What is the purpose of fasting and what are the benefits? Also, winter months? Do you do it in the winter or play it by ear depending on the severity of the weather?
Thanks

It depends upon your winter.

You're in TX or OK, if I remember right, so I don't think your winters are as bad as mine were in TN.

I think fasting is good for cleaning a dog out and getting a "best weight." It is also good for their health IMO. Wolves and coyotes fast all the time, even in the winter, until they get their next meal.

Also, giving a shank bone really isn't true fasting, because the dogs are eating meat/fat/bone/marrow whilst cleaning their teeth. In fact, they basically spend the whole day eating fat/meat/bone and cleaning their teeth in the process.
