Rates of Feeding:
Race Dogs: RED MILLS Xcel is a complete racing diet and requires only the
addition of water (unless under veterinary advice). For racing dogs use RED
MILLS Xcel with RED MILLS Racer for approximately 5 days before an event. Feed
30-40% of the feed as RED MILLS Xcel and the remainder of the feed as RED MILLS
Racer. If using RED MILLS Xcel on its own feed 0.13ozs. per pound bodyweight per
day (8gms per kg bodyweight per day). Reduce the proportion of RED MILLS Xcel
after the event. Do not use meat with RED MILLS Xcel. RED MILLS Xcel contains
very high concentrated energy and protein.
Brood Bitches: Feed at levels as suggested for Race Dogs above the first weeks
of pregnancy. RED MILLS Xcel may be used solely for the last 4 weeks of
pregnancy and while the bitch is lactating.
Pups: Feed pups 3-4 weeks of age approximately. RED MILLS Xcel soaked in warm
water and mashed to the consistency of porridge can be fed. Allow pups as much
feed as they will eat within reason. At approximately 7-8 weeks of age, pups
will eat dry RED MILLS Xcel and should be allowed free access ad lib to RED
MILLS Xcel (within reason) and plenty of fresh water.
Saplings: RED MILLS Xcel is unsuitable for saplings as excessive protein is a
common cause of skin irritations and aggression between young dogs. As a
guideline use a 50:50 combination of RED MILLS Racer and RED MILLS Tracker
during this period.

Rates of Feeding:
Race Dogs: RED MILLS Tracker can be fed as a complete dog feed for racing if
supplemented with high quality meat or fish and water (unless under veterinary
advice). If using RED MILLS Tracker on its own feed 0.30ozs per pound bodyweight
per day (19gms per kg bodyweight per day). RED MILLS Tracker contains a greater
proportion of carbohydrate than higher protein and energy dog foods and
therefore will balance up the high protein and fat levels if you supplement with
meat or fish.
Brood Bitches & Pups: RED MILLS Tracker contains an inadequate level of protein
and energy for breeding. RED MILLS Racer which contains 27% protein and 10% Oil
is recommended. RED MILLS Xcel is also suitable once care is taken to follow the
feeding instructions on the bag.
Saplings: RED MILLS Tracker is ideal for saplings, as it does not contain
excessive protein that is a common cause of skin irritations and aggression
between young dogs.
