Red Mills Racer Plus – 15kg High Performance Racing & Breeding Dog Feed

Red Mills Racer Plus – 15kg

Racer Plus is Connolly's Red Mills' high-performance dog feed, and their own description of it is specific about who it is for: pups, saplings, stud dogs, brood bitches and racing dogs in training. It sits at the working end of their range rather than the pet end, and it is sold in 15kg sacks because that is the quantity a kennel gets through.

Red Mills build it on an increased meat content for digestibility, with omega 3 and 6, added vitamins and minerals aimed at stamina and endurance, and chicory fibre for gut health. Those are the manufacturer's claims in full — Red Mills publish no composition or typical analysis for this feed on their own site, so the declaration on the sack is the figure to work from.

Performance & Benefits

• Formulated by Red Mills for dogs in hard work and for breeding stock, not for a pet dog at rest.
• Increased meat content, which Red Mills give as the reason for its digestibility.
• Rich in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
• Enriched with vitamins and minerals, which Red Mills link to endurance and stamina.
• Chicory fibre included for digestion and gut health.
• 15kg sack — the only size Red Mills list for Racer Plus.

Suitable For

• Racing dogs in training and in competition.
• Stud dogs and brood bitches through mating, pregnancy and lactation.
• Pups and saplings coming through into work.
• Kennels feeding several dogs, where a 15kg sack turns over quickly.
• Not the right feed for a lightly exercised pet dog or an older dog taking things easy — a maintenance food such as Red Mills Leader Adult keeps the weight off better.

Feeding

• Introduce over about a week, mixing into the current feed in increasing proportions, as a hard-working dog's gut does not take an abrupt change well.
• Feed to condition and workload, splitting the daily amount across two meals for a racing dog.
• Allow time between feeding and hard exercise.
• Fresh clean water at all times.
• Red Mills publish no feeding rate by bodyweight for Racer Plus; the daily quantities are printed on the sack.

Composition & Analysis

• Red Mills publish no composition and no analytical constituents for Racer Plus on their own website. The declaration printed on the 15kg sack is the source to use.
• Earlier copy on this page gave 27% protein and 15% oil along with a full ingredient list. Those figures cannot be checked against anything Red Mills publish, so they are not repeated here.
• What Red Mills do state: increased meat content, omega 3 and 6, added vitamins and minerals, and chicory fibre.
• Supplied as a 15kg sack.
