MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organosulphur compound that provides bioavailable sulphur — the third most abundant mineral in the mammalian body and an essential building block for cartilage, collagen, and the antioxidant glutathione. Research demonstrates that MSM inhibits NF-κB inflammatory signalling, protects cartilage from degeneration in osteoarthritis models, and supports intestinal barrier integrity through upregulation of tight junction proteins. Bonza includes MSM across three products to support the gut-joint axis as part of a comprehensive, multi-pathway approach to canine joint health.

Hyaluronic Acid for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support

Hyaluronic Acid for Dogs: Joint Mobility & Inflammation Support

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) for Dogs: Joint Protection & Mobility Support

Avocado-Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) for Dogs: Joint Protection & Mobility Support

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.

Hypoallergenic Dog Food for Sensitive Stomachs: Why Gut Health Is the Missing Piece

Hypoallergenic Dog Food - Why Gut Health Is the Missing Piece

The science is clear: ingredient elimination alone is not enough. Research consistently shows that dogs with atopic dermatitis have significantly depleted gut bacteria and lower levels of the protective short-chain fatty acids that maintain skin barrier integrity. This guide examines the peer-reviewed evidence behind the gut-skin axis and provides a practical framework for choosing a hypoallergenic diet that addresses both the triggers and the underlying gut dysfunction most guides ignore.

How Dogs Actually Digest Plant Ingredients

How Dogs Actually Digest Plant Ingredients

an dogs actually digest plant ingredients? The peer-reviewed science is clear — and it goes far beyond simple tolerance. Dogs carry up to seven times more copies of the AMY2B starch-digestion gene than wolves, while their gut microbiome deploys an average of 71 carbohydrate-active enzymes per bacterial species to break down complex plant fibres. Together, these two systems produce short-chain fatty acids that fuel gut barrier integrity, immune regulation, and metabolic health. This article examines the genetic, microbial, and clinical evidence behind canine plant processing.
