Looking for ideas. We have two dogs going to North Dakota for an pheasant/upland bird hunt in a couple of weeks. The dogs are going to be used for about 8 days straight, with 6 guys hunting over the dogs. The last time we went, we gave the dogs maltodextrin at the end of each day (within 10 minutes of getting back to the truck). It worked great and they seemed to recover quickly and did well throughout the hunt. We also used the Purina Pro Plan "power bars" throughout the day. I've been told that Purina quit making these power bars, and am looking for something similar as a replacement. We're looking at doing the maltodextrin again, or possibly using glycocharge instead. Figure mushers know a little bit about endurance, any advice or recommendations. Both dogs are in good shape, but thats a lot of days to hunt without rest.
I already got the "get more dogs out there" recommendation, but at this point, not possible.
