How to Introduce Collagenie Meal Boosters
At Collagenie, we know that pet parents want the best for their furry companions. That’s why we’ve created our Certified Organic Collagen Meal Boosters, designed to support joint health, skin health, digestion, and overall vitality in both dogs and cats. As the world’s first and only certified organic collagen supplement for pets, our meal toppers are made with 100% human-grade ingredients, are 100% pure, and free from artificial additives, ensuring your pet gets only the best. Collagen is a vital protein that makes up over 30% of your pet’s body—including their skin, joints, and connective tissues. However, as pets age, their natural collagen production declines, leading to stiff joints, dull coats, and weaker nails. By adding Collagenie Meal Boosters to their diet, you’re providing essential amino acids that help maintain mobility, a shiny coat, and overall wellness. But like any new supplement, it’s important to introduce collagen gradually to ensure your pet adjusts well and gets the maximum benefits. Here are a few helpful tips to consider when starting your Collagenie journey: · Determine the correct dose for your petUse our helpful feeding guide to determine the correct dose of collagenie supplement to give to your pet.

Vet-Approved Guidance from Dr Holly: What to Know Before You FeedCollagenie Certified Organic Collagen Meal Boosters are made from 100% bovine, or beef, products. This protein is considered an allergen, therefore there is a risk that your pet may have an allergy to beef products. If your pet has a known beef allergy, it is important to refrain from feeding Collagenie collagen to your animal, for their own health and safety. If your pet does not necessarily have a known beef allergy, but is prone to allergies or gut sensitivities, then it is important to monitor your pet very closely following Collagenie supplementation in case of any reactions. The following signs may be indicative of an allergic response to beef protein: Gastrointestinal upset – mild diarrhoea or vomiting, excessive gas Red, itchy or inflamed skin Facial swelling – particularly around the eyes, muzzle or ears If any of the above signs develop, stop feeding the supplement immediately and contact your veterinarian.
