July 20, 2009 - The ink has dried and the tails are wagging in approval of the newest 2009 STHIL Dogs & Logs World Championship sponsor, STEADFAST^® CANINE by Arenus. STEADFAST^® CANINE is the exclusive canine health supplement of the DockDogs Championship which is slated for July 23 - 26 in Stillwater, MN which brings canine athletes together from across the globe.

DockDogs, headquartered in Medina, OH, is the independent governing and sanctioning body for regional, national and international dock jumping performance sports. “DockDogs is pleased to have Arenus as a sponsor of this event,” said Grant Reeves, CEO of DockDogs. “It was a clear choice to partner with STEADFAST^® CANINE as the exclusive canine health supplement of DockDogs since the product supports top canine performers.” 

Arenus, a division of Novus Nutrition Brands, LLC, creates products that draw upon over 15 years of proven research, field studies and expertise in animal health and nutrition from Novus Nutrition Brands’ parent company, NOVUS International, Inc. 

“Arenus is excited to be a first year sponsor of the Dogs & Logs event. DockDogs is a fantastic event that pushes the physical and mental envelopes of these canine athletes. The Arenus supplement, STEADFAST^® CANINE, is a product that supports not only your companion’s joints, but also bone, ligaments and tendons so that they can achieve their genetic potential,” said Celeste Mohatt, marketing manager for Arenus.

STEADFAST^® CANINE takes a holistic approach to supporting a dog’s entire joint system including bone, ligaments and tendons. STEADFAST^® CANINE contains the ingredient NEM^®, the natural membrane from eggshells, and is a unique joint support matrix that provides relief from occasional joint discomfort associated with normal daily activity. NEM^® supplies a holistic array of supportive components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, desmosine, amino acids and peptides. The second ingredient, TêlaFIRM^® is an advanced micro-ingredient system of organic chelated minerals that helps to optimize the enzyme systems responsible for supporting healthy and normal bone remodeling along with the synthesis and cross-linking of important proteins.

STEADFAST^® CANINE is sponsoring the Canine Cantina, a tent where humans and dogs alike can cool off and water will be  provided free of charge. The STEADFAST^® CANINE tent will also serve as a gathering place for Sit Means Sit, a Las Vegas, NV based dog training company.  Sit Means Sit has two dogs competing in the event, Rex, owned and shown by Fred Hassen and Power Puma owned and shown by Alfredo Rivera.
