What comes before a great working dog?
What comes before a great working dog? A great working dog puppy!
To make sure your working dog starts off on the right paw, it’s important to set them up for success by giving them everything they need while they are a growing puppy. This way they can hit the farm running when the time comes.

Body condition scoring.
Body Condition Scoring (BCS), is monitoring a dog’s condition in the same way you review your stock.
The most effective way to know how much to feed your working dog is to feed by eye. Just as you appraise your ewes and lambs body condition, so too can you appraise your working dogs’ body condition.

Why should I feed my dog Premium Performance?
As most farmers know, a good working dog is worth their weight in gold. Whether they are driving sheep or herding cattle, they are hardworking athletes who keep a farm going. It’s not uncommon for them to travel 100km of hill country in a day. To keep these dogs in optimal condition it’s important they are provided with an appropriate diet.

"I’m proud of my dogs, and I want a team that look fit and well, work hard, eat up, then go out and do it all over again. Eukanuba Premium Performance is economical, easy to use, and I always know im getting the very best out of them.”
Jed McAlley, Hunterville

I have a small team of working dogs, therefore it is essential that they have a long and productive working life. Their good health is very important. That is why I find feeding Eukanuba Premium Performance works extremely well and is cost effective for me.
