A diet that's high in fat and protein can increase an active dog's metabolism and his endurance.
During sprint racing, dogs will burn energy at a rate 3 times greater during the initial burst of acceleration (first 7.5 seconds) compared to rate of burning energy during the rest of the run (up to 1 min).
A dog’s muscles store 50x more energy as fat when compared to the total amount of carbohydrates stored in muscle as glycogen.
Most small dogs can jump 6 times higher than their hip height.
On a pound for pound basis, dogs can produce more muscle power in comparison to humans which is one reason they can jump so high and so far.
A dog's main energy source comes from fat, not carbs.
Concentrated Nutrition of SPORT 30/20 helps optimize oxygen metabolism for increased endurance.
SPORT Performance 30/20 has 30% protein, 20% fat to help fuel metabolic needs and maintain lean muscle in active dogs.
SPORT formulas deliver fine-tuned nutrition to promote strength and endurance.
