What do we feed our agility dogs?

Nicola Rowe is currently studying for a Diploma in Canine Nutrition. As part of her course she's been asked to research the types of feed that are most commonly used for a specific canine discipline – in this case, agility! The more facts and figures she gets the better so please ask all your friends to participate as well. The whole agility community will benefit as Nicki has agreed to share the results with all of us.
