Why does my dog need these products?

• Dogs that train and compete actively can be regarded as athletes
• These dogs face a lot of physical stress in their daily lives
• In order to succeed you need to ensure the performance and effective recovery of your dog
• Sports drinks for people and horses are not suitable for the use of dogs as the physiology of dogs is so different – for instance, dogs are not sweating as people and horses
• Dogs need products that are developed to their specific needs

Taking care of the rehydration level of the dog

• The body temperature of a dog rises quickly
• Dogs dehydrate at a much quicker rate than humans do because they have sweat glands only on their nose and feet.
• Exercise increases the need for rehydration
• Warm weather increases the possibility for dehydration but it can occur also during winter time!
• In general, a dog needs 0,5-1dl/kg of water -> dog weighing 20 kilos needs 1 liter of water daily
• Exercise and warm weather increases the need for water!
• Already 3-4% of dehydration influences the physical performance of the dog
• 7-8% of dehydration can be dangerous and needs medical treatment

Influence of physical stress on the need for energy

• The approximate energy demand of the dog increases by 10% after 1 hour of physical exercise
• During long competition days the energy demand can increase to double
