Dumb Question, But I Don’t Know The Answer! Dog Nutrition?
February 9th, 2010 by Your-Virtual-Groomer
Do high energy foods, such as Royal Canin Energy 4800 and Nutro Natural Choice High Energy, give dogs more energy or do they just help high energy dogs maintain weight? I have a lab/golden mix who is in training for Search and Rescue, and she is extremely energetic (which is great!). I am wondering whether switching her to a high energy food will be of benefit to her,

First thing no question is dumb!
I think this is what Mr. buys our dogs…. We have several BIG dogs then the other two are high energy dogs. He says he has to to keep weight on them.
I am not the dog food buyer lol! And we go through a lot of dog food!
“we do not have any dog food, oh go to there house they will give you some” get this one at times…..lol I will give out dog food in emergancies…
“High energy” foods contain more protein than regular dog food. If your dog is maintaining a healthy weight on regular dog food, then I would recommend remaining on the current diet. It will not provide additional energy, just help maintain weight burned off by the energy she uses. If you are in doubt on whether to switch to a high-energy food, you might speak with the trainers for the search and rescue team for their advice.
