K9 EnergyEdge

At Tracks K9 Club in Chiefland, Florida, we are always looking for ways to help our canine athletes perform at their absolute best — and K9 Energy Edge has become an important part of that success. Our 3-year-old dock diving superstar, Mazikeen “Maze” Lilith, has been using K9 Energy Edge since she first started competing two years ago, and the results have been nothing short of incredible.

"As a canine rehabilitation professional, I trust Energy Edge to support my dogs’ performance and recovery during and after rigorous agility training and competition. My dogs give their all every time they step onto the course, and Energy Edge plays a key role in helping them maintain their "edge". It’s an essential part of how I keep them performing at their best while supporting their bodies through the demands of the sport."

I am from a seventh generation Nevada ranch family, who has owned and worked both herding and hunting working dogs. Our family on the Dayton, Nevada ranch, owned the first pheasant hunting preserve in the state of Nevada. My background is not only being an athlete myself (4 sport all conference at the high school level and full ride collegiate athlete) but I own, train and compete with the canine athlete. There is no substitute for good genetics and appropriate training. With that said, I have tried many supplements and nutritional approaches with my teams. I have found that Energy Edge fits the bill, for keeping my canine athletes performing at their very best. We live and work in the high mountain desert of Nevada and assist with big gathers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I routinely use Energy Edge prior to any big ‘works’, and often post exertion for the replenishment of the glycogen stores in the muscle. In the very hot temperatures that we are seeing, I am very cognizant of what I ask my dogs to do. In spite of this fact, there are times with livestock that you find yourself having to get a job done that perhaps wasn’t planned, but has to be addressed. I find that now that I routinely implement the Energy Edge my dogs handle these situations better with a lower concern of hyperthermia, with consistent mental acuity and a quicker recovery. Whether you are competing, hunting or tending livestock, I would highly recommend implementing Energy Edge into your program.

I have been using Energy Edge for about 5 years. I run dogs in USBCHA sanctioned open sheepdog trials on the East Coast in the summer and in Colorado and on the West Coast when I have the opportunity. During an open course, the dogs run continuously from abut 8 to 25 minutes. Dogs can only rid themselves of heat by panting or by immersion in cold water. Sometimes you are lucky enough to run early before the heat of the day, but you can’t count on it. In the hot humid summers of the east, heat stress is a real concern even on smaller courses. Out west, the courses tend to be bigger and therefore more demanding. Global warming is making hot weather more and more of a challenge for dog trialing. My dogs are in pretty good shape. I try to keep them as fit as possible so that they can handle the demands of dog trialing. After they compete in a trial or if I am training when it’s warm, they always have access to plenty of water to cool down. I have one dog, Zoe, who is definitely more sensitive to heat than my other two trial dogs. Zoe routinely gets Energy Edge when she is finished running. At first she didn’t drink it. I had to doctor it up with yogurt. My other dogs would compete for it. Now she drinks it right away. I tend to have it on hand fro offer other competing dogs that have gotten too hot at the end of a run. These dogs go all out and we need to protect them.
