Laos I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for such a fantastic product and for the personal interest Mike Williams has taken with helping me get my young shutzhund dog where he is today. I truly believe if it was not for Canine Performance Nutrition and Mike's suggestion of additional supplements, Laos' working career would be over with, even before it really started. Laos is a large, very high drive, energetic young male German shepherd that injured his canine cruciate ligament (CCL) last year during training. I received a 1st and 2nd recommendation to have this injury repaired with a procedure called tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO surgery,November 2010), after months of crate rest and restricted activity did not help. I was told that he should be able to return to schutzhund training within six months. That did not happen. Laos experienced several severe infections and also developed a negative reaction to the orthopedic hardware used in this surgery resulting in the removal of that hardware 4 months post op. After his 2nd surgery (March 2011), Laos again developed a severe infection which necessitated a long term regime of strong antibiotics and continued crate restriction. Needless to say Laos lost a lot of muscle mass and strength. He would make great progress and then re-injure his knee due to the lack of muscle mass and tone to help protect that joint. On the recommendation of Mike, we started Laos on Vertex, along with the additional supplements he suggested. The results were unbelievable as within weeks I could tell a difference in Laos' gait as well as muscle mass development. I was able to begin his rehabilitation again after several months of leash walks and crate rest with more intensity and the progress he has made is extraordinary. Last month we began his shutzhund training again and he has remained sound physically. This is a dog that on two occasions last year I almost made the decision to euthanize as I could no longer bear seeing him in pain. When I decided on the second surgery, my only goal was to get Laos to a point that he would be able to run free in the back yard, just being a dog was good enough for me. I never thought he would be back on the schutzhund field again. We've been through quite a year, but we are making progress on a weekly basis and Laos is working again. I know in my heart that if it was not for the Canine Performance Nutrition products and Mike William's personal interest in helping this dog, Laos would not be where he is today. I will be forever grateful. Lynn Paplauskas & Laos v.

Touch N Go Flyball Team Over the past 17 years, Touch N Go has become one of the most successful teams ever to compete in the sport of flyball, with numerous regional & national titles, breed titles and world records.
We firmly believe that Vertex has played a major role in our success, including our most recent World Record, which was set on March 26, 2011 in Hurricane, UT. Each of the A-Team dogs that set the record are powered by Vertex. Since beginning to use Vertex, we have seen a noticeable difference in our dog's strength, stamina, recovery time and muscle mass.

Colby's jumping career started in 2005 at 3 years old. I got a phone call from my dad saying that there was a competition with dogs jumping off a dock. I knew Colby could do that and drove the 3 hours up too Traverse City, Michigan to try out this sport. The first jump Colby had was a 18.03 foot jump. This jump was good enough to win his first wave ever. He proceeded to take 5th place overall. We were hooked at that point. His next competition he received his first Master jump of 20.09 taking 1st place again in the first 3 waves. Colby's third competition was 2005 Dock Dog Nationals. He was entered for Extreme Vertical which he had never done in a competition before. We were the underdogs at this point as the only newbie. We were the first dog to secure a spot in the finals which he did with ease. In the finals we had a number of good dogs we were going against with including the world record holder, Nestle. Colby proceeded to not only win Nationals but also tie the world record at this event. After that Colby set a new world record of 6'11" the next weekend in an ultimate air dogs event. Since this time Colby has achieved an Elite title with 5 jumps over 23 feet and a personal best of 24.06. He has also achieved a new world record in vertical of 7'4" at the Super Retriever Series in Hutto, TX. He is also the 2006 Ultimate Air Dogs Vertical National Champion and Record Holder. He is currently the World Record Holder for Extreme Vertical indoors with a 7'1" jump. He is also the only dog to make the 2007 Super Retriever Series in both distance and vertical 2 years in a row and make the top 6 in both events! In 2006 at the Crown Championship Colby torn his Achilles tendon. Since that time we have done numerous forms of rehab and tired several alternative treatments to keep the tendonitis and inflammation down. I have never come across anything that works quite like Vertex and Power Chow.
I have received several comments from people that have seen my dogs in the last 2 months and have asked what I am doing with them after starting the combination. They have seeming endless energy and recover much faster then I have seen from them in the last 5 years. I attribute our success at this event from the use of Vertex before the event and Power Chow through out the event. I will never be at an event with out these two supplements again!"

The problem here is that a lot of athletes have no knowledge, or very little about supplementation. So, they need to seek professional advice. Our canine athletes are the same. We ask them to perform to their fullest under all kinds of conditions: extreme weather, stress, and sometimes with injuries. Proper supplementation and proper conditioning is the key to getting the most out of your canine athlete. With proper diet and supplementation you can condition your dog to achieve its maximum in muscle development, endurance, energy levels, and recovery time. In my opinion, K9 performance has made the finest canine supplement available today Vertex. This product helped my canine athlete, Anja vom Waldbach, become the most titled Rottweiler in United States Rottweiler Club history. Anja won the 2004, 2005 National Siegerin titles for conformation. She was the 2003 National Schutzhund 2 Champion and 2005 National Schutzhund 3 Champion. Anja also won the 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006 Universal Siegerin titles for the top working and conformation female Rottweiler in the USRC. At the 2005 National Schutzhund Championship she took High in Trial, High H.O.T., High Protection, High Obedience, and High Scoring Female with a score of 287=94, 95, 98a. She achieved all this after battling back from TPLO surgery and two litters. Vertex allowed her to pack on muscle, increase her energy and endurance levels, and radically improve her recovery time. I don't believe she could have done it without Vertex. I want to thank Mike Williams and K9 Performance for developing such an excellent product. I've got to say though Mike, I've got mixed feelings about recommending Vertex. If too many people start using it I may lose my competitive edge."

Accomplishments: Flyer came into Lisa's life in 1998, launching one of the most successful flyball partnerships in NAFA's Region 5 history. Flyer has anchored six Regional Championship teams and has raced in the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge and ESPN Great Outdoor Games appearing on TV several times. Flyer has raced on all three of the teams in region 5 to first run the full course (flyball) in under 16 seconds. There are only 3 teams in Texas and only 19 teams in the WORLD that have accomplished this performance. Flyer is still the core dog on Hyper Flight's A team "Stealth". She is also, at nearly 8 years old, the club's fastest dog still able to post times in the 3.7's with an occasional 3.6 second run for good measure. She is known for her for her blazing box turn, amzing powerful acceleration and consistently driven work ethic. Flyer excells at flyball as that is her owners chosen venue. However she loves to swim for hours, run on the treadmill at full speed (of course), and race for a frisbee any chance she can get. She has been featured on the cover of Dog & Handler magazine, the cover of 2 Published books, and has done print ads for several companies. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I have been using CPN's products Vertex and Power Chow now for 5 years and am thrilled with it's results. My dogs all have great muscle mass, shinny healthy coats and phenomenal stamina. I have raised many dogs on these products, in fact I have even used it on my mothers during their whole pregnancy and rearing of their puppies. I couldn't be happier with CPN's Vertex and Power Chow for many reasons: it's product consistency is wonderful. I never have issues with stomach upset from batch to batch like I have with other products. I get all my products in a timely manner & the CPN company is very friendly and easy to contact. I will continue to use this wonderful product and recommend it to anyone who wants the best out of their performance dogs. This products is by far the best one out there and I don't trust just anything for my dogs! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

He is also a very proven stud dog with all of his puppies excelling at their venues. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I am writing to express how happy I am with your products. I compete in dock diving at the elite level with Pico, my extremely intense belgian tervuren. I need Pico to be in the best possible condition she can be to compete successfully. Dock Dogs events last all day and in any weather and Pico jumps many many times each day. Before I discovered CPN's products, I had problems with Pico in the heat. She gives so much of herself and is so intense that she would overheat quickly. I could not exercise her for more than a few minutes at a time, even in weather that was not all that hot. In addition she was often too excited to drink at competitions but would then go to the hotel and drink bowl after bowl of water, which is not good. I tried adding various products and supplements to her water, but she ignored them all. Some schutzhund friends told me about CPN's products and I began using Vertex, Power Chow2 and their salmon oil. I was extremely pleased with the results. I noticed increased stamina, Pico was much more willing to work and play in the heat and she developed even better muscling and a gorgeous coat with a deeper, richer color. Using PowerChow 2 in her water has inspired her to drink no matter what is going on around her, which was a real relief! This past weekend was a true test for Pico and for the CPN products. Pico was invited to compete in the Dock Dogs World Championships in Hayward Wisconsin. Temperatures soared to record highs. It was over 100 degrees each day. Pico had never experienced weather that hot in her life! Because of the tight schedule the dogs had to be on their marks and ready to go, which meant waiting in the blazing sun for the dogs ahead of you to finish. This is an extremely difficult situation for Pico, as she works herself up into a frenzy watching other dogs jump and I was concerned that she would burn herself out before we even got on the dock. I am pleased and delighted to say that Pico had NO trouble with the heat at all! She was as energetic on the third day of competing in the intense heat as she was on the first! It was obvious that some dogs were getting tired by the third day, but Pico had a lot left in the tank by the end of the competition. I am very sure that if it were not for Vertex and PowerChow2, the results would've been very different for us at this competition. Anna
