How do Zuke's Power Bones work for your dog?
Zuke's Power Bones work much the same as a nutrition/endurance bar for a human. As activity increases, straining muscles deplete your dog's energy supply. Zuke's Power Bones were designed to meet the increased demands of an active dog's body by providing the extra nutrients needed for strength and endurance. The wholesome, natural nutrients give your dog what he needs when he needs it most.The highly digestible Zuke's Power Bones formula delivers those nutrients before, during, and after exercise.

*These values are only meant as guidelines. If a dog is highly active they may need more Zuke's Power Bones than an "average" dog of the same size.

When to use Zuke's PowerBones

Given before a workout
The long lasting energy provided by complex carbohydrates and premium oils fuel your dog throughout his workout. Meanwhile, the simple carbohydrates (sugars) jumpstart their metabolism, preparing their bodies to burn those complex carbs and oils.

Given during a workout
Zuke's Power Bones provide that 'second wind' by supplying an initial burst of simple sugars, while the complex carbs maintain your dog's stamina.

Given after a workout
the simple sugars in Zuke's Power Bones rapidly replenish your dog's short term energy stores (glycogen). This is critical because there is a short window of opportunity when glycogen can readily be replenished. If the glycogen tank isn't refilled, your dog will have smaller 'short term' energy supply the next time she exercises. Constantly emptying and refilling your dog's glycogen tank will make it larger and more efficient which means more endurance and better health for your dog!
