What is collagen?
Puptons collagen powder is made from 100% bovine collagen peptides. It is completely natural, with no additives, flavourings or preservatives.
Collagen is the most abundant protein found in dogs. For this reason, it forms the basis of their skin, bones, joints, muscle and connective tissues.
Benefits of collagen for dogs
Collagen is involved in so many processes that its benefits are numerous. Most commonly, though, it assists with the following:
- Supports joint health and mobility
- Prevents joint related injuries
- Improves skin hydration
- Contributes to a glossier, shinier coat
- Aids with digestion
- Boosts appetite
Does my dog need collagen?
For dog owners, collagen is probably one of, if not the, most versatile supplements around. It not only benefits joint health but also the condition of your dog's skin and coat, plus its digestion and more.
Joint health
The majority of your dog’s tendons, ligaments and cartilage are made from collagen. So, if your dog’s joint health is a priority – whether there is an existing joint concern, or you want to protect against future issues – then adding a pure source of collagen to your dog’s diet can only be helpful.
Skin & coat
If you are looking for a natural ingredient to hydrate your dog’s skin and add some shine to its coat, then collagen is the perfect choice. It is found in the dermis layer of the skin and helps to promote both skin elasticity and hair growth.
Digestion
Collagen plays a central role in repairing and maintaining the lining of the digestive tract. This helps to minimise the inflammation that can cause your dog pain and discomfort, and it also reduces the presence of unwanted symptoms such as diarrhoea and excessive wind.
Why use collagen powder for dogs?
If you want a 100% pure and natural bovine collagen for your dog – containing the most bioavailable peptides – then this collagen supplement is for you. It contains no additives, preservatives, colours or flavourings.
If you are using it to support your dog’s joint health, then it can be used as a standalone supplement or alongside our market leading joint formula: Total Joint Care. Alternatively, you can make your own joint formula by combining collagen with green lipped mussel powder for dogs, MSM powder for dogs or glucosamine powder for dogs.
Safety of collagen for dogs
Collagen is essentially a source of protein from bovine sources and is safe and effective for long term use in dogs.
