STAMINA Dog Roll
STAMINA dog rolls are made in New Zealand from NZ sourced fresh meat and have been specifically formulated by New Zealand animal scientists for NZ working farm dogs.
Provides working farm dogs with sustained energy and endurance, even during the longest working day. Contains fresh NZ meat to provide the high protein, high energy, nutrient-dense diet that working dogs need to perform at their best. 100% nutritionally complete.

Pack size: 3kg x 6 (chilled) dog rolls
STAMINA is packed full of fat and protein for your working dog and is low in carbohydrates. Here’s why...
Benefits of High Fat
Science tells us that when dogs are fed the right diet, they use the fat as their main energy source during exercise. This process is known as ‘fat adaptation’ and gives dogs more sustained energy over a longer period.
Since working dogs need a high-fat diet to perform at their best, STAMINA contains a high-fat content of 45%.
STAMINA’s fresh meat content allows for the highest level of fat content in a high-performance dog food.
- High fat, when paired with high protein and low carbohydrates, enables fat adaptation, enabling higher & more sustained energy levels
- Frees up fatty acids for energy, so more limited sources of energy (including muscle glycogen) are spared, and fatigue is delayed
- Increases palatability, so enough calories of energy-dense food are ingested without large volumes needing to be eaten (less risk of bloat and torsion)
- Enhances taste which encourages eating during fatigue and stress
- Enables food to be digested more easily for maximum delivery of nutrients
Benefits of High Protein
STAMINA has 40% protein. This helps to:
- Reduce muscle fatigue, helping limit bone and soft tissue injuries
- Build, maintain and repair muscles
- Maintain many other normal body functions
- Replenish the high quantities of protein used by working dogs due to increased protein synthesis and degradation caused by prolonged exercise
Benefits of Low Carbohydrates
- Enables fat adaptation, resulting in higher & more sustained energy levels
- Minimal fillers for a more natural product

How often and how much to feed your working farm dog depends on several factors, such as breed, body condition, season and workload.
How often?
Ideally, working dogs should be feed twice daily, however where this is not practical, once in the evening is the preferred alternative.
How much?
Generally, working dogs should be fed 2% – 3% of their body weight daily. More than this is not recommended to avoid the risk of binding, bloat and/or torsion.
If a dog needs more than this to regain condition, it is better to feed smaller portions twice a day. A dog’s condition will indicate when the feed rate is correct.
| Breed | Recommended Daily Feed Rate (g) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approx dog weight | IN WORK recommended daily serving | Resting Range (kg feed) | ||
| Extreme work (kg feed) | Work (kg feed) | |||
| Heading Dog (typical female) | 18 - 24 kg | 980g | 790g | 530g - 660g |
| Heading Dog (typical male) | 20 - 29 kg | 1.13kg | 860g | 570g - 760g |
| Huntaway (typical female) | 25 - 30 kg | 1.16kg | 1kg | 680g - 780g |
| Huntaway (typical male) | 28 - 35 kg | 1.3kg | 1.1kg | 740g - 870g |
A combination of STAMINA dog food can be used to feed your working farm dog (STAMINA Dog roll and STAMINA Station Blocks).
Meat, meat by-products and fat from beef, chicken, lamb and pork, milk protein, canola oil, rice, citrus extract, natural gelling agent, preservative, vitamins and minerals, acidity regulator, salt, prebiotics, antioxidant.
| Metabolisable energy (kCal/kg food) | 2500 | |
| As fed | As dry matter | |
|---|---|---|
| Crude protein | 15.2% | 41.2% |
| Fat | 19.0% | 51.5% |
| Carbohydrate | 1.0% | 2.7% |
| Ash | 1.7% | 4.6% |
STAMINA dog food is formulated by NZ animal scientists for the specific nutritional requirements of NZ working dogs. The result is optimum dog nutrition that:
- provides higher & more sustained energy levels
- enhances body condition & immunity
- promotes muscle building & repair (for faster recovery)
- helps limit bone & soft tissue injuries through reduced muscle fatigue
- is easy to handle and feed (no cutting up carcasses)
- is a natural product (protein & nutrient rich, made from fresh NZ meat)
- reduces risk of bloat & torsion (energy-dense, smaller portions provide sufficient calories)
- encourages eating at times of fatigue & stress (highly palatable)
- is more digestible (maximum nutrient delivery& less faecal bulk to hamper performance)
- is specialised working farm dog food made in NZ
