Ingredients

Maintenance and Recovery™

A daily maintenance strategy supports physiologic recovery, helps manage inflammatory pathways, and promotes sustained mobility-allowing the dog to remain mission-capable rather than entering a cycle of injury and treatment.

Rather than targeting a single enzymatic pathway, this formulation supports:

  • Inflammatory balance
  • Neuromuscular comfort
  • Connective tissue resilience
  • Recovery physiology

This systems-based approach aligns with current trends in canine rehabilitation and performance medicine.

Corydalis

Corydalis Yanhusuo

Many K9 injuries are not purely inflammatory-they include nerve involvement. Provides:

  • Neuromuscular comfort
  • Better gait normalization
  • Reduced chronic pain wind-up
  • Maintained mental clarity (critical vs. sedating pain meds)

This ingredient gives the formula its functional pain-modulating advantage over standard joint supplements.

Curcumin

Curcuma Longa

Valuable for:

  • Early osteoarthritis prevention in high-impact dogs
  • Post training inflammation control
  • Cruciate ligament strain recovery
  • Spinal and lumbosacral inflammation
  • Muscle microtrauma from explosive work

  • Maintain stride length and drive
  • Reduce stiffness after rest (working dog startup lag)

Curcumin is the foundation anti-inflammatory in the stack.

Boswellia

Boswellia Serrata

Inhibit 5-Lox-leukotriene production

Ideal for:

  • Slower progression of working dog osteoarthritis
  • Managing elbow dysplasia stress
  • Supporting long careers in patrol, detection, and sport dogs

  • Patrol K9

    "After long training days my dog used to come out of the kennel stiff and slow to warm up. Since adding this product to his daily routine, he's moving freely again and hitting the field ready to work. We haven't lost a single training day to soreness this cycle".

    Sgt. Steve M.

  • Field trial Labradors

    "I have been using this product with my 2 working labs for several weeks now. One is 10 and the other is 7 with bilateral TPLO surgeries in the last 3 years. The results have been fantastic! They can train, retrieve and run around as much as when they were competitive field trial dogs. Excellent product and I will continue to use."

    Chris V.

  • Retired Police Dog

    "Great product!!! My retired K9 has significant wear and tear in her hips and shoulders, and it's made it hard for her to get around. I gave this product a shot and was NOT disappointed! She turned a corner and is moving around like she used to".

    Officer Chris G.

  • Search and Rescue

    "Our SAR deployments can mean hours of navigating rough terrain. Previously, we'd see delayed soreness the next day. Since introducing this product, my dog recovers faster and is ready to redeploy when needed. It's now part of our 72-hour post deploy dosing.

    Jeff T.

  • Dual Purpose K9

    "In bite work and apprehension training, the explosive movements can be hard on a dogs body. We started using this product as part of our conditioning program, and the recovery between sessions has improved dramatically. He's just as intense, but much less fatigued afterward."

    Officer Aaron S.

  • K9 Unit

    "We manage several working dogs at different ages and workloads. This product has become a staple across the entire unit. The younger dogs maintain better mobility during heavy development, and our seasoned dogs stay operational longer without showing the usual wear".

    Sgt John M.

FAQ

Maintenance and Recovery — Daily Support for the Tactical Canine Athlete

What is Maintenance and Recovery™?

Maintenance and Recovery™ is a daily-use performance support supplement designed specifically for working dogs. It helps manage the physical stress associated with training, deployments, detection work, bite work, tracking, and repetitive impact activities.

It is formulated to support normal inflammatory response, mobility, and recovery—without sedation or performance suppression.

How is this different from a joint supplement?

Joint supplements focus on structure (cartilage, synovial fluid, joint integrity).

Maintenance and Recovery™ focuses on function and recovery, supporting:

• Muscle and soft tissue resilience

• Normal post-exertion soreness response

• Mobility after intense work cycles

• Whole-body recovery between training days

Joint products build the frame.

Maintenance and Recovery™ keeps the athlete moving.

Can it be used during heavy training or deployment cycles?

Yes. Although you can use this every day (gold standard), it is especially crucial during a 72-hour train cycle (The day your dog trains and 2 days after). For instance, if you train bi-weekly on a Wed, you would administer Wed, Thur and Fri.

It is especially useful during:

• Certification preparation

• Multi-day training blocks

• High repetition bite work

• Extended tracking/search operations

• Environmental stress (heat, cold, hard terrain)

It supports recovery so the dog can maintain consistent performance.

Will this slow my dog down or affect drive?

No.

The formula is designed specifically for operational dogs and does not sedate, dull awareness, or change behavior.

Handlers report dogs remain:

✔ Clear-headed

✔ Engaged

✔ Willing to work

✔ Physically comfortable

Can this be used with my dog’s current joint product?

Yes.

Maintenance and Recovery™ is intended to complement, not replace, structural joint support.

Many agencies use:

• Joint supplement → Long-term joint health

• Maintenance and Recovery™ → Daily recovery and workload support

Is this a replacement for veterinary care or prescribed medications?

No.

Maintenance and Recovery™ is a nutritional support tool, not a drug.

It can be used as part of a veterinarian-directed plan to help maintain normal mobility and comfort but does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or medical management when needed. This product is carried in integrative veterinary practices.

When should I start using it?

Ideally:

• At the start of a working career

• During conditioning phases

• Before visible slowing or stiffness appears

Again this should be administered during and post train (72 hours)

Prevention is easier than rebuilding after injury.

How quickly will I notice a difference

Many handlers observe improvements in:

• Warm-up stiffness

• Willingness to load/jump

• Post-training recovery

• Overall fluid movement

Results vary depending on workload and condition, but consistency is key. Some ingredients take effect within a couple hours.

Is it safe for long-term use?

Yes.

The ingredients are selected for daily use in high-performance dogs and are commonly used to support normal musculoskeletal function over time.

What types of dogs benefit most?

Maintenance and Recovery™ was developed for:

• Patrol / Apprehension dogs

• Detection dogs

• SAR dogs

• Military working dogs

• High-level sport dogs

• Any canine performing repetitive physical work

What problem does this solve for handlers?

Handlers often face:

• “He’s not injured, just not moving right.”

• Lost training days from soreness

• Early physical wear in young, high-drive dogs

• Managing workload without overusing pharmaceuticals

Maintenance and Recovery™ helps bridge the gap between peak performance and preventable breakdown.

How does this help extend a dog’s career?

By supporting:

✔ Daily recovery from repetitive stress

✔ Comfortable mobility through training cycles

✔ Reduced accumulation of workload fatigue

✔ Consistent operational readiness

Healthy recovery = more productive years in service.

How do I administer it?

Administer according to body weight and workload level as directed on the product label. Visit our product page for various dosing protocols.

It can be given with food as part of the dog’s normal feeding routine.

Bottom Line for Handlers

Your dog works like an elite athlete every day.

Maintenance and Recovery™ helps support the physical demands you ask of them—so they can stay healthy, capable, and mission-ready.

About Our Founder

This product started with my own dog. Killian needed something that supported nerves and recovery. When I couldn't find what I was looking for, it was developed.

My life has become deeply rooted in the working dog community. I've spent time involved with law-enforcement programs, trained alongside handlers, and witnessed firsthand the physical and neurological demands placed on these incredible dogs. Their job isn't casual exercise- it's high-impact, high-drive, high-stakes work. They are more than partners-they are protectors, family members, and teammates who give everything without hesitation.

Today, I share my life with my 2 German Shepherds and Rottweiler.
