Hi all! My boy Dexter is almost a year old now (10 months) and about 32kg! Besides taking him on short walks during his toilet breaks, some light jogging, and to our local dog park 3-4 times a week, I've been wondering how I might build his speed and endurance. He absolutely loves running, loves chasing/being chased, is generally a trouble-maker and a schoolyard bully, but still gets easily caught by other retired greys & whippets! I was looking into maybe a vest with very light weights or a parachute for some resistance training but based on what I'm reading it may be too much for his still-growing joints. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome! Here's a few pics of him flexing and clip of him going after a ball

Haha, they're the v3 iteration of the HunnyBoots: HunnyBoots.com – HunnyBoots Australia He hates them but didn't have any problems walking in them straight away! I'll only put them on for long/trail walks and on hot days as it gets pretty warm here. Thanks! I've got him on Blackhawk puppy kibble (same since I've had him) but struggling to get the 2 cups down - I think he's a bit bored of the taste because I tried another kibble and he gobbled that up. Only problem is I bought a huge bag of the Blackhawk so whether he likes it or not, he's going to eat it! I'll give the pasta a go. Hopefully all that extra carb won't give him surges of energy at the wrong times...

Hi all! Hoping to get some advice on diet for Dexter, my 7 month old male pup. He currently weighs around 30kg and I thought we might be giving him a little too much food but he still seems to be on the skinny side - can see more than 2 ribs when he's standing. Poops also seem normal. Info about how to feed grey pups are rare online! We're currently feeding him daily: Breakfast & Dinner 260g Beef & Lamb meat disk (50% beef, 30% lamb, 10% liver, 10% crushed bone) or Beef, Heart & Liver meat disk (80% beef, 10% heart, 5% liver, 5% kidney) - cooked with half a cup of frozen veggies, water and beef bone broth with a tablespoon of mashed pumpkin before serving 1 cup of kibble 1 teaspoon of omega oils once a day only Lunchtime 1 whole turkey neck (approx. 270g) 1 boiled egg Activity-wise, he gets a few short walks daily since we live in an apartment complex and a good off-lead run daily for an hour (weather permitting) but otherwise spends the rest of the time taking up the whole couch. Writing this all down it seems like his meals are significantly better than mine... Any feedback or advice on the macro values I should be targeting would be very welcome! Here's a few snaps taken on his recent adventure!
