Permalink  
 


Hey i was told that adding proteins/fats to my girls diet will help with muscle growth...was just wondering what types of food should i add to her diet to accomplish this and get the best results...i have been literally walking her to work with me everyday which takes about an hour and when im not working going to the park and sprinting with her for about and hour to hour n half...so she is getting her share of a workout i think...oh and thanks guys i really appreciate everyones input on all my post its really helping me out and im learning tons biggrin

I like High fat foods because fat quickly burns off for energy which will helps the body use more protein to create thicker denser muscle. What food you use would depend on age and activity, unless you go raw which is the best food to optimize your dog at any age. The best thing to do is keep is simple, if it would help you gain muscle then it would probably help the dog too , meaning more calories and protein in will give her everything she needs to make those workouts count. I have fed Evo, Canidae, Wellness CORE, TOTW, Dick Van Pattens etc but right now I feed Health Extension which I am really liking

After looking at how much you work her you should probably look into adding peanut or almond butter(as long as she isn't allergic) which will really make a difference in how dense and thick she looks, because the muscle has gotta be there already. I also think your dog is one of a few that could get the maximum benefit out of Really high protein foods like Evo, Orijen, or Native...she may not look , thick and muscled up because of how much cardio she puts in. Try giving her days off which will help promote growth and recovery. It's like wondering why a 1000M runner is so much leaner and lighter than a Sprinter...they are both probably at peak conditioning but they have different needs from their muscles which is why they are different sizes.

Another good product is 'Born 2 Be Wild'...inexpensive and it's gonna be a nice fat additive to your dogs diet. Loved the coats with this product too
