Cysteine for Dogs: Glutathione Support, Liver Health & Antioxidant Defence
L-cysteine is the rate-limiting amino acid in your dog’s production of glutathione — the most abundant and arguably most important antioxidant in every cell of the body. Without adequate cysteine, glutathione synthesis stalls, leaving the liver, gut lining and immune system vulnerable to oxidative damage. This evidence-based guide explores how L-cysteine at 30 mg per…

Shiitake Mushrooms for Dogs: Immune Support, Antioxidant Protection & Whole-Body Benefits
Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are among nature’s most researched medicinal fungi, delivering a unique combination of immune-modulating beta-glucans, the “longevity vitamin” ergothioneine, and the cholesterol-lowering compound eritadenine. This article examines the peer-reviewed evidence — including direct canine research — behind shiitake’s bioactive compounds, their mechanisms of action, and how they support immune function, antioxidant defence…

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…

Dog Gut Health: How to Recognise Symptoms and Know When to Act
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.

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® 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 (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…

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…

One Gut. Whole Dog.
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.
