hahahahaha Feramo, Black Tar, Calcium. Last time I looked into where greyhounds originated There were no Feramo trees, Black tar trees, calcium trees in the wild. Fast dogs are fast its called genetics Most of the vitamins are in the top quality kibbles these days You think the leading trainers with 15 or more dogs feed m Feramo and crap every night lol The old KISS methods the best.When you send a dog to the breaker and he tells you its City class you think he was feeding it Feramo?Genetics Fast well conditioned dogs trained by someone who has a tried and true method will always get results.

I no longer train, but when I was training I learned some things the hard way. My dogs stopped getting heat sores when I stopped feeding Feramo. The less additives the better. Same goes for electrolytes - some are formulated for horses but sold in a bottle with a picture of a greyhound on the label. Many additives do more harm than good. No they don't always just excrete what they don't need - they can put the dog's physiology out of whack. I finally got my best training results feeding beef cheeks, a mid range quality kibble and Calci-D. And Vytrate liquid before and after a run. Oh and a bit of crushed steamed carrot and broccoli each night. And a weekly brisket bone. Nothing else. The dog who had heat sores at age 2 until taken of Feramo, and bouts of acidosis until he was taken off bad electrolytes, won his (and my) first city race at age 3 1/2 when I finally got rid of all the rubbish supplements from his diet and fed what I listed above.

I'm only messing mate. I actually agree they should be getting most from what they eat. Tho I do like to add little extra in few feeds a week.

It's not a breakers job nor responsibility to be adding extras that owners /trainers do ! They don't have the time or paid enough to do this ....their job is hard enough as it is. Rod most dogs come home sore , it's a physically and mentally enduring period ,replenished with only the essentials, meat kibble water ! Hence why they are spelled and freshened up. Trainers have everything at hand , from vitimins to something as simple as coconut water ! Your example of displaying a place that reveals a city dog and how they come to this evaluation "genetics" is poor . Even a breaker himself will say the same thing. You are correct , black tar can be found on a road ! Very good
Tom Jacks black tar in a bottle , is all natural , non harmful or additives! Much like your steam carrots and broccoli , but a wider and more selected variety. Calci d has the wrong ratios which jack has explained many times , if you check your bottle or someone else's coz your retired ,it will be 9/1 where it should be 2/1 , which jacks calci + is ,also Aust made not imported . Electrolytes that you did use can also be replaced by another all natural liquid in coconut water , the best rehydration your racer can receive .

I did my own research before deciding on the products I used. The correct dietary intake of calcium to phosphorus is 1.2 to 1. But meat is high in phosphorus, so the high calcium ratio corrects that - it is fed in proportion to the amount of meat in the diet. Anyway, just telling what worked for me - if it helps some people that's good, if others have different opinions that's fine too - just sharing the facts of my experience. Maybe the problems the dog was having disappeared when I changed his diet just by coincidence and it was nothing to do with the dietary changes.

We race and old dog called Aristotle and he's had 104 36 wins and 35 placings he's a couple of months over 5 and he takes his Black Tar of the spoon ! We use this product because it has give us the results we were after and it's natural. We've been using it for over 5 years now and we have a ongoing order with Jack. We binned all the other products we used and now we keep it simple Black Tar and Calcium Plus and good quality beef and kibble !
