Zuke's Power Bones
Energy bars, protein bars, power bars! You eat them. Why not your dog? The wave is just getting started but is picking up faster than you can decide if your dog really needs more energy!
These bars are designed for dogs who are already very active - those that hunt, run, sled, joring dogs, and other active dogs. Power bars are also great for agility and show dogs, keeping them on their toes throughout their competitions. Protein bars are not generally recommended for dogs who do moderate exercise, but may be recommended for puppies who are underweight.
There are more choices of high protein dog bars on the market nearly every week, but here are three brands with some history and some really positive reviews: Zuke's Power Bones, Kronch Pemmikan Lakse Energy Barh Pemmikan Lakse Energy Bars, and Smart Cookie Beef Endurance Dog Treats.

The bars come in 8 marked segments for easy dosing. The fish meal contained in the Pemmikan Lakse bar likely comes from the Kronch factory's nextdoor neighbor's salmon factory in Denmark!
These energy bars receive high marks from dog parents, but some dogs don't like the 'unusual' taste.
