Description
Bonhans is a joint health supplement used in dogs, especially aging animals that show signs of stiffness, reduced mobility, or joint degeneration. For example, it can help manage osteoarthritis in dogs, support their recovery from fractures and joint surgery, and help manage symptoms of hip and elbow dysplasia (abnormal joint development).
It does so by providing essential nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, manganese, and copper, which support cartilage metabolism, aid collagen formation, and help repair connective tissue. As a result, this improves cartilage health, joint structure and function, as well as flexibility and mobility. Bonhans is typically given alongside Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).
