I would like to look back and reflect on some new products that I used this past year while chasing upland birds in 3 different states. I was really pleased with about 5 new things I used this year, felt so-so on a few and not so thrilled on a few others. I like to stay positive, so I would like to talk about a few I was really pleased with this past Fall/Winter.
The first couple products were more for my best buddy then it was for me but they were products that were new to me this year and really found them valuable in the field especially on multiple day hunts. With my Dog over 7 years old now, The last few years I begun to worry about his stamina for all day hunts and multiple days hunts. He was just not quite as durable/lasting as he was when he was 2-4 years old. This year I was introduced to some products by Filed Staffer Corey Waller called Top Dog and K-9 restart. I gave them a try and was really pleased with the results. I did not see big differences in one day hunts, but the difference in multiple day hunts of 2 or more days in a row was incredible. He still had energy and ability to go and go hard 2-3 days in a row. That was something he was starting to lack on as of late. The Top Dog product is a water based product that is fed or consumed during the hunt. It is much like a slim-jim, but for your K9 buddy. It keeps fueling his system so he has energy to burn. Being that it is water base, unlike many other products out there, it is easy for him to digest during his active day. The other product was K-9 Restart and basically is an additive to your dog(s) water that replenishes the electrolytes that are lost during your dogs physical activity. This product is much like Gatorade or other similar drinks, but designed for DOGS. It is a beef flavored so your dog(s) will love it also. I also spread this powder on top of his food after a hard days work.
After numerous multiple days hunts this fall I give this combination of TOP DOG and K-9 RESTART a thumbs up and will definitely be using it next Fall.
