How Dogs Benefit From K9 Natural

K9 Natural Sled Dogs Going For a Morning Run

K9 Natural is a product that is not specifically made for one breed of dog over another. Indeed the product itself is designed for athletes. If we look at wolves (in which the domestic dog only differentiates by 0.2% mDNA) they have endurance, strength and power, without which they simply would not be able to hunt and ultimately catch their prey. Therefore it makes complete sense that the animals that form their diet enable these physical and hunting attributes to be developed to optimal levels.

K9 Natural does not claim to be better than what nature provides, it is however the closest commercial dog food product to it!

If we look in a simplistic manner at the ingredients, we can see that the major component is meat, blood and bone. This provides protein to build muscle (lean body mass), fats for easily accessible energy, and a range of micronutrients including vitamins B and E in addition to iron to help boost energy levels. The result of which is a lean, strong and healthy dog, one which has a well-developed endurance base combined with a much reduced risk of injury and rate of fatigue.

The small quantity of slow release carbohydrates contained within the products, derived from sustained energy releasing macronutrients furthermore adds to the endurance capabilities of dogs. This helps in many respects, however can be summarised as primarily contributing to immediate energy needs and the requirements of a dog’s central nervous system.

In conclusion, whilst some dogs, might well require a greater need for endurance and stamina than others, in essence these are fitness components essential to all dogs for survival in a natural environment, without which, the potential to exist is greatly compromised.

K9 Natural Takes on the World!

Since we are based in New Zealand this requires a lot of flying….waiting…flying….waiting….driving and…then some more flying!
