We're planning a backpacking trip for the summer. It'll probably be four days long or so.
My concern with food is that the dogs will have to carry most of their own supplies in packs. I don't see a problem with this for Tyler and Ozzie but Kaki eats more than the daily recommended portion for a dog in her weight range(TOTW). Sometimes, she eats more than Ozzie who weighs 50lbs more than her.
So I need to keep weight on her and find a food that is dense with calories/protein/fat. I thought about trying dehydrated raw and/or Ziwi peak for the trip.
What about Orijen? I rotated that into her TOTW recently and there were no issues. Would that be enough for a an active dog with a freakish metabolism venturing out into the wilderness for days on end?
Thoughts?
