Hello there dog lovers!  We have another amazing episode for you as we chat with Anja Skodda, who is a biotech scientist that helped her dog to skateboard again with a special joint formulation. She created HAPPYBOND, a collagen building formula to help all pet parents to extend their best friends’ healthspan. Anja uses her science background to create clean, human-grade functional nutrition to help your dog stay healthy and strengthen that very special bond.

Anja, I have to believe that our dogs’ health and strength tend to deteriorate with age just like what happens to us. Is that right?

And I’ve heard that loss of mobility is one of the foremost causes of euthanasia. That’s awful!

But you’re here to share with us that many changes in our dogs’ mobility can be addressed and that there are things that we can do to improve their overall wellness and even lengthen their lifespan.

What happens to our dogs’ joints as they age?

Before we talk about supplements for joint health, what about the joint and pain meds like gabapentin, NSAIDs, aspirin and Rimadyl?

When talking about supplements for pain and inflammation, many of us see products with glucosamine and chondroitin.  Do they work?

Many of us have heard the buzz about collagen and before prepping for this interview I never knew that 30% of the total protein in a dog’s body is collagen and that Collagen makes up 70 to 90% of a dog’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments. 

What exactly is it and does collagen production typically diminish as dogs age?

I make bone broth for my dog.  Isn’t that a great source of collagen?

Besides keeping joints young, what other benefits are there in collagen?

What are the ingredients in HappyBond and how do they work together?

What makes HappyBond different from other supplements on the market?

And you have a patent pending is that right?

Do we give as a preventative or just when we notice mobility issues?  That’s why you have 3 diff formulas for all life stages…

Why is this Cesar Millan’s #1 supplement for joint support?

Can you share some success stories?
