The diet, which I will detail, is one I and a large number of trainers have used in the past 10 years. It provides a range of nutrients, which satisfy the demands of most greyhounds. Occasionally a greyhound may require larger quantities of nutrients eg Proteins, vitamins and minerals to maintain peak health and fitness and these greyhounds can be detected by sub-optimal blood counts when on the standard diet. They can often be remedied by increasing the intake of the necessary ingredients. The morning meal is given to provide the dog with some roughage fibre and liquids, plus electrolytes, to guard against dehydration in the warmer daylight hours.

Most greyhounds drink very little water and it is necessary to force feed water in this way in the warmer climates.

Fresh water should be left with the greyhound at all times. The above amounts of meat and kibble are designed as a guide. Some greyhounds will require larger amounts while others will hold their weight on less. The meat you feed your greyhound can be beef, buffalo, horse or kangaroo meat, however it should have a fat content of approximately 10 percent.

If the meat you feed is completely lean, then you would have to add 2 ozs of fat eg Suet or lard to each 1 lb 2 ozs of meat. Greyhounds on a fat free diet suffer from a dull dry coat, flaky skin and are more prone to dehydration. The fat content is particularly critical in early winter when the first cold snap causes the dog to shiver to create body heat to keep warm and in doing so it can lose 0. While the meat you feed is primarily a source of protein, the kibble and vegetables are fed for their carbohydrate and fibre content as well as the natural vitamins and minerals contained in the vegetables.

The amount you feed is dependent on the size of the greyhound and the amount of work it is doing. Carbohydrates are burnt to provide energy for the greyhound so the greater the work load the greater the energy food your dog requires.

Conversely if your greyhound is overweight fat you either work the dog harder to burn up its fat reserves be careful if the dog is excessively overweight or it may break down or you reduce his energy food kibble intake. You do not have to reduce the amount of meat you are feeding. Also to reduce weight you should eliminate honey, glucose and milk from the diet Mineral and vitamin supplements are important for optimal performance and yeast is a valuable source of these in a natural form.

Calcium is an essential additive on a meat diet for the adult as well as the young greyhound. A deficiency in these minerals can cause cramping. Finally no evening meal is complete without the heartworm tablet for dogs on this medication since six weeks of age or those adult dogs, which have been tested as negative. Liver, chicken and fish in ozs amounts can be exchanged for the same weight of meat in the evening meal. This will add some variety to the diet as well as being an alternative source of protein.

In conclusion, I would like to say that although it is possible to win races on abattoir mince and dry bread if the greyhound is good enough, that same greyhound, as a canine athlete, will race much better, more consistently and for longer on a balanced diet prepared from good quality ingredients. Contact them through graq graq. You know, I look at all the replys agree with most, but you can tell when a dog needs freshning up,his coat might look a bit dull,there was no reason for his poor performance, injuries,blood,acidity etc.

The old trainers used put these dogs in a small sunny run with a warm kennel. Put them back into the racing kennels,following normal training for the week. Then produce them to race within the next 5 days, bingo, I have lost count on whow many times this produced a winner. Can you send this book to N. Ireland and how much would this cost in sterling and post. Ireland and how much would this cost in sterling for the book and post Where do I send the payment to. I am interested to know what everyones' views are on walking to help get a dog fit.

I am new to the game and am very keen to do the best I can by my dogs. Some trainers I speak to say they never walk their dogs, just put them in the galloping runs, some walk 5 or 6 kms morning and night and give them a run up a three or four hundred metre straight a couple of times a week, some trial or race once a week, some twice a week, some walk in the morning, gallop every afternoon
