Hunting Dog Food: Which Is Best?
The hunting dog is a true sportsman: genetics and training certainly help, but food gives an extra boost. In fact, to grow and stay healthy and active, hunting dogs need a healthy and above all balanced diet. An example? Aldog 111/A® Premium Quality kibble, complete and from a traceable Italian supply chain, is among the best foods for hunting dogs.
The essential characteristic of food for hunting dogs is that it is highly energetic and that it contains all the nutritional elements in the correct proportions , such as proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
The best hunting dog food is rich in meat
A dog's daily diet is composed of 20% animal proteins ; this percentage also increases to 30%-32% in the case of hunting dogs because physical activity requires a greater energy intake and, consequently, specific foods.
The best food for hunting dogs, therefore, contains more meat than normal commercial kibble both because it gives animals a higher calorie intake, but with a smaller quantity of food, and because the meat helps to rebuild muscle tissue that can be damaged due to microtraumas during physical activity.
Other important sources of energy are the crude proteins contained in corn and the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6
Of course, this is a general discussion, because depending on the specific needs, even the food for hunting dogs can vary. For example, in the case of extreme activities at very low temperatures, the diet of hunting dogs must be integrated with many calories from meat and fat; in the case of competitions, such as national hunting and research championships, it is necessary to consider the stress of travel that sometimes causes diarrhea or weight loss.
