While she was a little heavy when we adopted her last August, she's now a lean running machine (I'm jealous!). Our dog is fed a high quality dry food, but I'm wondering if that is enough. Together we log up to 40K a week, and being a dog breed that is prone to hip and joint problems, I want to do all I can to keep her injury-free.
When I asked my Facebook pals, I was surprised to learn that most of them who also log a lot of miles with their dogs feed them a lot of raw meat and table scraps. Granted, the scraps these pups get are NOT burgers, fries and other junk food, but fresh fish and veggies.
What extras - if any - do you feed your dog?

We run with our German Shorthaired Pointer and she is almost 3. Most weeks she runs 25-30 miles. When she started getting a little skinny last spring, we began to feed her an egg every day. It stimulates her appetite which is good because she isn't much of an eater. Her coat is also very silky. She doesn't get many table scraps other than a little fruit.
