Three, four, five days a week from October through to February. Hard ground, heavy cover, cold water, long retrieves. The body takes a hammering - and what you're feeding needs to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is what goes in the bowls at Kirkbourne from the start of the season. On top of the Working Dog Oil. On top of the Joint and Muscle supplement. When the dogs are actually in work and need that little bit extra, this is the one we add in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut it's not just a season supplement. If you've got a dog that struggles to hold condition - a lean, light-framed spaniel that burns through everything you feed it - this is worth knowing about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe don't stock what we don't believe in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing on the Kirkbourne shelf got there without Darren watching it work first. He's seen enough products make big claims and deliver nothing. This one earned its place - not because of what's on the label, but because of what he's seen in the dogs through a full season of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in it and why it matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree ingredients.

The amino acids in linseed - including arginine - kick-start protein synthesis. Branched chain amino acids support repair. It's the nutritional foundation for muscle recovery, not a stimulant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurmeric (curcumin)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- the science behind this one is solid. Curcumin has been shown to improve antioxidant status, support mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress and improve vascular supply - all of which matter when a muscle is repairing after hard work. It also works on the inflammation cycle directly, helping the body move through damage and into recovery faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- activates curcumin's bioavailability.

No antioxidants.

It won't wire a dog up or add a buzz. What it does is build and maintain muscle condition gradually, through slow-release nutrition and the right amino acid profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dogs in hard work, that means better recovery between sessions and muscle that holds up across a long season. For dogs that struggle to carry condition - light-framed, fast-metabolism types that never quite fill out - it gives the body the building blocks it's been missing. Not overnight. Over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's a different job from the Joint and Muscle supplement, which is aimed at older dogs and joint mobility.
