Bounce – Bioactive Bites

Bounce is a specialist joint and mobility supplement delivering 10 clinically researched bioactives in a single soft chew, formulated to support the gut-joint axis as well as direct structural joint health. Unlike standard joint supplements that rely on glucosamine and chondroitin alone, Bounce includes named, trademarked compounds like GreenDroitin™ plant-sourced chondroitin, KynoSil® patented silicium complex and DHAgold® Algal Omega-3, each selected for a specific, evidence-based role. Where a typical joint supplement addresses one pathway, Bounce targets joint comfort, cartilage integrity, connective tissue strength, synovial lubrication and healthy inflammatory response simultaneously.

Bounce works through four complementary mechanisms. First, structural building blocks: Glucosamine HCl, GreenDroitin™ chondroitin and Hyaluronic Acid support cartilage matrix, joint cushioning and synovial fluid viscosity. Second, connective tissue support: KynoSil® bioavailable silicium complex and MSM provide the compounds essential for collagen synthesis and tendon integrity. Third, healthy inflammatory response: Boswellia, Turmeric and Black Pepper Extract support the gut-joint axis by supporting healthy inflammatory signalling pathways. Fourth, cellular protection: Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) and DHAgold® Omega-3 support cartilage cell health and help protect joint tissue from oxidative damage. The result is daily, cumulative support working across every dimension of joint health.

Research increasingly shows that the gut microbiome and joint health are directly connected through what scientists call the gut-joint axis. Imbalance in the gut microbiome can increase systemic inflammation that accelerates joint degeneration. Conversely, a well-nourished gut microbiome supports healthy inflammatory regulation throughout the body, including the joints. Bounce includes FibroFos®, chicory root prebiotics and pectin to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting joint health from the inside out through the “One Gut. Whole Dog.” philosophy that underpins all Bonza formulations.

Trademarked ingredients like GreenDroitin™, KynoSil® TruPet® and DHAgold® are specific, researched compounds produced to verified standards, not generic commodity versions. Each comes with its own body of clinical data. This is the difference between “contains chondroitin” and “contains GreenDroitin™ plant-sourced chondroitin sulphate, verified free from animal derivatives and tested for consistency of active sulphation.” You know exactly what is in each chew and exactly why it is there.

KynoSil® is a patented, highly bioavailable form of silicium (silicon) developed specifically to support joint mobility, bone strength and connective tissue integrity in dogs. It sits at the heart of what makes Bounce different from conventional joint supplements.  Most joint products focus on lubrication and surface-level comfort through glucosamine and chondroitin. KynoSil® works at a deeper structural level, acting as a scaffold for collagen and cartilage. Silicon is a key component of the collagen helix, the structural framework that holds joints, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue together. The problem is that silicon levels in the body decline naturally with age, and this decline contributes directly to the long-term structural decay of cartilage and bone that underlies progressive joint degeneration.  What makes KynoSil® exceptional is its bioavailability. Using specialised mesoporous silica technology, it offers absorption levels that far exceed those of standard silicon sources, ensuring the silicium your dog receives is actually available for tissue repair rather than passing through unabsorbed. The clinical research behind KynoSil® supports its role in collagen production, bone remineralisation, bone density and structural stability, with benefits that extend to stronger ligaments, healthier tendons and improved coat, claw and skin condition through increased keratin production. While glucosamine and MSM provide important lubrication and connective tissue support, KynoSil® is formulated to address the foundational structural decline that drives long-term joint deterioration. In Bounce, it works synergistically alongside those compounds rather than replacing them.

Bounce is formulated to support joint comfort and healthy mobility in dogs experiencing age-related stiffness, joint degeneration and arthritic changes. Its multi-pathway approach, combining structural support, anti-inflammatory botanicals and connective tissue nutrients, is designed for daily use as part of a comprehensive joint health programme. Bounce is not a veterinary medicine and does not replace prescription treatment for moderate to severe arthritis. We always recommend discussing any supplement addition with your vet, particularly if your dog is already on medication.

Bounce is suitable as a daily supportive supplement for dogs with hip dysplasia, providing the structural and comfort-supporting nutrients that help maintain joint function alongside veterinary management. The combination of Glucosamine HCl, GreenDroitin™, Hyaluronic Acid and KynoSil® supports the joint structures most affected by dysplasia, while Boswellia and Turmeric support a healthy inflammatory response in the affected joint. As with any condition under veterinary management, we recommend consulting your vet before introducing Bounce.

If your dog is on prescription anti-inflammatory or pain medication, consult your vet before adding Bounce. Bounce’s botanical ingredients, particularly Boswellia and Turmeric, support healthy inflammatory responses through their own pathways, and your vet is best placed to advise on how these interact with your dog’s current treatment plan. Many vets are supportive of natural joint supplements used alongside, or as a step-down from, long-term NSAID use.

Yes. Bounce is formulated to support dogs at every life stage. Young, active dogs and working breeds benefit from the connective tissue and cartilage-supporting compounds that help maintain joint integrity under load. Adult dogs benefit from daily maintenance of joint comfort and flexibility. Senior dogs benefit most comprehensively: the full formulation targets the cartilage thinning, reduced synovial fluid and increased inflammatory burden that characterise age-related joint decline. The dosage adjusts by body weight.

Large and giant breed dogs are disproportionately affected by hip and elbow dysplasia, osteochondrosis and age-related osteoarthritis. Bounce is particularly well suited to these breeds, providing the structural, anti-inflammatory and connective tissue support their joints require. For large breeds, the weight-adjusted dose ensures they receive the full level of every active ingredient.

Yes. For large and giant breeds known to be predisposed to joint conditions, starting Bounce from 12 months of age provides the nutritional foundation to support joint development and long-term structural integrity before signs of wear appear. Prevention is significantly more effective than management once joint degeneration is established. Think of it as building the strongest possible joint structure for the years ahead.

Absolutely. The Bioactive Bites range is designed so each product owns a specific territory. Bounce provides the intensive, targeted joint and mobility support. Boost provides the whole-body daily wellness foundation covering all 8 gut-organ axes. For dogs with significant mobility concerns who also benefit from comprehensive whole-body nutritional support, Boost and Bounce complement each other without unnecessary ingredient duplication. The formulations are designed to work together.

If your dog is on a veterinary-prescribed diet for a specific health condition, we recommend consulting your vet before adding any supplement. Bounce’s ingredients are natural and well-tolerated, but some therapeutic diets have carefully controlled nutrient profiles and your vet is best placed to advise on whether supplementation is appropriate alongside your dog’s specific dietary protocol.

Bounce is suitable for puppies from 12 weeks of age. For puppies of large or giant breeds with known joint predispositions, early nutritional support for developing cartilage and connective tissue can be genuinely valuable. Start with half the recommended dose for the first week to allow the gut microbiome to adapt, then move to the full body-weight-based dose.

While Bounce’s ingredients are natural and generally well-tolerated, we recommend consulting your vet before supplementing pregnant or nursing dogs. Their nutritional requirements differ significantly during this period and should be managed with professional guidance.

Bounce is a specialist joint and mobility supplement: it goes deep on one system with targeted doses of Glucosamine HCl, GreenDroitin™ chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, KynoSil® and joint-specific compounds like Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiables and Boswellia. Boost is the whole-body daily wellness foundation: it covers all 8 gut-organ axes including some joint support, but its primary purpose is comprehensive daily nutritional coverage across every body system. Think of Bounce as the targeted joint specialist and Boost as the daily foundation.

It depends on your dog’s needs. A healthy dog with no joint concerns may only need Boost for complete daily wellness. A dog with arthritis, hip dysplasia or age-related stiffness would benefit significantly from Bounce’s intensive, targeted joint support. For dogs with significant mobility concerns who also want whole-body wellness coverage, using both together provides the most comprehensive support available. The formulations are designed to complement each other without unnecessary duplication.

The recommended dose is 1 chew per 10kg of body weight per day. A 10kg dog gets 1 chew daily, a 20kg dog gets 2 chews, a 30kg dog gets 3 chews, and dogs over 30kg get 4 chews daily. Each chew weighs 3g and can be given as a treat, broken into pieces over food, or fed alongside a meal. Consistency is key: the cumulative, daily-foundation approach is what makes Bounce most effective.

Bounce can be given at any time of day. Many owners find it most useful to give Bounce in the morning, supporting joint comfort from the start of the day when stiffness is often at its most pronounced. Consistency matters more than timing: establishing a daily habit is the foundation of Bounce’s cumulative approach.

Some benefits, particularly improved ease of movement during morning routines and reduced hesitation at stairs, may be noticeable within 2 to 4 weeks. The fuller benefits of cartilage and connective tissue support build cumulatively over 6 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use. Like any genuine joint wellness approach, Bounce works with your dog’s biology to support structural health over time rather than masking discomfort, so the benefits deepen with continued use.

Bounce chews are formulated to be palatable and are readily accepted by the vast majority of dogs as a treat. For particularly fussy eaters, try breaking the chew into smaller pieces and mixing with food, or offering it as a reward during a walk or training session. If your dog does not take to them, our Happiness Guarantee means you can return your first order for a full refund: no questions asked.

Yes. Bounce is designed for daily, ongoing use: that is the foundation of its joint health approach. All ingredients are included at safe, researched levels and the formulation has been developed by a qualified canine nutritionist in collaboration with Bonza’s senior canine nutritionists. Bounce’s natural plant-based compounds support joint health and are well-tolerated for long-term daily use.

Bounce is well-tolerated by the vast majority of dogs. Some dogs may experience mild digestive adjustment during the first few days as the gut microbiome adapts to the prebiotic compounds: this typically resolves within a week. If your dog has a known sensitivity to any listed ingredient, or is on medication that may interact with herbal anti-inflammatory compounds such as Boswellia or Turmeric, consult your vet before use.

Yes. Bounce is 100% plant-based with no animal-derived ingredients, no soy, no wheat and no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. GreenDroitin™ chondroitin is specifically chosen because it is plant-sourced: a meaningful distinction from the shellfish-derived chondroitin found in the overwhelming majority of conventional joint supplements, and one of only a small number of plant-sourced chondroitin options available in the UK market. This makes Bounce suitable for dogs with common dietary sensitivities and for owners committed to a plant-based approach for their dog.

Bounce was formulated by Glendon Lloyd, Bonza’s Founder, who holds Diplomas in Canine Nutrition and Canine Nutrigenomics (both with Distinction), in collaboration with Bonza’s senior canine nutritionists. Every ingredient is selected based on peer-reviewed research and formulated to work synergistically through the gut-joint axis framework, with plant-based sourcing verified at every stage.
