Zuke's PowerBones were formulated with the aide of veterinarians and canine nutrition experts to help supply active dogs with the energy and nutrients their bodies demand. Zukes PowerBones are not just another Jerky Treat or Dry Dog Biscuit...they're all-natural and actually good for your dog!

Keeping active dogs energized - Naturally
The unique PowerBone formula combines a variety of energy sources and natural nutrients to keep active dogs going strong. Whether hiking, biking, jogging, swimming, or competing in flyball tournaments, dogs which work hard require the wholesome energy supplied by Zuke's PowerBones. If you're dog doesn't require all the energy provided by PowerBones, please take a look at Zukes' 'lighter' alternative, Jerky Naturals.

Getting Results , PowerBone Users tell the Real Story
With the help of Veterinarians and Canine Nutrition Experts, Zukes did the research and found out how dogs metabolize energy. With this knowledge, they developed PowerBones as the best way to keep your dog from running out of energy. They know from testing it, that PowerBones work, but Zuke's customers tell the real story. They've received hundreds of emails and letters over the years telling them how great PowerBones work.

Dogs bonk too!
When people hear about Zuke's PowerBones, many people say, "My dog's got too much energy already!" That may be the case for couch-potato pooches, but that energy supply which makes many dogs so hyper, is quickly depleted even after minimal exercise. Many runners know this first-hand. When you start out for a jog your dog is ready to go and is pulling you for the first mile or so. After a few miles, it's you pulling your dog; he's exhausted, his tongue is hanging out and he's ready for a rest. This is because dogs deplete their short term enery supplies quickly and that's where PowerBones can help. Hard working dogs, just like hard working people, need to treat their bodies well. We use 'energy bars', 'gels', and 'sport drinks' to help us when we exercise; your dog deserves the same. 5 oz. bag.

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!

What's in Zuke's Power Bones that makes them so good?

Zuke's Power Bones contain the highest quality, natural ingredients. The premium blend of nutrients begin with high quality protein for strong muscles - real beef or chicken (not low quality meat meals or by-products), or peanut butter. Next are simple and complex carbohydrates for energy - high fructose corn syrup (quick energy), durum wheat flour (the same type used to make pasta), dried beet molasses, and brewers yeast (B vitamins). Premium low-in-saturated-fat canola and flax seed oils provide the necessary fats for endurance (no lard or tallow), while only the best sources of fiber are used (apple pomace and carrot flakes). Finally, the vitamins and minerals active dogs need are included (Vitamin C, the energy packed B vitamins - B1, B2, B6, and B12, vitamins A, D3, and E, niacin, folic acid and more). These premium ingredients deliver the highest quality nutrients to your dog. This translates into higher costs, but we believe your dog is worth it.
