Feedind and Exercise

Hope this is in the right place

How long after exercise do you leave till you feed your dogs?

We're going to a meet with lots of dogs on saturday so Boris will be charging round for a couple of hours. Because of his low glucose levels I have to make sure he gets enough fuel in him. Ordinarily I just wouldn't feed him till the evening, but I haven't got a choice so will have to feed him before and after.

I'm going to feed him about 7am, we'll set off about 9.30 and the meet is 11am. The walk usually lasts about 2 hours. I'm going to take some honey to give him after the walk just to give him a bit of a boost but then I'll need to get some carbs down him.

The drive home is about 1 1/4 hours + he usually sleeps all the way home. So do you think him resting for about 1 1/2 hours after all that charging about is enough time to then be able to feed him? I've never really had to plan like this before

Thank you xxx

Two hours is plenty, Tracey, and I'd leave him to settle for half an hour or so once you get back in.

Why not take a couple of things with you just to boost his energy levels? Some carrot or fruit might do the trick.

Agree with Caryll sounds like the timeline will work. Nothing wrong with having snacks on hand as well just in case

Hope you have a good time - I'll catch up with the pics - there had better be loads!!!!

Thanks both xxx

I wouldn't dare come back with no piccies Caryll lol xx
