In this episode the hosts sit down with accomplished musher, veterinarian and lettered animal nutritionist Dr. Arleigh J. Reynolds in an informative talk about feeding and conditioning the canine athlete for optimum nutrition and performance. Reynolds believes that working hounds most closely resemble sled dogs in terms of the levels of work they are called upon to do. He is a two-time Fur Rendezvous Open World Sled Dog Race Champion and Open North American champion. Reynolds shares a wealth of knowledge on topics such as how to determine your dog’s body condition score, how to properly hydrate dogs for optimum performance and what to feed the performance dog year-round for best results. This is a must-listen episode for anyone desiring to provide optimum nutrition for their hounds and desiring to achieve superior performance no matter the work the dog is called upon to do.
