PREMIUM COLLAGEN INGREDIENT
Collagen for pets
Premium collagen for pets ingredients for joint health, mobility, skin and connective tissue support
Our feed-grade collagen portfolio includes both Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III for structural support and Undenatured Type II Collagen for targeted joint health. Together, they provide formulators with flexible solutions for advanced mobility, recovery and healthy ageing products.
What is collagen?
Collagen is the body’s primary structural protein and an essential component of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bones and skin.
In companion animals, collagen helps maintain mobility, flexibility and tissue integrity throughout life. As collagen production naturally decreases with age, supplementation can help support long-term structural health and overall wellbeing.
Our collagen portfolio offers two complementary solutions: hydrolyzed collagen Type I & III, undenatured Type II collagen.
Each collagen type supports joint health through a different mechanism, allowing formulators to create highly effective mobility products.
Benefits of collagen
Joint and mobility support
Collagen contributes to healthy connective tissue and helps maintain normal joint function and flexibility.
Skin and coat health
Type I and III collagen support healthy skin structure and contribute to coat quality and elasticity.
Recovery and performance
Collagen supports connective tissue repair and helps maintain tendon and ligament integrity following physical activity.
Healthy ageing
As collagen production declines naturally with age, supplementation helps maintain mobility and structural health in senior pets.
How collagen works
