Dog Food for Peak Performance: How to Feed Your Working Dog
Updated: May 14, 2024
What is a Performance Dog Food?
Performance dog food is any dog food that provides your dog with long-lasting energy due to the proper formulation of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Minerals and vitamins are also important to assist with lasting energy and recovery time. Working dogs of any kind are athletes and their bodies undergo stress while performing their duties; this is why it’s important to have a nutritious formula to fuel their body.
Performance dog food will have higher percentages of protein and fat. High protein supports the building and recovery of muscles for a highly active dog. High fat metabolizes slower and provides more energy for endurance.
Finding a dog food that has a carbohydrate source that will not burn quickly is essential.
Joy Dog Food uses chelated minerals for stored nutrients. They are easily absorbed and allow the dog’s body to easily absorb all the other nutrients in the dog food.
We also use magnesium for muscle recovery, as well as other vitamins that benefit the dog’s overall well-being.
Working Dogs Need a Performance Dog Food
Whether you have a hunting dog, guard dog, cattle dog, or K9 Unit dog; they need a High-Performance dog food to keep up with their nutrient and energy needs. Their bodies demand more calories and nutrients than other formulas provide. For a high protein, high fat, calorie-dense dog food that is filled with nutrients so your dog can power through any job; try our High Energy 24/20 or our Super Meal 30/20 formulas.

High-protein formulas are definitely essential for keeping working dogs conditioned for long, intense tasks.
