Itchy skin. Stiff joints. Anxiety that has no obvious trigger. The hidden signs of poor gut health in dogs rarely look digestive, which is why most owners miss them. This evidence-based guide helps you recognise the obvious and hidden symptoms, understand what they mean, and know when to act.
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® 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 (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 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.
Your dog's gut microbiome isn't just about digestion — through eight scientifically documented gut-organ axes, it communicates directly with the immune system, brain, heart, skin, joints, liver and more. "One Gut. Whole Dog." is the philosophy behind every Bonza product: nourish the gut microbiome first, and the whole dog benefits.
