Total Performance Drink for Dogs! K9 Go DOG, dog sports drink supplement is more than just water and carbs. It’s not a human sports drink reconfigured for dogs. It’s designed specifically for the canine metabolism and features a proprietary blend of electrolytes, short-burst and long-range energy fuels, plus vital buffering agents. These buffers help neutralize performance-robbing, potentially-lethal metabolic acid (H+) buildup.
The explosive muscular power that propels your dog into the air after a Frisbee or over an agility obstacle comes at a cost – heat. The more power generated, the more heat produced. This heat builds up and limits performance. It can even kill. There’s never been much you could do but surrender to the endothermic (heat generating) effect. Except wait it out, hope for the best. Now that human sports drinks have proved themselves, we believe it’s time that dogs benefit. That’s why we developed K9 Go DOG.
Nothing does more to keep your dog in the performance and safety zone than Go DOG. Try K9 Go DOG, and see the longer-stronger-happier-healthier difference it makes in your dog!
Dogs operate within a narrow core temperature range. Their power zone is 100 - 104°F. Your dog’s performance declines above this range and heat stroke becomes a real danger. Short muzzle dogs are especially at risk (smaller “radiators” than long muzzle dogs). And core temp rises faster on hot days.
Highly Effective- Each ingredient in K9 Go DOG is made more effective by Nobel Prize winning science. K9 GoDOG contains OxyBoost, the first natural canine vasodilator, medically proven to relax and expand blood vessels. Increased circulation improves oxygen and energy delivery, recovery-even hydration.
Total Canine Performance- K9 GoDOG strengthens all 3 metabolic links to total peak performance.
Improve Physical Performance- GoDOG Increases energy production in slow and fast twitch muscle fibers; maintain higher output longer. Rapid & slow release fuels generate higher muscle ATP, boosting strength and power. Enhanced lactic acid & ammonia clearance reduces fatigue & the “burn”, extending endurance. Finally, enhanced oxygen delivery increases “air” (more V02 max remaining) & raises anaerobic threshold.
Improve Mental Performance- K9 Go DOG raises oxygen and glucose delivery to the brain, plus neurotransmitter & hydration support, maintains mental focus even under the most grueling conditions.
Improve Field Performance- Go DOG supplement improves tracking ability to detect and follow scents for hours when others weaken.
