Collagile® dog - 225g

Bioactive collagen peptides are smaller sections of collagen, a high-molecular-weight protein molecule, and are obtained through enzymatic cleavage. Studies have shown that certain peptides can be absorbed into the body unharmed through the intestinal wall and accumulate in the joints.
They are called bioactive because they reach the desired target site and can simultaneously support the body's own functions, i.e., they are biologically active.

Collagile® dog differs significantly from conventional collagen hydrolysates.

The chosen manufacturing process is of crucial importance for quality and biological value. The peptides in Collagile® dog are obtained in a highly controlled hydrolysis process by enzymatic cleavage, which has been optimized for the extraction of specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides. The product is then purified, concentrated, sterilized, and dried. In this way, consistent, optimal quality can be ensured.

The following graphic shows the manufacturing process.

On the left side of the graphic, you can see the raw material, gelatin.
In the middle, you can see the conventional collagen hydrolysate.
On the right side of the graphic is the end product, our Bioactive Collagen Peptides.

To achieve the same bioactivity with conventional collagen hydrolysate, you would have to take a significantly higher amount!

A continuous daily administration is recommended.

Dosage for Dogs:

Dogs up to 4.9 kg: 2.5 g / day
Dogs from 5 kg: 5 g / day

For the first 10 days, for animals weighing 20 KG or more, a dose of 2 scoops (14g) per day is recommended, and for animals over 30 KG, 2.5 scoops (17.5g) per day.
If possible, please divide at least the larger quantities into 2 meals.

Dosage for Cats:

Depending on weight and activity level:
up to 5 kg 2.5 g, over 5 kg 3.5 g daily
A very well-heaped teaspoon corresponds to approx. 2.5 g, a scale would be optimal.

A level scoop contains approx. 7g.

Each can contains a measuring scoop, which may be buried in the powder during transport; simply dig for it with a fork. If there is no measuring scoop, the following applies:
1 very well-heaped teaspoon = approx. 2.5g
1 very well-heaped tablespoon = approx. 5g

Yes, Collagile® dog can also be given to cats.

Dosage:

Depending on weight and activity level:
up to 5 kg 2.5 g, over 5 kg 3.5 g daily
A very well-heaped teaspoon corresponds to approx. 2.5 g; a scale would be optimal.
A level measuring spoon contains approx. 7 g.

The bioactive collagen peptides contained in Collagile® dog have no side effects and are purely natural.
We therefore recommend continuous administration for regular support of your pet's musculoskeletal system.

Collagile® dog is offered in powdered form. Each can contains only pure bioactive collagen peptides, with no other additives.

Mix the powder with your wet food or raw meat.

Dry Food:
Here we recommend mixing it with cottage cheese, yogurt, spreadable sausage, alternatively you can moisten the dry food with water and then mix it with Collagile®.

Yes, because Collagile® dog has no adverse effects when combined with other feeds.

Yes, our bioactive collagen peptides do not harm pregnant and lactating animals or their pups and can therefore be fed without hesitation in this situation.

Our bioactive collagen peptides are derived from collagen types 1 (approx. 95%) and 3 (approx. 5%).

For all animals suffering from chronic conditions (e.g., kidney failure, liver damage, intestinal diseases, thyroid problems, etc.), prior consultation with your veterinarian is required. This is a fundamental principle that applies to supplements of all kinds.

Our bioactive collagen peptides are natural and generally unproblematic, but we nevertheless attach great importance to you consulting your trusted veterinarian in advance for sick animals.

No, Collagile® dog has no taste at all. The fine powder cannot be sorted out and can be easily mixed into wet food and, with a little liquid, into dry food.
The powder can also be mixed with cottage cheese, yogurt, spreadable sausage, etc., which is suitable for dogs fed dry food.

However, do not add the powder to dry food without liquid!

Collagile® dog does not need to be stored in the refrigerator; a cooler room – such as the bedroom – is suitable for storage. Direct sunlight or storage in very warm rooms should be avoided. The product should be protected from moisture.

A distinction is made between the best-before date (MHD) and the period of use after opening. The best-before date is usually significantly longer and refers to the unopened product. Once the product has been opened, the period of use after opening begins, which is usually much shorter than the MHD.

After opening Collagile® dog, the contents of the can should be used within 4 months at the latest.

Although products do not automatically become unusable if stored correctly, their quality, effectiveness and safety after exceeding the period of use can only be proven by appropriate tests, otherwise liability problems may arise. The manufacturer's liability ends in any case on the day of the specified period of use.

Substances can be degraded by bacterial contamination, oxidation, hydrolysis and racemization processes. Storage-related problems thus arise due to temperature and humidity exposure, light and oxygen.

Our bioactive collagen peptides are not classified as doping substances by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and are therefore doping-free.

Collagile® dog is free from allergens according to the allergen regulation.

Our bioactive collagen peptides are derived from pig skin.
We are not aware of any allergic reactions in animals that are allergic to pork.
This is partly due to the fact that our bioactive collagen peptides are neither meat nor fat.
They are only low-molecular amino acids, i.e., pure protein, which generally cannot trigger allergic reactions.

Generally no. No side effects are known with Collagile® dog.
In very few individual cases, especially at the beginning with higher doses and particularly in animals fed dry food, a slight diarrhea has been observed.

In this case, first stop administration until everything is okay again. To allow your animal to gradually get used to it, introduce Collagile® dog starting with a pinch.
Increase the amount gradually up to the recommended amount for your animal, or up to the point where it is unproblematic for your animal.
And if possible, divide larger amounts into 2 meals.

Soft and/or mushy stools are unproblematic.

Does Collagile® dog contain fat, cholesterol, phosphate or purines?

No. Collagile® dog contains no gluten or lactose, nor glucosamine or chondroitin

No. Collagile® dog is alcohol-free.

No. Collagile® dog contains no artificial colours or preservatives.

Yes, the individual products have each been optimally produced for each species.

They differ in molecular weight (2.5 kDa to 6 kDa) and are specific peptides to ensure optimized absorption (bioavailability). This has been confirmed in several studies.

Each species has a different digestive system, especially in horses, the digestive process differs significantly compared to humans, dogs, and cats. Therefore, only the product specifically labeled for each species should be used.

The basic substance itself is the same in all cases.

Collagile® dog sources its raw materials from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

No, because this disease is only transmitted through raw pork from infected animals.
Collagile® dog is heated to such a high temperature during production that this virus could not survive.
If there were even a hint of a risk, Collagile® dog would not be allowed to be put on the market.

Made from the skin of pigs from animals approved exclusively for human consumption.

There is a comprehensible technical explanation for this:
When we produce the powder and fill it into the cans, the powder first swells, and the Collagile® dog can is about 85% full at the time of filling.
Due to transport and storage, the powder settles again and gradually compresses. In contrast to the moment of filling, the fill level is significantly lower later.
It is therefore technically necessary to maintain the height of the current Collagile® dog can to be able to guarantee the stated net content.

Alternatively, the powder could be granulated, which would significantly reduce the compaction of the powder. However, this requires chemical additives, and then Collagile® would no longer be a pure natural product. Therefore, we refrain from this option to maintain the naturalness of Collagile®.

To determine whether the content of your Collagile® dog can corresponds to the stated net content, you can do the following:
The total packaging, including the measuring spoon and lid, weighs 55g. If you weigh an unopened Collagile® dog can on a calibrated scale, the total weight must be at least 280g.
