Just joined, can't believe I missed this site! Got the article and another looks great.

Now I just need the motivation to get on and do the assignment, and get my brain in gear!

www.ivis.org

It has a library bit and search bit to access papers written by people from all over the world. You can read proceedings form lots of different congresses from all of the world.

Anyone from the veterinary world can sign up for free- they push for a donation tho.

It's been a huge help with my behaviour course.

There is a fab article on the role of fat in canine athletes, its about how many calories and what type of fat they need, its got a good bit on the role of saturated fats on scent and muscle cramps etc. It has a good diet recipe for working dogs using salmon oil as main fat source.

I've no idea how to do a link- but if u log in to the IVIS website and search for dog nose scent it brings it up.

Hope this helps!
