What to Feed an Active Dog

Let's talk about the nutritional needs of the active dog. How do nutritional needs change based on type of activity, what makes an "active dog" different from a less active dog (other than just activity!), and what macronutrient compositions should we look for in diets for active dogs - and why! What does the research say about the nutritional needs of canine athletes? Let's discuss it!
