Nutritional Needs of Herding Dogs

Herding dogs dig deep and push hard. They operate at peak performance for multiple hours a day and need recovery support so they can do it again tomorrow. Eukanuba™ Premium Performance products are designed to support high energy output in herding dogs.

Focus for the task at hand requires optimal brain health

Herding dogs must make decisions quickly and execute efficiently. DHA is a fatty acid that helps promote learning and memory, and antioxidants help support a dog’s cognition and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

recovery calls for peak muscle condition

Herding dogs that work long days and repeat the cycle can benefit from high protein diets that support healthy muscle. Protein also supports the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to key muscle groups.

Strenuous exercise requires support for digestive health

Long, hard days put stress on the digestive mucosa. Herding dogs need highly digestible diets full of fiber that support digestive health and promote optimal stool quality.
