When it comes to working dogs, whether they’re herding livestock, competing in agility trials, or accompanying you out on the field, their nutrition is critical to maintaining peak performance. These dogs need a diet that supports their high energy levels, promotes gut health, and keeps their coat looking sleek and shiny. At Percuro, we understand the unique needs of working dogs, which is why we’ve developed a hypoallergenic, low-inflammatory, sustainable pet food formula that’s perfect for your hard-working companion.
Energy to Keep Going All Day
Working dogs require an enormous amount of energy to stay active throughout the day. Our formula is packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like naked oats and dried potato flakes that provide the complex carbohydrates necessary for sustained energy. Naked oats are a novel carbohydrate source that’s not only highly digestible, but also offers a bonus of fatty acids for a healthy coat. Meanwhile, dried potato flakes are rich in fibre, vitamins B and C, and high in carbohydrates—perfect for keeping your dog’s energy levels up during long days of activity.
Black Soldier Fly larvae serve as a premium, hypoallergenic protein source, offering a clean, sustainable option that supports muscle maintenance and recovery. This unique ingredient is particularly beneficial for dogs with sensitive skin or digestive issues, ensuring they get the protein they need without the itchiness or stomach upset that some proteins can cause.
Gut Health: The Foundation of Wellbeing
For working dogs, gut health is more than just about digestion—it’s the foundation of their overall wellbeing. A balanced gut supports their immune system, helps regulate energy levels, and ensures they can bounce back quickly after a long day. Dried beet pulp is an excellent source of dietary fibre that improves stool quality and promotes a healthy gut. Combined with dried chicory, which provides inulin, a powerful prebiotic, these ingredients foster the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, keeping your dog’s digestive system in top shape.
Prebiotics like MOS and Beta Glucans, derived from yeast, further enhance gut health by balancing good bacteria within the gut. This is especially important for working dogs who spend a lot of time on the road or in crates, where they may not be as active. Good gut health ensures they can handle these periods of inactivity without suffering from digestive issues.
A Shiny Coat and Healthy Skin
A sleek, shiny coat is often a sign of a healthy dog, and for working dogs, it’s an indicator of overall wellness. Our formula includes algae oil and flaxseed, both plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin and a glossy coat. Flaxseed also contains flavonoids, known anti-inflammatory compounds found in all types of flaxseeds. These may help reduce certain forms of inflammation that could potentially lead to disease. Extra virgin olive oil provides a blend of omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, offering a comprehensive approach to skin and coat health.
For dogs prone to itchy skin or allergies, our formula’s hypoallergenic ingredients, like Black Soldier Fly larvae, work wonders. Dried brewer’s yeast, rich in B vitamins, zinc, and iron, also supports healthy skin and helps maintain liver function, contributing to overall vitality.
A Complete and Balanced Diet for All Life Stages
One of the many benefits of Percuro’s formula is that it’s suitable for dogs of all ages—from puppies to adult. The rich blend of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients means you don’t need to feed large amounts to see results. This is particularly important for working dogs, who need to stay in tip top shape for competitions and training.
Don’t just take our word for it—listen to the success stories from those who trust Percuro for their working dogs.
Natalie Cannon, ranked 2nd in The Spaniel Championships 2019 and a respected B Panel Kennel Club judge, shares:
“Since starting Percuro over a year ago, my team has flourished. Their stamina is great—they never run out of steam on a day’s shooting or competing. Their coats are silky smooth and shiny, and their gut health is great. We have dogs from puppies all the way through to seniors, and it’s lovely that Percuro suits them all.”
Mae, a little cocker with a history of allergies and acid reflux, has also found relief with Percuro:
“Mae has always been raw fed, but everything has chicken in it. A friend recommended Percuro, and wow, what a difference it has made to Mae. We have no acid reflux, no food allergies, and her environment allergies last summer were much more controlled.”
