Nutrition
The nutrition for an English Foxhound must be **high-quality** and adapted to their high activity level. As active and muscular dogs, they require a diet rich in protein to maintain their muscle mass and energy. Puppies, due to their rapid growth, need specific large-breed puppy food. It is essential to divide the daily ration into at least two or three meals to reduce the risk of **gastric torsion**, common in deep-chested breeds. The quantity will depend on their age, weight, exercise level, and metabolism, so consulting with a veterinarian is recommended. Avoiding overfeeding is key to preventing obesity, which can worsen joint problems. Constant access to fresh, clean water is essential.
