Nutri-Pet Research Nupro Electrolytes for Dogs, 1-Pound

I live in AZ and have a service dog we use this during the hotter as a maintenance supplement this is essential for working dogs well worth the money

Helped my dog recover after working

My dog drinks less water after walks whenever he has this in his system. I'm guessing because he feels hydrated.

I have very active athletic dogs that participate in several canine sports. Most of these happen outside during warm weather and my dogs expend a lot of energy, especially when racing. It is hard to get one of my dogs to drink enough water while at events because she is so focused on what is happening around her and it is not always feasible to remove her from the venue to get her a drink, so I was looking for something to supplement her body with during high activity times. I use both the Nupro joint supplement and the Nupro supplements 330015 so I was excited to find that Nupro also had an electrolyte supplement. I now use this twice per week for maintenance, and before/during/after a sport day. I mix the electrolytes in a little bit of water along with the Nupro supplement 330015 and feed it to them just before a meal. Our traveling season is just about to start, so I have not yet tried mixing it in their drinking water at events. I do not add it to their drinking water at home either as I live in a multi dog household with a communal water bowl. They give me no trouble ingesting the electrolytes mixed with the liver flavored daily supplement in some water, but I'm not sure yet how they will do with it in just plain water. Since I have been using the electrolytes my dogs recover much better after a hard workout or fast paced Agility session.

I mix this into home made dog treats. My dogs and I run long distance obstacle races together and adding this powder to their race treats make me feel better about their hydration.

My dogs can't taste it, but I give half of the recommended dose and maybe once a week...if that. Only because it's so high in sodium and one of my dogs has congested heart failure. I wish I would have looked at the sodium content before I bought it. Other than that, it's good stuff to have.

Our Boxer/German Shepherd mix loves to be outside, hike through the mountains/woods, and generally loves to be active. However, it gets very hot and humid here in North Carolina. We noticed after some long active days during the NC summers she would show signs of dehydration such as muscle cramps and muscle tremors. We found the Nupro electrolyte supplement and decided to give it a try. When we know we have some outside activities planned we follow the directions to prep her electrolyte levels and then also administer maintenance doses twice a week throughout the year. It's made an impressive difference. Even at 10 years old she's very peppy even when it's hot outside and the muscle cramps have gone away. One tip we have, don't try to add it to their water. They might not always drink it or if you have multiple animals sharing the water it's hard to know if everyone has received a proper dosage. We add it to the dog's dry food and add a bit of water to the kibble to help dissolve it. Our dog really seems to enjoy the supplement that way and always empties the bowl.

I keep this product on hand for the hot, humid days and diarrhea episodes. My dog loves the taste and I haven't had any dehydration episodes since he was a puppy. No more trips to the vet for dehydration.
