Is there any general guidance on when/whether to feed dogs whilst out walking or running?
Our dog normally gets fed around 9am and 5pm and I always wait a few hours at least between food and exercise. He’s gradually building up his distance (as am I).
We’ve been walk-running together more recently, up to about 10 miles, going at a pretty slow pace, stopping to look at boulders etc. He seems fine over that distance and doesn’t seem to need food, but I’d not really thought about when (or if) he might start needing me to take some with me.
My assumption is that he’ll be fine as long as he gets plenty of water and some treats for any kind of distance I’m realistically going to do (up to 15 miles maybe) but I thought I would check to see what others do.
It’s largely off road, off lead running so he’ll be going way further than me.
