Regardless of your species, performance athletes require amazing REAL food to sustain their energy.  On our winter vacation to Montana, our family had an adventure of a lifetime – we went dog sledding outside of Whitefish.  The dogs were amazing athletes and ate an incredible diet.

Dog Sled Adventures was an awesome operation, filled with 121 dogs (plus lots of barking and loads of yellow snow.)  The animals are very well cared for, getting lots of attention from the staff and all of the guests.

Of course, I was curious about the diet that the dogs are fed.  Underneath a shed is a 50 gallon drum, filled with “meat soup” which they brew all day, every day.  The soup contained random meat bits (complete with horse, cow, chicken and fish parts), and provided the dogs with a protein boost while keeping them hydrated at the same time.  Jeff, the owner, also brings in 48,000 (yes, 48 thousand!) pounds of fish and chicken every 6 months for the dogs.

Real food for real athletes.

Lucky dogs!
