More endurance for sports dogs? You can do that

More endurance for sports dogs

Whether Canicross, sled dog races or simply regular extended jogging tours with the dog. Dog sport is trendy and brings dog and owner much joy.


However, in order for the joy to be permanent, it is essential to invest in the health of the sporting fur nose. Especially nutrition plays a particularly important role here. And this poses quite a few challenges for sports dog owners.


What you need to look for and how you can naturally support the performance of your four-legged friend is explained below.

Why the diet is so important

Sport dogs need the right nutrients in the right amount. It is especially important that your dog receives enough energy overall. Finally, the regular sports program ensures that its consumption is significantly increased.


Only if you cover it, you can be sure it will perform well and stay healthy during training and competition.


Otherwise, the combination of inadequate nutrition and great effort can quickly ensure that performance deteriorates and regeneration after exercise is delayed.


Last but not least, the risk of sports injuries increases significantly if the animal is not provided with enough food.

Special requirements for endurance sports

Especially in endurance sports, dogs need the right mix of carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are particularly easy to use by the body and therefore serve as a readily available source of energy.


However, the longer the load lasts, the more fats gain in importance in terms of energy supply. Because the carbohydrate reserves are consumed first, the dog needs an energy source that is available to him for a long time.


In addition to the importance of fat and carbohydrates for the energy supply you should also be aware that the calorie needs of a sports dog is generally increased. Thus, he needs more food than is the case with an "unsportsmanlike" fur nose.


To avoid too large portions, it is therefore advantageous if the feed used can have the highest possible energy density. For this reason, dry food is usually better than wet food. Because it contains significantly less water and thus provides enough energy even with comparatively small amounts.

Dietary supplements can help

In addition to the appropriate food, the use of dietary supplements may be worthwhile. Used properly, these can help to meet the nutritional needs of the dog. However, you should not give your four-legged friends something to eat. Especially for sporting excellence, quality is of great importance.


So make sure that the dietary supplement of your choice is made from high-quality, natural ingredients. This is the only way to ensure good compatibility and high efficacy of the product.

What we recommend

For dogs that practice endurance sports, we recommend that you use the Bellfor Fitness Bar. This provides the perfect combination of nutrients to support sports dogs under prolonged stress.


Insect fat provides the body with lauric acid and MCT fats. These so-called medium-chain fats are particularly quickly recyclable and are therefore very good for the energy supply during sports.


In addition, our fitness bar contains salmon as a supplier of omega-3 fatty acids. Among other things, these unsaturated fatty acids reduce inflammation in the body and are important for regeneration.


In addition, cod liver oil feeds the fur nose with vitamins A, D and E, while sweet potatoes serve as a source of carbohydrates and important micronutrients such as magnesium.


The beetroot in our fitness bars not only provides iron and vitamin B, but is also rich in nitrites. These expand the vessels and improve the oxygen supply. This is especially helpful in sports.


In addition, the Bellfor fitness bar contains L-carnitine and L-arginine. L-carnitine supports fat metabolism and L-arginine has been shown to improve performance.


You want to optimally support your dog in endurance sports? Then the Bellfor fitness bar is definitely the right choice.
