DURANGO, CO (April 15, 2015) –

Zuke’s® , a Colorado-based manufacturer of natural, wholesome dog treats, has teamed up with DockDogs®, the premier competitive dock jumping performance sport for dogs of any shape, size or breed, to promote, enhance and support the increasingly popular sport of dock diving.  Zuke’s® is sponsoring two 40-foot competition docks at 50 events nationwide as part of their support of the 2015 tour.

Now in its fifteenth year, DockDogs® draws 3.5 million spectators to its 230 sanctioned events throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. Zuke’s® sponsorship of this sport underscores the brand’s devotion to supporting the canine-parent bond that is established and nurtured through training and quality time together.

“DockDogs® brings together such passionate dog lovers, dedicated to staying active and healthy with their pups, that we are thrilled to be able to support the organization at a national level for the second year in a much bigger way,” said Chris Meiering, Director of Innovation for Zuke’s®. “We wish each competitor a successful year and look forward to seeing you all at the dock!”
