Feed twice a day during keep

[trajan337]

Has anyone heard of feeding a twice a day during a keep? If so can you elaborate or explain reasons for not doing so?

[R2L]

i would like to hear a good reason to do so instead.

you train at the time of a show and feed afterwards.

[trajan337]

Yes, I understand that aspect of it. However it is possible to absorb more nutrients in small amounts. Your timing would have to be right also as undigested feed can lead to complications.

If u work twice a day then u feed twice a day. For instance our morning work is simple not to physical n they get a light feeding n the evening they get on the grind n get another feeding only this time it's much more of a feeding

I don't recommend feeding solid food twice daily, as it is hard to get a dog empty if you do.

However, my keep does have a "morning meal" which consists of 1 cup Pedialyte, with Bee Pollen and other supplements, including oils. Bee Pollen is a complete food and amino acid profile, but it is powdered and easily-assimilated by the evening workout.

The evening meal is the solid meal, given after the workout.

O"Stevens keep consisted of 2 workouts a day. And he fed once a day after the 2nd workout! :?

Jack's morning liquid meal is a great tool. Electrolytes or water / Bee Pollen / Fat Bonbon/ Brewer's yeast/Oils. It will help any dog to keep working hard and to avoid any dehydration. The solid meal is given at show time when the dog has cooled down after his workout. I do believe that a dog has to work with an empty belly but with fuel in the tank nevertheless

If I plan on working a dog I give bee pollen, oil, fruits and veggies a few hours before the work out. I've seen a big difference in the energy level.
