However, it uses potato, which is, of course, starch (aka - carbs). If you'd like to continue feeding raw, how about adding some pasta/macaroni/brown rice/potatos/etc.?
Actually, I was thinking that, too. He's really getting enough protein, and, some fat, I probably need to get more fat and some carbs. Maybe carbs the night before an event or something. I know that's what human athletes will do sometimes...I wonder, with the digestive system being faster in dogs, if they'd need the carbs only a few hours prior to an event as opposed to overnight...

The racing dog diet sounds interesting, I will read more about it once I PM you for the ingredients.


Thank you all for the ideas, as soon as I can, I am going to take a day and go to a few stores and really look and compare. I have a list handy that Im compiling from suggestions I'm getting from several sources.

I appreciate all the replies, by the way, thank you! And, I'm sure Finn does, too, because it just means more food for him.
