I feed Pro Plan Performance. I used to feed Eukanuba but got tired of the recalls.

Purina Pro Plan Performance during the season and PPP Savor the rest of the year. While hunting I give a can of sardines in oil to each dog fed at night after an hour of no activity and immediately after the hunt a supplement called Glyco-charge. Both labs are about 11 years old and just came back from 5 days of chasing ducks and roosters in SD. They held up very well and showed no worse for wear and tear. Labs are just tough.

My 5 year old setter eats 1x/day in evening, 1/2 can Purina Focus (wet) mixed with 1 full cup Purina Sport Performance 30/20. During hunting season he'll get an extra 1/2 to 1 cup of dry at meal time. Never feed my dog in morning of a hunt or during field trial training.

For those that feed their dogs grain free you may want to read this article - https://todaysveterinarypractice.com...l%20PLOS%20ONE.

Recent article on feeding your working Dog....

https://www.gundogmag.com/editorial/...un-dogs/377392

My Vet also says the recent grain free trend is mostly BS.....

Working Dogs run on extra fat when they are ground pounding....The sled Dog people figured this out a long time ago....

Addition: During hunting season it is extra: raw eggs, olive oil, cheese, peanut butter, regular butter...Mine has no problem with milk, so often that gets added for protein and fat....If I could get that salmon fish slurry the sled people use, I would be on it...

I think a lot of times our Dogs come in and are more interested in rest than eating...Make the evening meal more than enough and irresistible....Kibble and a little water doesn't cut it....

Great forum...unfortunately Brad “post holed” me..

Well moderated to an extreme..I lost it when a member accused a sporting clay shooter I know of cheating. You couldn’t make this individual cheat.

I go there often to look...well worth ones time..and some of the Dog pics are extremely well done. Those boys love their Foxes.

Addition: I would love to pick Greg Hartman’s mind on cameras....his pics are spectacular..

And yes, Irish Whistler also posts amazing pics.
