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 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 alongside glucosamine, chondroitin, and prebiotics in a multi-mechanism approach to canine joint health.
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 Bioactive Bites alongside glucosamine, chondroitin, and anti-inflammatory botanicals for multi-pathway joint support.
Calsporin® contains Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544, a spore-forming probiotic with specific EU regulatory approval for dogs and over a decade of canine-specific research. Unlike standard strains that degrade during manufacturing and digestion, its protective spore coat ensures it reaches your dog's gut alive — where six peer-reviewed studies show it increases microbial diversity, improves faecal quality, boosts short-chain fatty acid production, and reduces harmful gut metabolites. Discover why this probiotic is the foundation of Bonza's "One Gut. Whole Dog." approach to whole-body health through the microbiome.
This article explores how rosehip oil works, the science behind its benefits, safe dosage guidelines, and how to use it both topically and orally to optimise your dog’s health and vitality.
Rosehips are a scientifically supported, holistic powerhouse for canine health. Their potent blend of antioxidants, flavonoids, galactolipids, and essential fatty acids provides broad-spectrum support for joints, liver, skin, and immune function.
