Peak performance on Day Two: feed your dog strategically

Scott Linden Upland Nation

Carbon Score: 8.5

In the first 20 days of this season, my wirehair Flick had already hunted over 200 miles. He still scratches the RV door every morning, eager for another day of chukar chasing and quail quests. I manage to keep up (mostly) with coffee and pain reliever. Flick, on the other paw, gets his stamina from Dr. Tim’s dog food. If your dog hunts multiple days in a row, it might be worth a look at how important food is to his performance. I asked Doctor Tim Hunt to share his thoughts on that, but first, a hunting story.
