As the founder and CEO of Bonza, I am challenging one of the most overlooked truths in canine health: the gut is not just part of the system. It is the system. I hold Diplomas in Canine Nutrition and Dog Nutrigenomics, both awarded with Distinction, and I formulate every Bonza recipe in-house alongside our board of canine veterinary nutritionists. The gut microbiome sits at the centre of immune regulation, inflammation, metabolic function and neurological health, yet much of modern dog nutrition still treats food as fuel rather than biology. I am working to change that. At Bonza we take a systems-biology approach to canine nutrition. We design food and supplements that actively shape the microbiome through plant diversity, functional fibres, and named, regulatory-authorised bioactives with full strain-level transparency: the Biotics Triad of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, alongside phytonutrients and adaptogens. Each works through the eight gut-organ axes that connect the gut to the skin, joints, immune system, behaviour, heart, metabolism, liver and longevity. This is about more than better ingredients. It is about redefining food as a controllable input for health outcomes, shifting from reactive care to precision nutrition that supports resilience, longevity and disease prevention. We are building what canine nutrition should have been all along. One Gut. Whole Dog.

Kaolin and Pectin for Dogs: Uses, Limitations, and a More Complete Alternative

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 complete solution. Here is an evidence-based guide to both.

Anti-Aging Supplements for Dogs: A Canine Nutritionist’s Evidence-Based Guide

Anti-Aging Supplements for Dogs — A Canine Nutritionist's Evidence-Based Guide

The science of canine ageing has advanced significantly. We now know that specific compounds can target the biological mechanisms driving decline — from oxidative stress and inflammaging to mitochondrial dysfunction and sarcopenia. This guide examines the evidence behind the most researched anti-aging supplements for dogs, and identifies which ones genuinely earn their place.
