An agility dog’s nutritional requirements are going to be a little bit different than a regular dog. They need higher amounts of protein and fat in their diets. They need more protein because they’re feeding their muscles and repairing injuries. They need higher amounts of fat because it’s a more efficient source of energy than carbohydrates.
You want the quality of the fat they’re eating to be good so look for dog foods that have Omega 3 fatty acids which is a healthier source of fat. Don’t add supplements because too much fat can be harmful. A dog food that has a balanced amount should be fine.
Once you start feeding your dog a new food, give it at least 6 weeks to see how well he or she responds to it. You don’t want to be constantly switching back and forth between different kinds of dog food because it can cause stomach upset and it’s also hard to see the benefits of one type of dog food if you’re switching al the time.
Establish a regular meal time and avoid “free feeding”. That’s where you just put a bowl of food out for your dog to eat whenever he feels like it. It’s a lot easier for your dog to overeat this way because you lose track of how much you’ve fed him and when. Your dog also needs to see you as their food provider so letting him see you put the bowl down helps to accomplish this. And you can also track if your dog is not feeling well because you see if he’s eating or not.
Avoid feeding your dog table scraps because they’re usually high in bad fat, salt and simple carbohydrates. Also, when they train, they would be less interested because your treats wouldn’t be as good as the stuff they get from the table.
