Collagen is a protein that is found in skin and connective tissues like joints, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Not only is it massively important to our bodies, but it also makes up a whopping 30% of all the protein in your dog’s body, so it’s pretty important stuff.

However, as time goes by collagen production is slowed and can leave your dog more prone to injuries and conditions affecting their bones and joints. You may also notice a change in their skin and coat health.

Luckily for us, if our joints and bones start to ache, we are able to tell someone and address it, but for your dog it isn't so easy. Collagen will depleat in your dog's body and when this does it can lead to joint pain, arthritis and other conditions.

So, here’s 8 reasons to start giving your dog collagen.

As we mentioned earlier, our dog’s collagen production slows down as they age. This happens in all breeds, just like it happens in all humans.

So, adding collagen to one of your dog’s daily meals is the perfect way to protect and rebuild their collagen levels. There’s no need to wait until you see the signs of ageing taking effect on your dog, keep their levels top up before they start to deplete and before the signs of aging start to show.

One of the most well-known effects of collagen is how can help keep bones and joints healthy. Collagen is the main protein and the building block of bones, joints, cartilage and connective tissues. It can lead to better mobility and decrease the chances of arthritis and joint breakdown later in your dog's life.

Another popular benefit of adding collagen supplements to your own diet is the effect it can have on your skin and your hair, and for dogs this is no different. Whilst dog's may not see the benefit it has on wrinkles (sorry all you Shar-Peis and Pugs!), collagen can help with skin conditions and itching. It can also lead to a shinier coat and less shredding, which is welcome news to any dog parent!

Adding collagen to your dog’s diet can help soothe and repair tissues in your dog's digestive tract that can contribute to poor digestion and nutrient absorption.

Collagen peptides are an easily digestible form of collagen. Studies have found that collagen peptides were able to prevent further breakdown of the intestinal lining.

It's also commonly used as a holistic approach to managing leaky gut syndrome.

Adding collagen to your dog’s diet can not only strengthen and keep their claws healthy, but it can also benefit their teeth and gums too. It can help to bind our dog's teeth together and keep them firmly in the gums, perfect for all that chewing and tennis ball catching.
