Kynosil® for Dogs: Bioavailable Silicium for Joint Mobility, Bone Strength & Connective Tissue Support
Silicon is the third most abundant trace mineral in your dog’s body, yet most joint supplements completely overlook it. This essential mineral drives the collagen synthesis and cross-linking that holds joints, bones, skin and coat together — but dietary silicon is notoriously poorly absorbed. Kynosil® solves this with patented mesoporous silica technology delivering 380× greater…

Chondroitin Sulphate for Dogs: Joint Mobility, Inflammation & Whole-Body Support
Chondroitin sulphate is one of the most widely supplemented glycosaminoglycans in veterinary joint care — but its benefits extend well beyond cartilage. This guide examines how chondroitin inhibits destructive enzymes, supports cartilage hydration, protects the bladder lining, contributes to corneal health, and may modulate the gut microbiome. We also explore why Bonza chose GreenDroitin®, a…

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organosulphur compound that provides bioavailable sulphur — the third most abundant mineral in the mammalian body and an essential building block for cartilage, collagen, and the antioxidant glutathione. Research demonstrates that MSM inhibits NF-κB inflammatory signalling, protects cartilage from degeneration in osteoarthritis models, and supports intestinal barrier integrity through…

Benefits of Glucosamine HCl for Dogs – Gut-Joint Axis Support
Glucosamine HCl is an amino sugar that provides the essential building block for cartilage repair in dogs with osteoarthritis. This evidence-based guide covers how glucosamine works, its connection to the gut-joint axis, dosage guidelines, and why Bonza selects vegan-sourced glucosamine HCl over the sulphate form.

Hyaluronic Acid for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support
Hyaluronic acid is the principal lubricant in your dog’s joints — and its concentration declines significantly as osteoarthritis progresses. This evidence-based guide explores how oral HA supplementation restores synovial fluid quality, reduces inflammatory biomarkers, and why its absorption depends entirely on your dog’s gut microbiome. Discover the science behind joint lubrication and how it works…

Avocado-Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) for Dogs: Joint Protection & Mobility Support
Avocado-soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) are a natural plant extract with direct canine evidence of cartilage protection, inflammation reduction, and subchondral bone preservation. ASU’s phytosterols also support gut barrier integrity through the gut-joint axis. Bonza includes ASU in Bounce Supplements alongside glucosamine, chondroitin, and anti-inflammatory botanicals for multi-pathway joint support.

Hypoallergenic Dog Food for Sensitive Stomachs: Why Gut Health Is the Missing Piece
The science is clear: ingredient elimination alone is not enough. Research consistently shows that dogs with atopic dermatitis have significantly depleted gut bacteria and lower levels of the protective short-chain fatty acids that maintain skin barrier integrity. This guide examines the peer-reviewed evidence behind the gut-skin axis and provides a practical framework for choosing a…

How Dogs Actually Digest Plant Ingredients
an dogs actually digest plant ingredients? The peer-reviewed science is clear — and it goes far beyond simple tolerance. Dogs carry up to seven times more copies of the AMY2B starch-digestion gene than wolves, while their gut microbiome deploys an average of 71 carbohydrate-active enzymes per bacterial species to break down complex plant fibres. Together,…

How to Restore Your Dog’s Gut Health After Antibiotics: An Evidence-Based Guide
Antibiotics save lives — but research shows they also inflict significant damage on your dog’s gut microbiome, depleting beneficial bacteria and impairing recovery for weeks or even months. This evidence-based guide explains what commonly prescribed antibiotics do to the canine gut, how long recovery really takes, and the nutritional strategies proven to support microbiome rebuilding…
