5 Ways to Keep Your Active Dog Performing at Their Peak
If your dog joins you on hikes, runs, or long training sessions, they’re doing more than the average pet—and that means they need more than the average nutrition plan. Here are five performance-based tips to help your dog recover faster, stay agile, and go the extra mile with you.
1. Prioritize Joint Health Before There’s a Problem
Whether they’re bounding over boulders or just logging long miles, active dogs place more stress on their joints than most. By the time stiffness shows up, wear-and-tear has already begun.
💡Performance tip: Start supporting their joints early with ingredients like omega-3s, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and anti-inflammatory compounds like turmeric.*
2. Protect Their Gut to Support Energy and Recovery
High-activity dogs need efficient nutrient absorption, strong immunity, and reduced inflammation—all of which depend on a healthy gut lining. A disrupted gut can slow recovery and weaken endurance, even if your dog “looks fine.”
💡Performance tip: Prioritize gut-supportive nutrients like prebiotics, bone broth, and antioxidants to help your dog bounce back faster after stress.*
3. Antioxidants Are Key to Muscle Recovery
Strenuous activity increases oxidative stress, which can damage cells and slow muscle repair. Antioxidants help neutralize that stress and reduce inflammation in hard-working dogs.
💡Performance tip: Look for natural sources like bilberry, kiwi, or echinacea to build daily antioxidant support into their diet.*
4. Stay Ahead of Inflammation
Inflammation is the silent limiter. It reduces mobility, dulls focus, and leads to slower response times. The more activity your dog gets, the more you need to proactively manage it.
💡Performance tip: Functional ingredients like CurcuVET® (a bioavailable turmeric extract) have been shown to support healthy inflammatory responses at the cellular level.*
5. Daily Nutrition Should Match Their Output
Most kibble is designed for the “average” dog—not one that logs 10,000 steps by noon. Toppers are a simple way to layer in high-impact nutrients without disrupting their base diet.
💡Performance tip: A high-quality, science-backed topper gives your dog the extra edge they need—whether it’s for trail runs or search-and-rescue drills.*

FAQs
Can I add Pop-Topper to my dog’s food?
Yes! This is the best way to incorporate the Pop-Topper daily powder into your dog’s existing routine.
How much do I serve my dog?
One serving (sachet) per day. As the formulas have been customized for your dog’s size and age, you do not need to “top up” or reduce the daily amount. Given the serving size, we also do not recommend that you divide it across mealtimes and instead serve in one go.
When should I expect to see the benefits?
Reducing inflammatory biomarkers (and thereby improving immunity) takes time. With daily use, you can expect to see the visible benefits in your dog within two months.
Can I give my dog other toppers or supplements along with Pop-Topper?
Our product is designed to provide your dog with foundational nutrition and complement its existing diet. We do not recommend adding additional supplements or topper products. If you would like to add additional products, we advise that you consult with your veterinarian.
What should I do if my dog doesn’t like the taste?
Our Pop-Topper formulas were also developed with flavor in mind. We have leveraged the natural flavors of the superfood ingredients to ensure a delicious taste that even picky eaters will love.
What if my dog’s stomach becomes upset after using Pop-Topper?
We understand that some dogs have very sensitive stomachs and unfortunately may experience gastrointestinal issues when implementing new foods and supplements into their diet. Usually soft or irregular stools will last during a short-term adjustment period. If this persists for more than 5 days or their GI issues seem severe, stop using and consult with your veterinarian.
What measures have you taken to ensure the quality and safety of Pop-Topper?
Our ingredients are sourced from reputable and ethical suppliers in New Zealand and beyond. We manufacture POP-Topper in a GMP-compliant facility in Texas and conduct third-party testing.
