Resistant Starch for Dogs: Gut Health, Butyrate Production & Prebiotic Benefits

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 starch intake alongside other prebiotic substrates for whole-body health.

Lecithin for Dogs: Gut Health, Bioavailability and Joint Support

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® 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 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 dog's health, and why Bonza includes potato starch alongside potato fibre in Bounce and Boost for complementary gut support.

Potato Fibre for Dogs: Gut Health, Prebiotic Benefits & Digestive Support

Potato Fibre for Dogs: Gut Health, Prebiotic Benefits & Digestive Support

Potato fibre is a moderately fermentable, multi-component fibre that delivers prebiotic benefits through sustained short-chain fatty acid production and selective enrichment of beneficial gut bacteria in dogs. Canine research demonstrates linear increases in butyrate, acetate and propionate alongside increased Faecalibacterium abundance — without compromising nutrient digestibility or stool quality. Discover why this functional fibre does double duty in Bonza Bounce (8.00%) and Boost (7.00%) as both a gut-health contributor and a natural formulation aid.
