,
What are your thoughts on giving dogs vitamins, and or supplements? I have an almost two year old Shorthair who is a stud of a dog. No fat, alot of lean muscle. He runs 3-4 days a week with my wife in the am, and then trains with me with the dummy or out in the field. Come hunting season I wont have her take him running as much because he’ll be in the field with me. Just wanted to get your thoughts.
Thanks,
R B

RB,
Thanks for contacting Gun Dog Supply. As a general rule, I don’t
recommend vitamins.
If you are feeding a high quality, performance dog food, you should
not need to add anything.
The biggest thing to do is increase his amount of food based on the
weather and his activity level. My dogs get about double the food
during hunting season than they get in the off season.
I slowly lower the amount of food at the end of the season as the weather
starts to warm up.
The most important thing is how he looks. I like to look over my dogs at least once a week and see where they are condition wise. We make adjustments along the way.
Thanks,
Steve Snell
