Ever wanted to feel what it be like to be man’s best friend? Well with the help of a GoPro camera, Purina did just that. The top dogs in the world of canine sports descended on Purina Farms this weekend for the 17^th Annual Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals.

This one-of-a-kind competition features a lineup of six canine athletic events testing strength, speed and physical endurance, including Large and Small Dog Agility, Diving Dog, Freestyle Flying Disc, head-to-head Weave-Pole Races, Jack Russell Hurdle Racing and Fetch It, a variation of a long jump. Top competitors from the 2014 Eastern and Western regional events and the 2013 National Champions come together in the National Finals to see who will be named Top Dog.

The Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge highlights Purina Pro Plan’s mission to support active dog owners and their pets by providing them with high-quality nutrition and expert resources to help them perform at their absolute best.

Two-time professional football champion Eli Manning and several athletic dogs demonstrated that our four legged friends are naturally incredible athletes at the “Purina® Pro Plan® MANning vs. DOG Challenge” leading up to the Big Game. This made-for-media competition featured Manning and other human athletes pitted against highly athletic dogs in a variety of physical challenges, including flying disc, weave pole races and high-speed man vs. dog races.

Manning was joined by Dr. Brian Zanghi, Nestle Purina® Canine Sports Nutrition Researcher, and one of the key developers of the Purina® Pro Plan® SPORT PRiME and ReFUEL nutritional supplement bars. Dr. Zanghi discussed the science behind proper canine nutrition, and how the PRiME and ReFUEL nutritional supplement bars can be used to help active canines fuel, perform, and recover safely.
