Hunting season has been slow so far, but that’s okay. We added a third kid to the mix this summer, and with a 7 year old and 4 year old already, it has been a challenge to find a minute to get in the woods. In a day and age where everyone seems to want to show off how extreme they are, it can feel like you’re not keeping up if you don’t have your dog in the woods 8 days a week and twice on Sunday. There’s more important things in life, though, like Jesus and family. So for now, we’re taking shorter and slower trips and just enjoying time together in the woods.

Supplements?

Recently, I’ve noticed a push of supplements specifically marketed to the hound community.

Does your dog really need a supplement? If you’re feeding a high quality, complete and balanced commercial diet, probably not.

Remember, guys, that these are companies trying to make money. That doesn’t mean they’re lying to you or have bad intentions - just that they’re not trying to do you a favor for nothing in return.

Some ingredients often included in supplements have good evidence supporting their use. Others have none. If the claim sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Your veterinarian is a good source of information about supplement ingredients. Don’t ask about the brand - your vet hears 100 brand names a week and can’t keep track of them all. Rather, bring the bottle (or download the label offline) and let them take a look. Most supplements are the same ingredients used by many different companies and those will be more recognizable.

I personally don’t use supplements in my own dogs. I feed the best quality food I can and see no advantage to adding to it.

There are a lot of rumors online concerning Purina food right now. Check your sources before trusting them. If there turns out to be solid evidence or a recall, I’ll follow up with it here as well, but so far, there is not.
