"Nutritionally dense wholesome
ingredients, for the most demanding dogs, offering a high biological value for
optimum health, longevity and sustained energy levels"
Are tired of all the different dog foods on the market?
Are you confused about which food is best suited to their dog?
Imagine! If someone could
produce one wholesome food for all dogs.
Well
we have, our premium food stands up to all the rest of the dog
foods on the market. Not only is Performadog formulated for working dogs but is
works wonders for your family companion because it is made for all dogs, all breeds
at all life ages.
OUR STORY
Over 30 years of involvement in
the breeding and training of dogs has manifested into
the understanding that nutrition is equally important to a dog as its
genetic makeup and environmental influence. Never in history has there been so much emphasis placed on a
holistic approach to life as there is today. Science has established with certainty that in order to have a
long and fulfilling life, genetics and nutrition significantly determines the
state of health and longevity, ultimately determined by a component
of a chromosome called "telomere" and its length.
Telomeres are the protective
pieces of DNA material at the ends of every chromosome.
As mammals age their telomeres
shorten. Scientific studies have shown that short telomeres are associated with
age related decline and biological dysfunction. Evidence clearly shows that
mammals with long telomeres age healthier and live longer.
Here at Performadog we know
that wholesome nutritionally dense food combined with
a healthy lifestyle affects telomere length. We have sourced
quality wholesome ingredients for the most demanding dogs, offering a high
biological value to maintain optimum health, sustained energy levels
and longevity.
We know your dog will enjoy
Performadog wholesome premium foods, as it provides
long-term goodness for your most cherished friend.
OUR AIM
As a global company, our
ambition is a formidable premium dog food to fulfil expectations that excel
beyond the requirements of any current International standard,
raising levels of quality and services second to none.
Our aim is simple:
To supply products and service, apply new ways of thinking that bring
you innovative health management systems exemplifying the highest
standards available producing the best
premium dog food with a view of maintaining health, longevity, and
the management and prevention of
disease for all dogs.
WHY PERFORMADOG?
Performadog is committed to
optimum nutritionist and as such have long been interested in the dynamics of
telomere length, and how telomeres figure in to health and life expectancy.
Telomeres were first discovered
in 1973 by Alexey Olovnikov.
He found that the tiny units of DNA at the
very end of each chromosome—the telomere—shorten with time because they cannot
replicate completely each time the cell divides and they may be the most
powerful biological clock that has yet to be identified.
Hence, as we and animals get older, telomeres get shorter and shorter. Eventually, DNA replication and cell division ceases completely, at which point death is inevitable. However, a growing body of research is showing that certain nutrients play a huge role in protecting telomere length; greatly affecting how long mammals live.

Nutrition Affects Longevity
For example, in one recent study, scientists found that the B vitamin folate plays an important part in maintenance
of DNA integrity and DNA methylation, which in turn influences telomere length.
Researchers also found that women who use vitamin B12 supplements have longer telomeres than those who don't. Vitamin D3, zinc, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins C and E also influence telomere length. This supports the findings of an earlier study from 2009, which provided the first epidemiologic evidence that the use of multivitamins by women is associated with longer telomeres.
"Compared with nonusers, the relative telomere length of leukocyte DNA was on average 5.1% longer among daily multivitamin users. In the analysis of micro-nutrients higher intakes of vitamins C and E from foods were each associated with longer telomeres, even after adjustment for multivitamin use."
The mechanism by which nutrients appear to affect telomere length is by influencing the activity of telomerase, an enzyme that adds the telomeric repeats to the ends of your DNA. Thousands of studies have been published on telomerase, and they are well-known to maintain genomic stability, prevent the inappropriate activation of DNA damage pathways, and regulate cellular aging.
In 1984, Elizabeth Blackburn PhD, professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UCSF, discovered that the enzyme telomerase actually has the ability to lengthen the telomere by synthesizing DNA from an RNA primer. She, along with Carol Greider and Jack Szostak were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 "for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase."

So… Why Feed My Dog Performadog?
Loaded with Red Meat
Proteins "Performadog" is made by meat injected technology, proving to be the most palatable and sort after dog food today.
Most other brands are loaded carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide energy more rapidly
compared to fats. In humans, a high intake of carbohydrate increases muscle
glycogen, which increases stamina. The same carbohydrate in
dogs creates an excess accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle, leading
to a condition called hypoglycaemia which causes weakness and fatigue.
Today's high
carbohydrate pet foods lead to blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance,
and are widely considered as a leading cause of obesity, diabetes and a host of
other health problems in dogs.
Made
in Australia from nutritionally dense wholesome ingredients with
its main protein source being “Meat Injection” Performadog is a leader in canine healthcare.
This “Meat Injection” technology applies a new way of
thinking that brings you innovative health management systems exemplifying the
highest standards, producing the most palatable premium dog food available with
a view of maintaining health, longevity, and the management and prevention of
disease for all dogs.
