The nutritional strategies of an “athlete” dog must therefore satisfy these three areas to contribute to achieving good athletic performance.

ENERGY EXPENDITURE 

To cope with physical effort, the organism of all living beings needs energy. The CelerVis Pet® product was created to meet the demand for energy expenditure.

Why on earth would you use such a product if your dog already eats quality food? 

A complete and balanced diet represents the essential condition for maintaining the dog’s well-being and state of health. But the nutrition of the “athlete” dog goes far beyond the pure calculation of caloric needs and supplementation is essential to support the health and well-being of the animal and improve its performance.

DogoRehydro® is a supplement with ingredients aimed at maintaining normal energy metabolism; it also contains complex carbohydrates such as maltodextrins which provide energy to support the dog during physical activity. 

The peculiarity of DogoRehydro® is given by the pool of substances contained within it, for the exclusive use of Dogoteka, known by the name ProVisPet®.

ProVisPet® is a blend where the properties of L-Carnitine, Maca and Alfalfa are combined which cooperate synergistically with each other to optimize the energy yield of the ingredients. 

L-Carnitine can improve training performance by increasing the body’s ability to transform fat into energy, also contributing to faster recovery and a reduction in muscle soreness (lactic acid).

Maca – Lepidium Meyeni is a plant rich in nutrients with a complete nutritional profile from a protein, vitamin, enzymatic and mineral point of view. Maca is known to increase energy levels and physical stamina. 

Medicago Sativa or Alfalfa is called the father of all elements (Alfa Alpha) for its nutritional richness, which is why it is also useful as a tonic both in subjects undergoing physical activity and in convalescence.

Two medicinal mushrooms are added to this formula:

Cordyceps Sinensis, which has the ability to increase strength, physical resistance, the speed of muscle recovery after effort and helps eliminate lactic acid more quickly

and

Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as REISHI, which is often used as a tonic to increase energy and vitality. Reishi is therefore indicated for: elderly dogs, dogs recovering from an illness, to improve sports performance.

Furthermore, it increases the ability to resist physical effort, reduces the sense of exhaustion and allows you to recover strength more quickly.

The use of Maca and Alfalfa phyto extracts, medicinal mushrooms such as Cordyceps and Reishi make this product a versatile paste that can be used not only in the case of sporting dogs but also for:

• weak newborn puppies
• pregnant females
• during and after delivery
• during breastfeeding 
• debilitated and convalescent dogs.

OXIDATIVE STRESS 

Work, hunting and competitions induce physiological and psychological stress. It is no secret that a very active dog is subjected to oxidative phenomena that occur within an animal organism when energy is released. The use of antioxidants in the daily supplementation of the “athlete” dog is therefore fundamental.

A product rich in antioxidants is essential to combat oxidative stress! 

This also applies to an animal that does different activities such as: dog or cat shows, rescue, intense walks with the owner, etc…

Why is the use of MultiAdapt® indicated in very active dogs, subjected to physical effort or intense work, psychological stress such as dog shows, etc.?  How can the product help them? 

The increase in physical activity leads to the necessary increase in the nutritional requirement of vitamins and minerals (oxidative stress) which the complete feed (kibble/wet) cannot guarantee in the quantities indicated in the daily ration. All this generates significant physiological stress. MultiAdapt® is an easy-to-absorb multivitamin containing nutrients specifically designed and inserted to combat this stressful condition.

DEHYDRATION 

Water is a fundamental ingredient for maintaining the good state of hydration of the “athlete” dog, it also has the function of cooling the body and conveying the waste products that are formed with physiological metabolism and physical activity. 

Water intake is therefore essential!

Why use DogoRehydro® for the »athlete« dog?

For a correct restoration of the Electrolytes!

In fact, sports dogs often pant to regulate their body temperature, losing vital mineral salts. When dogs breathe rapidly (intense exercise, rapid breathing due to stress, anxiety, and heat) they lose a significant amount of water through evaporation from the lungs and mouth, which can lead to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance. DogoRehydro® helps restore lost electrolytes, thanks to its composition rich in potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and other mineral salts.

And don’t forget to also take care of your »athlete« dog’s joints with the DogoMaxy and DogoMini!
