Belly

Supplements are daily soft-chew supplements for dogs. Every Bite is built on a gut-health foundation, the Biotics Triad of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, then layered with targeted bioactives that work along a specific gut-organ axis to support a particular concern, from digestion and skin to calm, joints and senior vitality.

Belly is the digestive support chew in the Supplements range. It is formulated for dogs whose digestion needs extra care: dogs with sensitive stomachs, loose or inconsistent stools, frequent wind or a tummy that is easily unsettled by change. It combines the Biotics Triad with digestive botanicals, L-Glutamine and clinoptilolite to support comfortable digestion, consistent stools and a resilient gut lining.

It is the three-part gut foundation behind every Bite. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria, probiotics add more of them, and postbiotics deliver the beneficial compounds they produce. Together they support microbial diversity and the gut barrier, the base every other system builds on.

The gut is in constant two-way communication with the rest of the body along pathways known as axes: gut-metabolic, gut-immune, gut-skin, gut-brain and more. Each Bite is built to work through a specific axis, which is how supporting the gut can support digestion, skin, mood, joints and beyond. Explore the gut-organ axes.

Belly is a food supplement, not a veterinary medicine, and it is not a treatment for any digestive condition. Many owners of dogs with a diagnosed condition give Belly daily to support digestive comfort alongside the care plan their vet has put in place. Talk to your vet before starting, particularly if your dog takes medication, and never stop or change a prescribed treatment without their advice.

Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite mineral with a cage-like structure, declared as a technological feed additive. In the digestive tract it binds compounds such as ammonia and bacterial endotoxins, supporting their natural clearance. At 72.13mg per chew it works alongside the rest of the formula to support a comfortable, settled gut.

Choose by the concern that matters most: Belly for digestion, Biotics for microbiome balance, Block for skin and coat, Bliss for calm, Bounce for joints and mobility, Banish for flea-season skin and coat support, and Boost for the senior years. If digestion is your main concern, Belly is the place to start. You can compare all seven Bites on our Supplements page.

Supplements are made without meat, wheat, soy, corn or artificial additives, which suits many dogs with sensitivities. They are formulated for dogs from 12 weeks and older. If your dog has a medical condition or takes medication, check with your vet before starting.

Belly is made without meat, wheat, soy or corn, so it contains no chicken or beef, the proteins most often behind food sensitivities in dogs. That makes it a gentle daily choice for many sensitive dogs. If your dog has a diagnosed allergy, check the full ingredient list above before starting, and have a word with your vet if you are unsure.

Plant-based by consequence, not by trend. The most common food sensitivities in dogs are animal proteins like chicken and beef, so a plant-based formula sidesteps them, which is what makes Belly gentle on sensitive dogs. It suits vegan households too, but the reason we make it this way is health, not ideology.

For pregnant or nursing dogs, check with your vet before starting. Their nutritional needs change during this time, and your vet can advise on what is right for them.

Yes. Supplements are food supplements made from food-grade ingredients at gentle, effective levels, formulated by our nutritionist and approved by our veterinary advisory board. They are supplements, not medicines, and are designed to complement a balanced diet rather than replace veterinary care. They are made for daily, long-term use, with no need to cycle on and off. If your dog has a health condition or takes medication, check with your vet before starting.

A small number of dogs have slightly softer stools or a little more wind in the first few days as the microbiome adjusts to the probiotic and prebiotic fibres. This usually settles within one to two weeks. If your dog has a known sensitivity to any listed ingredient, check with your vet before starting.

Belly was formulated by Bonza's founder, Glendon Lloyd, who holds Diplomas in Canine Nutrition and Dog Nutrigenomics, both with Distinction, and it is approved by our Veterinary Advisory Board. Every ingredient is selected on published research and included at a meaningful level.

Yes. Every active is chosen for a reason and included at a meaningful level, not a token pinch. Belly is nutritionist formulated and vet approved, and you can see each ingredient, its inclusion level and the published research behind it in the full formula above.

Cold extrusion is a low-temperature way of shaping the chews. Every Bite is formed at just 38°C, close to a dog's body temperature, rather than the high heat of conventional cooking and standard extrusion. That matters because heat degrades many of the actives we use, from prebiotic fibres and omega-3 oils to vitamins and delicate plant compounds. Keeping the process gentle helps preserve them, so the levels shown in the formula are protected through manufacture.

Many owners notice firmer, more consistent stools and less wind within two to four weeks as the microbiome begins to shift. The botanical actives build over four to eight weeks of daily use, and the fullest picture usually emerges over two to three months. Giving Belly consistently each day matters more than giving more.

Any time of day. Many owners give it with a main meal, which suits dogs with sensitive stomachs and makes the routine easy to keep. Consistency matters more than timing.

Belly is a food supplement rather than a medicine, and it generally sits comfortably alongside a balanced diet and other supplements. If your dog takes medication, including antibiotics, steroids or other treatment for a digestive condition, check with your vet first, as they can advise on timing and suitability.

Give Belly daily by your dog's weight: one Bite up to 10kg, two Bites for 10 to 20kg, three Bites for 20 to 30kg, and four Bites over 30kg. Give as a treat or with food, and keep to the same time each day. Consistency matters more than giving more.

Belly is made from food-grade ingredients at gentle levels, so an extra Bite now and then is not a cause for alarm. Stick to the daily amount for your dog's weight for the best results. If your dog ever gets into a whole pack, a large one-off amount may cause temporary loose stools, so keep an eye on them and contact your vet if you have any concerns.

Yes. Many owners pair Belly with one other targeted Bite, such as Block for skin and coat or Bliss for calm, as a daily routine. When combining more than one, introduce them gradually and follow the feeding guide on each pack by your dog's weight.

Yes. Supplements are a daily soft chew given as a treat or with food, so they fit alongside whatever your dog already eats, including our Superfoods & Ancient Grains. If you are introducing more than one Bite, add them gradually.
