There has to be side effects to cramming multiple supplements down a dogs throat. I hope people aren't sorry a few years down the road. I don't really give my dogs snacks other than a bite of left over chicken or steak. None of that manufactured garbage.

Here is the conclusion of the supplement study on Foxhounds. The results of the present study are interesting; however, due to the study design they are not conclusive. Further work with this supplement in a larger group of dogs using a blinded crossover study design would be ideal to prove that...

I would be interested in reading the studies.

You know the supplements that we put into our bodies are generally a scam and not really monitored by the FDA. Not that I trust the FDA. Placebo effect for the most part. If you really plan out your diet, you will get better results than supplementing with vitamins and minerals. It is the...

Never. But I have not fed a cheap food in the last 40 years. I'm sure some dogs have some type of food allergies but I think generally there is something else effecting the dog. Last year, my 5 year old labrador had some thinning of hair on his tail. He always shed more than most dogs I have...

And here is another stating that dogs do not need electrolytes. Here is a quote: "They don’t need electrolyte drinks, as dogs don’t sweat away electrolytes like we do. Even some canine sports drinks may cause gastrointestinal upset and lead to diarrhea." And here is what the article says on...

I guess my point was that Extreme Dog Fuel, Pro Plan, and throw in Nutrisource if you want are what I would consider mid-range foods. They are all about the same. Inukshuk and Dr. Tims are top tier. Working dogs need a food high in Fat and Protein. The problem with supplements are that you...

Extreme Dog Fuel is 485 Kcal per cup 30/20. Pro Plan 30/20 is 480 Kcal per cup. Inukshuk is 578 Kcal per cup 30/25. Dr. Tims Momentum is 530 Kcal per cup. I have used a ton of different supplements over the years. But Inukshuk has eliminated that need for me. Several years ago I fed Dr...

Very few studies have been done on supplements for dogs. Most of the stuff you read are suggestions and opinions. Here is one of the few and it suggests that supplements may be beneficial. Not that they are. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180508180649.htm The problem with the...

I think humans eat a terrible diet. Processed foods cause a majority of our health problems, along with a lack of exercise, obesity, and a lack of sleep. Some illnesses just can't be overcome or avoided due to genetics but most problems with us come from lifestyle choices.

I wouldn't consider a 9 year old dog a senior by any means. Mine will be 12 and still gets 30/20 Inukshuk. I have just cut back on the amount she gets. She will hunt like always this year with no supplements. I have hunted my dogs when it was 5 below for waterfowl in deep strip pits where...

What food do you use?

A high quality food and water are all that is needed. I take care of my dogs all year so they are ready for hunting season. All the supplements are a waste of time and money. Do yourselves a favor and start feeding Unukshuk

I would always stay out of farmers crops.

And it's still all green out here. Green leaves on the trees. We had a lot of rain and no hard freeze yet. Still looks like summer. I won't be hunting this weekend, I will be mowing grass.
