Q&A episode
I really enjoyed the Q&A episode. A good mix of information. Thank you for sharing a very personal experience you had with your dogs. That is a good reminder to all dog enthusiasts to be aware of our environment when handling, weather hunting, tracing or just hanging out, with our K-9 friends. Randy

Years ago when I hunted coonhounds in ND, I would float their food. I’ve had a couple dog folks & vets tell me I shouldn’t do that. Nice to know some of the science behind feeding that way while the dogs were being worked. Thanks to you and Dr Lobos for talking about nutrition. Randy
