An excerpt from the Iditarod Dog Care Manual: “Feeding Returned Dogs Mealtimes for Returned Dogs in Hubs are scheduled for 08:00 and 20:00 hours with snacks given at 12:00 and 16:00. Scheduled feeding times for the small checkpoints are at 08:00, 16:00 and 24:00 hours. Returned Dogs are also offered a snack following their initial check in by the veterinarian(s), to assess appetites.”
Thank you for finding this. It never occurred to me to check the Vet Center.
Also, in my next life, I’m coming back as a returned dog. #allthesnacks
