Your Dog Is What He Eats
By Monica Segal
The focus on nutrition for human athletes has been ongoing for many years. Canine athletes have also had the benefit of nutrition science, but results have been debatable. For example, carbohydrates have been deemed both good and bad, depending on who you ask. The argument that lactic acid causes problems continues. Using dietary fat as the primary source of energy is discussed and debated. The best way to keep a dog hydrated and in top shape throughout competition has brought designer waters to market. These examples are just a few of the ongoing concerns and interesting discussions owners of competition dogs bring to the table.
