Sporting dogs belong to a large group of dogs that perform a specific job for a man. The type of performed work can be divided according to its frequency, intensity and duration. The aim of the study was to characterize the nutrition of sporting dogs, focusing on energy requirement and demand for energy-providing nutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates). Proper nutrition is one of the most important factors affecting the dog's athletic performance. The objective of proper nutrition for training dogs is to provide the highest quality of energy in appropriate amount. Food balance is achieved when the supplied nutrients enable the body to maintain the proper functioning of all tissues and none of the ingredients are in excess or deficiency.
