When racing, the dogs eat a snack every two hours. A snack is usually ¼ pound of beef, chicken or salmon. This is a little bit bigger than the size of a hamburger or chicken sandwich from McDonalds, and without the bun! The dogs eat bigger meals whenever we are resting. We can’t feed them big meals when they are running because they can get really bad stomach aches and get very sick. On a six hour rest the dogs will eat two times. When the rests are longer the dogs can eat more meals and snacks. They love all kinds of food, but their favorite thing is frozen salmon!
