How often do the dogs get fed during a race?
Mushers feed their dogs at least once at every rest stop. Teams typically take at least two rests every day during the Iditarod, and many mushers will feed more than one meal at at least one of those stops. As a result, a dog will eat at least three large meals dry food, meat, fat, and water ever day. Additionally, mushers also give the dogs pieces of meat or fish at intervals along the trail as snacks.
