Collagen For Dogs & Cats
30 capsules
Ask Ariel's Ultra-Flex Collagen for dogs and cats is a natural, “whole-food” supplement that is tasteless and easy to administer. Just sprinkle on your pet’s food - one dose a day is all that is needed to give your cat or dog the benefits of collagen. The ingredients are backed by extensive research and clinical trials.
Note: Our collagen supplement for dogs and cats provides a two- to four-month supply for pets under 35 pounds, depending upon weight and a one-month supply for dogs over 35 pounds. If you have a pet under 35 pounds, capsules will need to be opened in order to mix the powder into food.
Collagen For Dogs & Cats: What Are The Benefits?
Collagen is a structural protein found in the bones, muscles, skin, tendons, and digestive tract of your pet. It is the “cellular glue” that holds the body together. Natural collagen production declines as your pet ages, which can lead to decreased elasticity and stability in the joints, muscles and connective tissue. Collagen supplements for dogs and cats can also be used to aid in recovery and repair of bones, tendons and ligaments in pets that have suffered injuries.
The key ingredient in Ultra-Flex Collagen for dogs and cats is NEM® brand eggshell membrane - a safe, all-natural whole-food source containing three varieties of collagen, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, and enzymes, which support joints and connective tissue. Ultra-Flex Collagen for dogs and cats contains key enzymes for enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
The benefits of collagen supplements for dogs and cats may help:
Supports Joint Health & Strengthens Cartilage
One of the most difficult things to watch is your dog or cat not being able to run or play like they used to because of arthritis or pain. Age-related joint and soft tissue pain is something that most dogs and cats will experience during their senior years. Around 80% of your pet’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments are made up of collagen and it is crucial in keeping these connective tissues flexible. With aging, collagen production decreases and this can play a major role in arthritis and joint pain. As collagen is depleted, the protein connections weaken and this can make your pet more susceptible to tendon and ligament injuries such as torn cruciate ligaments, luxating patella, and elbow and hip dysplasia. Collagen supplementation can help maintain connective tissue health, improve mobility in pets and provide pain relief for cats with arthritis or dogs with arthritis.
Ultra-Flex Collagen provides nutritional support to the bones and joints to repair existing joint damage and to help prevent further damage. It helps to repair the cartilage and connective tissue on a cellular level and helps to reduce inflammation and pain. Recent scientific studies show that collagen from NEM® eggshell membrane is a viable therapeutic option for the management of the pain and loss of function associated with suboptimal joint function in dogs.*
Cartilage is the flexible tissue that provides cushioning between the bones and joints. It also makes up the vertebral discs and bronchial tubes. Cartilage is made of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagen and elastin. Our Ultra-Flex Collagen is made with NEM® eggshell membranes. They naturally contain many of the same key nutrients found in healthy joint cartilage:
- Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are used in the body as shock absorbers and lubricants. Glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid are commonly utilized as individual arthritis and joint support supplements for pets. They provide support for joint mobility, healthy lubrication and promote cartilage synthesis.
- Proteoglycans are proteins that occur in connective tissue and the extracellular matrix – the fibrous substance that provides structural and biochemical support between cells.
- Collagen is the building block of your pet’s joints, bones, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues. Also helps to reduce inflammation.
- Elastin gives elasticity to tissues, allowing them to stretch and retract. Provides support in the skin, lungs and spine, as these tissues contain high amounts of elastins.
Ultra-Flex Collagen can be added to your pet’s diet as a preventative when they are young to help keep their joints and soft tissue strong. Collagen offers support for dogs with panosteitis, a painful bone condition marked by inflammation in the long bones of the limbs. This condition predominantly affects young, large-breed dogs, causing intermittent lameness and discomfort. Since collagen is a key structural protein in bones and connective tissues, adding supplemental collagen may help alleviate the symptoms of panosteitis, reducing inflammation and supporting the healing process within affected bones.
Ultra-Flex Collagen is an excellent choice for pets that have allergies to the shellfish found in glucosamine or those that are especially picky about herbal formulas. If your pet is taking ArthroStride, Adequan injections or another glucosamine remedy, Ultra-Flex will work synergistically to promote joint repair, increase mobility and reduce joint degeneration.

Ember
"Our 7 year old Pudlepointer Ember suffered a devastating leg injury 2 years ago. She suffered a committed fracture which required multiple surgeries and plating if her leg. Her vet recommended several supplements and we even tried injections to reduce her pain and limping. I turned to Ask Ariel for advice and started Ember on Ultra-Flex and ArthroSoothe. Within two weeks, she had completely stopped limping and was running like the wind! She was doing so well, when the supplements ran out, we didn't bother to refill. Fast forward a few months and the poor dog is limping again with no initiating incident. We put Ember back on ArthroSoothe and Ultra-Flex and it worked even faster this time! No more going off supplements, thank you for helping our dear, sweet Ember ❤" - Lynette, California
Ultra-Flex Collagen has been one of Ask Ariel’s most effective tracheal collapse supplements. Eggshell membrane for collapsed trachea strengthens the rings of cartilage over time. Collapsed trachea is characterized by dogs hacking, coughing (often sounds like "honking") and gasping for air. This natural tracheal collapse supplement will help strengthen the trachea cartilage, reducing symptoms over time. It works best when used in conjunction with Amazing Omegas, Purrfect Pet CoQ10, Power Probiotic and LypoZyme. Collapsed trachea is aggravated by poor digestion and inflammation. Our collapsed trachea treatment includes important diet changes along with digestive supplements (LypoZyme and Power Probiotic), since food allergies and poor digestion increase inflammation and irritate the esophagus, which can make coughing and hacking worse.
Ultra-Flex Collagen is also helpful for dogs with laryngeal paralysis and GOLPP. With these conditions, the laryngeal cartilage no longer functions normally and breathing is restricted. Supporting and strengthening the connective tissue may delay the need for surgery and reduce symptoms.
Buster
"This is Buster, adopted from my local shelter 6 years ago. He has a collapsing trachea, so I’ve been giving him Ultra-Flex Collagen, Soothing Digestive Relief, Gastro-ULC and Power Probiotic for about the last 6 months. He has had great relief from his symptoms and the vet said his breathing sounds better than it did 6 months ago! His intermittent diarrhea is no longer a problem either...I’m very pleased with how well these products are supporting Buster’s health. Buster also uses Lypozyme for his digestion and collapsing trachea; he is doing so much better since we started with these products!" - Marti, Wyoming
Helps Digestion & Supports a Healthy Intestinal Lining
Many illnesses can be traced back to inflammation and irritations within the digestive tract that can lead to health conditions such as IBD, acid reflux, colitis and even autoimmune disease. Improving digestion to reduce inflammation and increase the proper absorption of nutrients is the key to good health.
Collagen aids in digestion by breaking down proteins and it can help repair and soothe the gut lining. Collagen can strengthen the connective tissue in your pet's intestinal lining and reduce permeability. Collagen has a high glycine content. Glycine is an amino acid that helps to break down fat, strengthens the integrity of the intestinal wall and can bind with toxic substances to help excrete them from the body.
Ultra-Flex Collagen supports a healthy GI tract by strengthening the connective tissue in your pet's intestinal lining. Use it with
Power Probiotic to improve digestion, absorption, immunity and your pet's overall well-being.
Promotes Skin Health and a Healthy Coat
The skin and coat are crucial to the health of your pet. Dry skin or brittle fur can signal a serious health condition, such as thyroid disorders or kidney and liver disease. The skin and coat system is actually the largest organ in dogs and cats. The dermis layer of the skin contains blood vessels, hair follicles, and glands that help to regulate skin and body temperature. Collagen makes up the majority of the protein in your pet’s skin. A healthy dermis layer will provide strength and flexibility for the skin and will help to maintain skin elasticity, a soft, shiny coat, and strong, powerful nails. Ultra-Flex Collagen can help to improve skin, fur and nail health. If your cat or dog suffers from itchy, dry skin or cracked nails, adding Amazing Omegas can help keep the dermis healthy and promote coat and nail wellness.

Benji, Yorkshire Terrier
"My name is Benji. I am 14 year old Yorkshire Terrier and a few years ago I started have episodes where I couldn't catch my breath. My owners took me to the vet and were told it was a collapsing trachea. My owners do not like pharmaceutical medications so they did a web search and found you. They ordered for me the Ultra-Flex Collagen For Pets. After about a month my symptoms were gone. I have only had a couple of episodes and that has been on very cold days. Thank you for providing this wonderful product because I was very scared when not being able to catch my breath."

Jerry, Shih Tzu
"Our 13 yo Shih tzu came back from the groomer about 9 months ago coughing uncontrollably and we found out he had a Collapsed Trachea confirmed by his vet that evening. The coughing, honking, etc., was unbearable but our love for him and his quality of life had us searching for better options. The vet said it was incurable but something that could be managed with steroids and pain meds. He still coughed around the clock. I found Ask Ariel and started with
Ultra-Flex Collagen and he coughed significantly less. Also gave him benadryl tabs occasionally. The next time I ordered, I added LypoZyme. After 3 weeks of both he is not coughing at all. It's a miracle and everyday my husband and I are thankful that we found Ask Ariel. No more steroids or pain meds either! He is running up and down the stairs now without coughing and we just watch him in awe. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, a million times over (Jerry thanks you too)!
And, Thank you also to the incredibly knowledgeable staff, professionalism, and care you put into every product at Ask Ariel : )))"

Grace Kelly
"Here is Grace Kelly clowning around in preparation for her first Halloween with me. I adopted her in January 2023. She is pure love and joy! Upon learning Grace has luxating patellas, I started her on Ask Ariel’s
Ultra-Flex Collagen. This supplement, combined with a healthy diet, keeps Grace moving and living her best life! ❤️"

Pip
"I can't get over how well Pip does on
Ultra-Flex Collagen. According to the vet, he blew out the canine version of the ACL on his right rear leg almost two years ago when he was running around the back yard and slipped on some ice. Surgery was going to be really expensive -- without a "guaranteed" correction! Since I am a Naturopathic Doctor, surgery and meds are never my go-to's. Within just a few days of starting him on Ultra-Flex, he was putting weight on the leg. Within a few weeks, he was no longer pulling the leg up to rest it. Best of all, within about a month, he was running around the yard again!!
Pip is now 10 and a half, and I keep that leg (and the other three!) going by sprinkling Ultra-Flex on his breakfast. And he runs like a puppy! Thank you, Ask Ariel and Ultra-Flex!!!"

Mocha
"This is our Mocha! Although she is dressed in her witch's costume for Halloween, she is the complete opposite....a 24 hour a day angel!!
Mocha is taking LypoZyme and Power Probiotic. Both have been instrumental in helping with her digestive issues. She is able to eat a more balanced diet while on the supplements with little/no further GI issues."

Ulysse, Mini Pinscher
"Ulysse is our 10 year old Min Pin. He is a very active little guy, loves to fetch, swim and run (he's done a few 5k with me). He had patella luxation surgery at the age of 2. As he got older, I noticed he was having some pain on his back. We did X-rays multiple times and the vet concluded he has arthritis. We started giving him Tramadol and it did help, to some extent, but I was always concerned about creating other issues in the long run. He had pancreatitis in the past and again Tramadol was given. We also did laser treatments but those stopped working after a couple of months. I started to research supplements and herbs because I believe natural remedies do work. We tried many others before we ran into askariel.com products. Another min pin mom loved the products so I said well let's give them a try. By then he had taken metacam (not for long because of all the side effects) and I just couldn't do it. We decided to give him ARTHROSOOTHE and Ultra-Flex Collagen it took about one week and we were done with the Tramadol. He stopped growling when we touched his back and he started to jump, climb and run non-stop like a crazy little man that just turn two years old instead of 10 years. We just couldn't believe it!!! People at the dog park noticed the difference in his attitude and could tell he was feeling 100% better!!! My old man had turn into a young pup. When winter came along, I was concerned about the cold and his pains, but it didn't faze him. We continued going to the dog park and he would just run and run and run and play with the snow! His two sisters (min pin), the other people and I at the dog park couldn't believe him! We are so grateful we found Askariel. It changed my Ulysse's life completely!"

Fred
“Our 15 yr old feline Fred says he loves the way “Ultra-Flex Collagen Support” makes him feel. We only do ¼ of a capsule in the morning with his food along with the Power Probiotic. We do Lypozyme at the dinner feeding. Within one month we saw improvements in the way he would get out of his bed, up and down stairs and walk around his outside courtyard. Now after 2 months, he is actually running and playing some with our 11 yr old cat. He has even lost ½ lb since he is able to run and play more. The other day, I saw him run across the yard, which was the first time in a year. Fred says that his other felines should definitely give it a try so they can feel young again!”

Rocky
“The Ultra-Flex Collagen has been a miracle for Rocky, our 17 year old cat. Rocky needed a little something extra for his joints. We had used Cosequin in the past but it seemed to bother his tummy after ...many years. The Ultra-Flex Collagen from AskAriel was the answer! Within a week....Rocky was running and chasing crickets and playing again like a kitten. We can tell his back legs are already feeling better. Plus, I can't say enough about the power of "Power Probiotic", Lypozyme and Soothing Digestive. All 3 of my babies are taking these now. Thanks again for such wonderful, gentle products to make the babies healthy.”
Deborah
Jack
“I adopted Jack from the neighborhood Animal Shelter. I was sold by his sweet demeanor amid the busy and loud barking Kennels. Once we got home, I realized he had a terrible kennel cough, or so I thought. At his first Vet visit it turned out that he didn’t have a kennel cough, but he has a collapsed trachea. The Vet explained that there is no cure except for possibly surgery and sent us home with 3 or 4 different medications. I was hopeful the medicine would help this poor little guy’s suffering. However, after 3 weeks Jack's coughing seemed to get worse and worse.
In desperation, I extensively researched how to help dogs with collapsed trachea to no avail until I one day I typed in “miracle success stories for collapsed trachea”. That’s when I found Ask Ariel and read through other similar stories. Natural supplements? I questioned...how can this be true? I was willing to try anything to help Jack. And what a miracle success story it has been! Jack is mostly cough free and is such a healthy and happy boy now. Our Vet (and all the testing he likes to do) says that Jack looks like he will likely live another 10 years or so!
We are so grateful for the natural alternative and the health Ask Ariel has given back to Jack. We have been using the combination of
LypoZyme, Power Probiotic and Ultra-Flex Collagen along with making sure not to overfeed him (weight gain presses on trachea) for a year now and are very pleased with the outcome. We definitely believe in Miracles now, thanks to Ask Ariel!”

Teddy
"Teddy has had a chronic cough since May 2020. Over the course of 2 years, he has been on 3 different medications, had an EKG, x-rays, and many vet visits. The meds would work for a while but the side effects were awful for Teddy. I kept researching and finally came across a thread online where someone mentioned Ask Ariel. I learned a lot from the website and ordered some supplements. Since then Teddy is off all medication and is doing so much better! It took some time and he will have a bad day once in a while, but overall I’d say his cough is 85% better, which has improved his quality of life tremendously, and mine since the coughing was the worst during the night. Teddy takes Ask Ariel Power Probiotic, Ultra-Flex Collagen, and LypoZyme. He also takes Kidney Health to support his kidneys which were affected by the medications. I am so grateful I kept at it and finally found Ask Ariel. I had started to research end of life options because I didn’t know what else to do and didn’t want him to be suffering. I am so grateful for Ask Ariel’s educational approach and supplements."

Brindle
"When I took my dog to the vet recently for a bad cough they diagnosed him with a collapsing trachea. They said all they could do was "keep him comfortable". They prescribed a strong opiate which I didn't even fill the prescription for. I found you online, and after about 4 days of taking the
Ultra-Flex Collagen his cough was 50% improved! I couldn't believe it! Now after a couple of weeks, his cough is GONE! Mind you, prior to taking your supplement it was so bad that I was preparing to have him put down. I can't thank you enough and, needless to say, I will never be without this! Thank you so much and God bless ❤"
Lisa, Michigan
Wuqi
"Our little Shorkie, Wuqi began having this honking, choking cough so, of course, we took him to our vet. We were horrified to learn that he had something called 'Collapsed Trachea', to which both breeds of Wuqi's parentage are susceptible. Collapsed Trachea is a condition that only grows worse as dogs get older & it can shorten their lifespan. We happen to be big fans of alternative health treatments & so we started researching this condition which is how we found Ask Ariel. We bought several of the products & within 2 weeks, Wuqi quit having that cough & his energy rebounded. These products definitely work & we are & will be repeat buyers. Wuqi's doing great. He's 12 & everybody he meets is surprised he's that old."
Wuqi uses the following products from Ask Ariel: Power Probiotic, Ultra-Flex Collagen, and Happy Paws Drops.
Susan, Washington
Peanut
"This is my baby girl Peanut, she just turned 9 years old. About 18 months ago (or so), I started to notice she was much less active, she would make weird noises while sleeping and had this horrible honking cough that would last for minutes and she couldn't breathe during it. At 1st the vet thought respiratory infection and gave her antibiotics but they did nothing. She then started having episodes where she wouldn't eat for a couple of days and would throw up bile.
Vet said acid reflux and told me to give Pepcid. I knew there had to be more to it so I started researching her symptoms and asked vet about collapsing trachea which they said yes it could be. I found Ask Ariel and the information was so thorough I knew I had to try the products as nothing from the vet seemed to do much. Peanut has been taking the Ultra-Flex Collagen, Power Probiotic and LypoZyme for about 6 months now and the changes I've seen in her are incredible!!
She very rarely has the goose cough, her stomach issues are almost completely gone, she's running around playing with our other dogs and is just so much better now all around. I was so afraid before that she wouldn't make it past 8, and her b-day this year I owe to Ask Ariel and their amazing products! They have given me my crazy little lovebug back!"
