hi yads hows you mate, Andre has been spotted chasing springboks with his wifes rolling pin lmao
i always would feed a percentage of the meat raw and increase that percentage has and when looking to increase performance i.e. step up the gas during a competition or was looking for a big performance. Id say 18/20% protein for the nuts/kibble would be the ones id recommend.
yads your spot on mate has always imo they need their meat, just to add i think its quite dangerous when trainers add meat to high protein base of nuts/kibble better not to add any buffering agents in the blood cant break it down imho, i would never feed just nuts/kibble but hey if it works for you thats great we are all differant and use differant methods.
Andre i must confess never heard of that there is an alsation on the front of the bag id be very afraid (only kidding mate) if your getting the results and you feel its the business i will take your word for it mate and trust your judgement, im not really in a position to comment to either praise or criticise it because ive never used it.
all the best
mick

Mick, I think, like you, that each to his own. Whatever works for you is what you should do. One thing that I have noted here and I am sure it is the same all over the world is that the trainer who works with a consistent plan, even if it's a crappy plan, always do better than the one with no consistent plan.

Jack:I can remember lots of trainers having Kidney problems with their dogs after a few years of dry foods (Eukanuba) mainly. Still seems the way they feed o/seas! My top 4 in order Horse, Beef, Roo, Chicken. this will stir them up!

Hi terry nothing with a bit of horse or roo, you will need to add 10% /12% fat as both are very lean.

Sodium Citrate is for Horses The make up of Human and Canine Electrolyte is high Potassium low Sodium Equine is high Sodium low Potassiun This is due to Horses grazing on pasture where salt levels in the soil is high Sodium products were designed for Horses and adopted by Greyhound Trainers Always look for Potassium based Diuretics and electrolyte for Dogs Salt based products will cause dogs to drink excess amounts of water which in turn will flush electrolyte and leave dogs susceptible to cramping

Peter ,there was a very popular product that had a lot of sodium citrate that caused kidney damage and adrenal issues. I cant understand your post are you saying sodium citrate is not in a greyhound product.?
Do you have questions regarding the health of your greyhound? Do you need tips what you should feed your dog?
