[en] Canicross is currently a popular sport defined by a human-animal teamwork in a cross-country run. While a lot of studies are available on nutritional requirements for sprint and endurance race dogs, data for the canicross dogs are scarce. Each owner has his own feeding and training practices but no nutritional guidelines are available. The aim of this study was to collect data on handlers’ practices.
