The HPA Axis in Dogs: How Chronic Stress Rewires Whole-Body Health
The stress system behind your dog’s itching, loose stools and restless nights is often the same one. Here is how the HPA axis works, and how to support it.

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.

Fennel Seeds for Dogs: Digestive Support, Gut Health & Whole-Body Benefits
Fennel seeds deliver carminative, anti-inflammatory and gut barrier-protective benefits for dogs through bioactive compounds led by trans-anethole. Research shows fennel upregulates tight junction proteins, modulates the gut microbiome and attenuates inflammatory signalling — supporting digestive comfort and whole-body wellness from the gut up.

Flaxseed Oil for Dogs: Essential Omega-3, Skin & Coat Health and Anti-Inflammatory Support
Flaxseed oil is the richest plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — an essential omega-3 fatty acid dogs cannot produce and must obtain from their diet. Dogs convert ALA to the longer-chain omega-3s EPA and DPA within days, but cannot reliably produce DHA from ALA alone. In Bonza Boost Bioactive Bites, flaxseed oil at 45…

Choline for Dogs: Liver Health & Cognitive Function
Choline is an essential nutrient that every cell in your dog’s body depends on — from the phospholipids that form cell membranes to the acetylcholine that drives nerve signalling and muscle control. Yet most dog owners have never heard of it. In Bonza Boost Bioactive Bites, polyherbal choline chloride at 208 mg per chewy delivers…

Pectin for Dogs: Gut Health, Immune Modulation & the Gut-Joint Axis
Pectin is a soluble plant fibre that functions as a prebiotic in the canine gut, fuelling beneficial bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids that strengthen the intestinal barrier and reduce systemic inflammation. In Bonza Bounce, pectin works alongside FOS and TruPet® Postbiotic to reinforce the gut-joint axis — lowering the inflammatory burden that accelerates cartilage…

Kynosil® for Dogs: Bioavailable Silicium for Joint Mobility, Bone Strength & Connective Tissue Support
Silicon is the third most abundant trace mineral in your dog’s body, yet most joint supplements completely overlook it. This essential mineral drives the collagen synthesis and cross-linking that holds joints, bones, skin and coat together — but dietary silicon is notoriously poorly absorbed. Kynosil® solves this with patented mesoporous silica technology delivering 380× greater…

Chondroitin Sulphate for Dogs: Joint Mobility, Inflammation & Whole-Body Support
Chondroitin sulphate is one of the most widely supplemented glycosaminoglycans in veterinary joint care — but its benefits extend well beyond cartilage. This guide examines how chondroitin inhibits destructive enzymes, supports cartilage hydration, protects the bladder lining, contributes to corneal health, and may modulate the gut microbiome. We also explore why Bonza chose GreenDroitin®, a…

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…

Benefits of Glucosamine HCl for Dogs – Gut-Joint Axis Support
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 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…
