Nutritional needs for pups vary as a result of many aspects like life stage, size, breed, team activity levels, physical health, and more, as a result, a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition will not do the job. Our staff can advise you on which types of foods will be appropriate based on your pet's demands, the quantity to feed, and what to look for on pet food labels.

Nutrition for Stage Show & Working Dogs
Stage show and working dogs have special dietary needs. Generally, working dogs are larger breeds such as an Akita, a Mastiff, or a Newfoundland that are specifically bred to perform tasks like sledding or herding. To perform their best, these dogs need high-performance pet food that helps keep them working at top productivity. Depending on the amount of work, working dogs may require 1.5 to 2.5 times the volume of food as a sedentary pet, and if the dogs are doing work in high conditions, the volume of food needed increases even more.
