Dog Food for Peak Performance: Fueling Your Working Dog

In the world of passionate dog owners, whether you’re venturing deep into the woods with your trusty baying Treeing Walker Coonhound, patiently waiting beside your eager Labrador Retriever for a flock of ducks to take flight, or silently traversing through fields with your loyal German Shorthair Pointer by your side, one common factor unites us all: the undeniable importance of feeding our beloved four-legged friends with the right performance dog food. It’s the key to ensuring they are primed for every adventure, be it in the field, woods, or the duck blind.

What is a Performance Dog Food? 

Performance dog food is any dog food that provides your dog with long-lasting energy due to the proper formulation of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Minerals and vitamins are also important to assist with lasting energy and recovery time. Working dogs of any kind are athletes and their bodies undergo stress while performing their duties; this is why it’s important to have a nutritious formula to fuel their body. 

  • Performance dog food will have higher percentages of protein and fat. High protein supports the building and recovery of muscles for a highly active dog. High fat metabolizes slower and provides more energy for endurance. 
  • Finding a dog food that has a carbohydrate source that will not burn quickly is essential.
  • Joy Dog Food uses chelated minerals for stored nutrients. They are easily absorbed and allow the dog’s body to easily absorb all the other nutrients in the dog food.
  • We also use magnesium for muscle recovery, as well as other vitamins that benefit the dog’s overall well-being.

Whether you have a hunting dog, guard dog, cattle dog, or K9 Unit dog; they need a High-Performance dog food to keep up with their nutrient and energy needs.
