Performance Blend

A carefully selected blend of Organic herbs, wild ingredients, and superfoods created for dogs that participate in strenuous activities such as Gundog Trials, Agility, Working Trials, Canicross, Sled Racing etc.

All the ingredients are chosen specifically for their ability to support hard-working, athletic dogs to combat fatigue, improve stamina, assist in quicker recovery, maintain condition, adapt to the stresses of competition, and provide many essential nutrients that active dogs need.

All the herbs used are of the highest quality and our products have been created by a canine sports and holistic therapist.

The blend can be stirred into raw, moist, and homemade meals or rehydrated with a little warm water and mixed into dry food.

Organic Wheatgrass, Organic Alfalfa, Organic Chlorella, Organic Ashwagandha, Organic Seaweed, Organic Hawthorn berry, Fenugreek seed, Organic Beetroot

If your sport is seasonal then I would recommend that you take a break from the blend when you are not competing and resume a month before your competitions start again. Alternatively, cut the amount of the blend down and then increase it again as you restart your sport.

Snack Bars for Dogs

 If you are out all day with your dog, have a strenuous training session planned or a busy day at a show, these snack bars are ideal for active dogs and those that need a pick me up.

 You will need:

A baking tray lined with baking parchment

250g Gluten free Rolled oats or Oatmeal

A generous pinch of Pumpkin seeds

1 small ripe mashed banana

Optional half teaspoon of almond nut butter (must be palm oil & xylitol free) Pip & Nut make a good one.

4 blueberries, lightly crushed with a fork or dried unsweetened cranberries.

1 teaspoon of local honey (not for pups under 12 months) or blackstrap molasses

1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon of your favourite Hedgerow Hounds herbal blend. The Crowning Glory blend would look great in this bar!

Optional quarter teaspoon of cinnamon or turmeric, if your dog likes the taste.

Place the oats, seeds, berries and banana into a saucepan over a low heat. When the contents are starting to get warm add the coconut oil, honey and cinnamon, stirring and crushing with the back of a fork if necessary, until the ingredients are combined. 

Spoon evenly onto the baking tray, levelling out and pressing down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon.

Place on the middle shelf of a pre-heated oven at 180c for approximately 20-25 minutes until a light golden brown.  

Remove the tray from the oven and while still warm gently cut the size of rectangles you require with a knife. Leave to cool completely in the tin before lifting the energy bars out.

Make sure the bars are cold before storing in an airtight container for up to a week or alternatively wrap the bars individually and freeze.
