CONSIDERATIONS WHEN DEVELOPING CANINE PERFORMANCE SUPPLEMENTS
WHAT IS A CANINE PERFORMANCE SUPPLEMENT?
Canine performance supplements are nutritional products designed to support stamina, recovery, hydration, joint, and muscle health in active dogs. Common applications are powders, chews, tablets, and liquids.
Canine performance supplements are made to boost endurance, improve mobility, aid post-exercise recovery, support hydration, and help reduce inflammation in active dogs.
WHAT TYPES OF DOGS SHOULD USE PERFORMANCE SUPPLEMENTS?
Canine performance supplements are often used for training, competitions, or in daily use for highly active pets. Other canine lifestyles that may benefit from performance supplements include working dogs, hunting dogs, agility breeds, active senior dogs, and breed-specific needs.
