Food

The Billy is a dog who expends himself , especially during the hunting season if he is used for that. Thus, his diet must compensate for his energy loss. It needs protein , fat and fiber. Fish oil is a preferred fat. Do not hesitate to give him a vitamin E supplement with dairy products, cereals or eggs.

In pet stores or in specialized stores, high-energy foods are on sale that will meet Billy’s protein needs. Outside of hunting periods, it is simply necessary to reduce the proportion of proteins and fats and thus return to a balanced diet .
