Kaolin and Pectin for Dogs: Uses, Limitations, and a More Complete Alternative
Kaolin and pectin has been a go-to remedy for dog diarrhoea for decades — and it works, for what it is designed to do. But if you are looking for a supplement that goes beyond symptom relief to actively support your dog’s gut lining, microbiome, and long-term health, the science points clearly to a more…

Leucine for Dogs: Muscle Support, Metabolic Signalling & Healthy Ageing
Leucine is the most potent dietary activator of the mTOR signalling pathway — the master cellular switch that initiates muscle protein synthesis in every mammalian species studied, including dogs. As dogs age, their ability to maintain lean muscle mass declines, leading to sarcopenia — the progressive loss of muscle that visibly thins the hindquarters and…

Cysteine for Dogs: Glutathione Support, Liver Health & Antioxidant Defence
L-cysteine is the rate-limiting amino acid in your dog’s production of glutathione — the most abundant and arguably most important antioxidant in every cell of the body. Without adequate cysteine, glutathione synthesis stalls, leaving the liver, gut lining and immune system vulnerable to oxidative damage. This evidence-based guide explores how L-cysteine at 30 mg per…

Shiitake Mushrooms for Dogs: Immune Support, Antioxidant Protection & Whole-Body Benefits
Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are among nature’s most researched medicinal fungi, delivering a unique combination of immune-modulating beta-glucans, the “longevity vitamin” ergothioneine, and the cholesterol-lowering compound eritadenine. This article examines the peer-reviewed evidence — including direct canine research — behind shiitake’s bioactive compounds, their mechanisms of action, and how they support immune function, antioxidant defence…

Resistant Starch for Dogs: Gut Health, Butyrate Production & Prebiotic Benefits
Resistant starch escapes digestion in the small intestine and reaches the colon intact, where it fuels beneficial bacteria and drives butyrate production — the short-chain fatty acid most important for canine gut barrier integrity and immune function. This evidence-based guide examines the five RS types, what canine research actually shows, and how to optimise resistant…

Lecithin for Dogs: Gut Health, Bioavailability and Joint Support
Sunflower lecithin delivers phospholipids essential for cell membrane integrity, intestinal mucus barrier function and fat-soluble nutrient absorption in dogs. As a natural emulsifier in Bonza’s Bounce joint support supplement, lecithin enhances the bioavailability of lipophilic active ingredients including curcumin, Boswellia and ASU — ensuring these compounds reach the tissues where they are needed most.

GreenDroitin for Dogs — Plant-Based Chondroitin Alternative for Joint Health
GreenDroitin® is a next-generation plant-derived chondroitin sulphate extracted from Tremella fuciformis fungus. Peer-reviewed research demonstrates superior intestinal absorption, chondroprotective activity in osteoarthritis models, and ADAMTS-5 enzyme inhibition — all without animal-sourced ingredients. This evidence-based guide examines the science behind GreenDroitin® and why Bonza chose it for its Bounce and Boost joint-support formulations.

Potato Starch for Dogs: Energy, Resistant Starch & Gut Health Benefits
Potato starch (Solanum tuberosum) is far more than a filler in your dog’s supplement. Its digestible fraction provides readily available glucose for energy, while its resistant starch fraction escapes digestion entirely — reaching the colon where it fuels butyrate-producing bacteria and supports gut barrier integrity. This evidence-based guide examines how both fractions contribute to your…
