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.

Medium 30 to 60 lbs. 4 to 6
Large 60 to 100 lbs 6 to 8
Extra Large 100+ lbs. 8+
*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.
#The number of strips per
session of activity (0 - 6 hours) is indicated. Repeat as necessary.
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!

Zuke's Power Bones also
work great as a light meal alternative (camping, day hikes, etc.). The amount
of calories and nutrients in such a small package make it much easier to pack
in than conventional dog food which is almost all filler.
