On the engine, Rescue Fire DepartmentWith Hearts 4 Heroes USA
Cans in the hands of the crews who run toward it.
Hearts 4 Heroes USA was started by firefighters and EMS to look after the people who show up on the worst day of someone else's life, and they help get service dogs to veterans who've served this country. Through them, we've put more than 5,000 cans of Underdog on engines, in ambulances and in station fridges.
From Veterans Day through Black Friday, every 12-pack you buy sends another case. Subscriptions count. Every case, every month.
For those with something to prove
Built for the people who show up.
The firehouse
Firefighters, EMTs, police and dispatch. Steady through a 24 on, and you know exactly what's in the can.
The jobsite
Framers, electricians, plumbers, operators. First coffee to pickup time, without the 2 PM slump.
The base
Active duty, Guard and reserve. Early formations and long days. Informed Sport Certified, every batch screened for 250+ banned substances.
The hospital floor
Nurses, techs and docs working twelves. Clear-headed at hour ten, not jittery at hour two.
The long haul
Drivers, linemen and plow operators. One can that lasts instead of three that don't.
The night shift
Warehouses, plants and security. When the day starts at 10 PM, you need fuel that doesn't quit at midnight.
Read the label on any other can. Then read ours.

Gas-station energy runs out before the shift does.
Most energy drinks spike you in 45 minutes, then drop you right when the day gets heavy. Two caffeine sources release at different speeds, so you get a flatter, longer curve from minute 20 to hour 5.
5 reasons crews switch to Underdog.
If you're grabbing a can at the gas station on the drive in and another at break, here's what changes.
No more 2 p.m. crash
Two caffeine sources release at different speeds, so the back half of the shift feels like the front half.
Focus, not just a buzz
Lion's Mane + Alpha-GPC keep you sharp when the work needs your attention, not just your hands.
Cheaper than the counter
$2.00 a can on subscription, delivered to your door. Stock the cooler once a month and skip the stop on the way in.
You know what's in it
Zero sugar, no artificial colors, no proprietary blends. Informed Sport Certified, every batch.

Why we built it
My dad built his dream with his hands.
I grew up in a blue collar house in Mass. My dad put in 25 years in the union, then started his own wood flooring company.
Underdog is built for him, and for everyone still out there doing it. Case for a Case is our way of saying thank you to the people who answer the call.

Questions from the crew.
How does Case for a Case work?
From Veterans Day (Nov 11) through Black Friday (Nov 27), for every 12-pack you order on drinkunderdog.com, one-time or subscription, we donate a 12-pack to our nonprofit partner Hearts 4 Heroes USA. The 4-case Insider counts as four.
Who is Hearts 4 Heroes USA?
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit started by firefighters and EMS. They support first responders, with a focus on their mental health, and help get service dogs to veterans. We've donated more than 5,000 cans through them so far.
How much caffeine is in a can?
249mg total, time-released from two sources: 175mg green tea caffeine and 74mg di-caffeine malate. That gives you an extended curve instead of a single 30-minute spike.
Is it really banned-substance tested?
Yes. Every batch is Informed Sport Certified, screened for 250+ substances on the WADA prohibited list.
