How to prepare a dog for performance | What to give a dog before sports

When planning training sessions, races, hikes or any other activity with your dog, keep three things in mind:

Timing - the activity should not take place with a full stomach
Nutrition - the dog needs to get enough nutrients to make the activity healthy and safe for him.
Hydration - the most important point of preparation - the dog must have enough fluids.

The day before the activity with the dog

Add to the dog's food:
Fats - these will serve as a basic source of energy. Healthy oils are an ideal source.
Proteins - will ensure proper muscle regeneration after activity. You can use Protein Mush for dogs.
Vitamins and minerals - ensure sufficient electrolytes for proper muscle function. You can find a complete mix of all the most important vitamins and minerals for dogs in Vit&Min.

A few hours before

Right before the performance, you need to give your dog energy and hydrate him sufficiently. And at the same time not burden the experience.
Lack of water thickens the blood and the dog's heart has to work extra hard. This makes the activity dangerous and unnecessarily demanding for the dog. That's why we repeat - hydrate the dog properly.

Hydration and energy

Speed&Power has a special composition to provide the dog with energy and other necessary substances, to support hydration and at the same time not burden digestion.

TIP for competitors - Stamina Booster is an enhancer for every athlete. If you are planning a tough training or race, you can improve any pre-run drink (ideally Speed&Power) with Stamina Booster. It provides extra energy, endurance and improves the efficiency of the use of fats as the main energy source. At the same time, it will help protect the dog's muscles and nervous system.

Only energy

If you only want to give your dog energy and don't want to hydrate it - it can be a short walk or, on the contrary, a long trip when you want to replenish your dog's energy, use the Turbogule treat. It is based on the Speed&Power formula, but you can always have them on hand. Just energy packed for travel.

Hydration only

During activities in the summer, care must be taken to ensure sufficient hydration. If you don't want to give your dog energy, but only to water it, use Hydrant. It will help the dog's body retain water properly and supply electrolytes that are needed during activity.
