Collagen is a useful supplement for dogs to support the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Collagens themselves are so-called structural proteins and are found in both humans and many animals. At around 30 percent, collagen is actually the most common protein in the human body. In vertebrates, it is particularly important for biomineralization .
Because of its benefits, collagen is of course very important for dogs. You can find it as a protein in numerous foods, including bone marrow or bone broth, fish, chicken, eggs and gelatine. You can also increase the body's own collagen production by feeding foods with a high zinc , copper or vitamin C content. With BARF, you can specifically promote collagen for your dogs through the individual composition. With this in mind, you can find collagen powder in most BARF online shops as a food supplement for dogs . You mix this in small quantities into the BARF dog food so that your four-legged friend can benefit from it. Keep this in mind the next time you order BARF .
