St. Louis, MO-September 16, 2009 – This year marks a decade of high flying fun as DockDogs celebrates ten years of canine competition. Arenus announces that STEADFAST® CANINE, a joint health supplement from Arenus, will sponsor the 2009 DockDogs National Championship. Scheduled for October 16-18 at King’s Island Resort in Mason, OH, the national championship will be the single largest event that the association has ever hosted. It is estimated that 400 teams and 800 entries will participate. Four pools will be on hand to accommodate the record number of competitors.
DockDogs, headquartered in Medina, OH, is the independent governing and sanctioning body for regional, national and international dock jumping performance sports. Competition events include Big Air, Extreme Vertical and Speed Retrieve. “DockDogs is pleased to have STEADFAST® CANINE as a presenting sponsor of this year’s National Championship,” said Grant Reeves, CEO of DockDogs. “As a sport and an organization DockDogs has grown tremendously in the past ten years and that would not have been possible without the help from our sponsors. The concept of DockDogs is widely appealing to dog owners everywhere as we have seen membership and participation increase steadily within the past 5 years.”
Arenus, a division of Novus Nutrition Brands, LLC, creates products like STEADFAST® CANINE 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.
“STEADFAST® CANINE is pleased to partner with DockDogs to promote the high demand sport of canine dock jumping. It was a rewarding experience to see these canine athletes perform at the DockDogs World Championship in Minnesota,” said Celeste Mohatt, Marketing Manager for Arenus. “We are proud to be back at DockDogs Nationals as the preferred joint health supplement of DockDogs.”
STEADFAST® CANINE is a joint health alternative to the traditional glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. The product plays an important role not just in joint health maintenance, but also supports the integrity of bones, tendons and ligaments. This is crucial for these special athletes and also important for growing puppies and senior dogs prone to facing joint issues.
Arenus representatives will be on hand at the event to answer questions at the STEADFAST® CANINE Cantina, a tent where owners can bring their dog by to enjoy complimentary water. Demonstrations will also be held by Arenus corporate partners Sit Means Sit, a Las Vegas, NV based dog training company.
