i run my dogs about 1-1/12 miles a day.. i feed them about 1 hr before, i was wondering if i should wait til after the run. if so how long after?.. thank u
ok, thank u, 1 hour after a workout sounds goodIf you feed twice a day- once in the morning and once after your dog is completely cooled down from working out. Usually 30-60 mins. Don't feed right before, as others have mentioned bloat.
I personally do it about 30-40 mins. Once the breathing calms down. You will know. Don't go to long forcing the body to go into a catabolic state.ok, thank u, 1 hour after a workout sounds good
:goodpost: I would wait at least an hour and make sure after your run you let the dog cool down and offer only a little bit of water then coll down completely before letting them drink as much as they want. Letting them gorge on water right after a run can cause bloat so wait till they cool down.If you feed twice a day- once in the morning and once after your dog is completely cooled down from working out.

Agree. On harder days or hotter days, I take the water away after a few gulps. I give it back about 30-40 mins later. Now that I think of it- I usually feed just under an hour.:goodpost: I would wait at least an hour and make sure after your run you let the dog cool down and offer only a little bit of water then coll down completely before letting them drink as much as they want.

cheers mateOnly offer a good kibble twice a day, if he does not eat what you put down in a few minutes then pick up the food and try again at night. This may go on for several days DO NOT GIVE IN, when he is hungry enough he will eat when you offer food. I have had dogs take up to 7 days before deciding to eat, after that they pretty much eat when you put the food down. Dogs are not dumb they will eat when they get hungry enough. Free feeding is not good.
