Frequently asked questions

Collagen is the main structural protein in connective tissue: in skin, tendons, cartilage and bone. A large part of it is made of the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.

The collagen has been broken down by enzymes into small pieces (peptides). These dissolve easily in liquid and are digested and absorbed in the gut like other protein building blocks.

A pipette makes it easy to give the right amount for your dog's weight, there's nothing to stir in, and many dogs take it happily. Powder is often cheaper per gram of collagen. Both can make sense.

Better not. Products for people often contain flavourings or sweeteners, and xylitol (birch sugar) is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. The amount also isn't matched to your dog's weight.

No. Vitakyn is a complementary feed, not a medicine. It doesn't treat, cure or prevent any disease. If your dog is ill, in pain or on medication, talk to your vet before adding any supplement. Feel free to show them the label.
