Blue Barn Dog Peptide+ Weight Control & Joint Care

With our Peptide+ range of dog foods, we have aimed to create a scientifically proven, functional diet for dogs with more specialised dietary requirements. 

What are Peptides and how do they work?

A Peptide is a short-chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. These are created when the Protein is broken down into small-chain peptides. Because the larger protein bonds are broken down into smaller bonds, digesting food becomes easier, allowing for the highest digestibility and absorption rates possible. 

Weight Control & Joint Care

Weight gain can be caused by many factors such as diet/overfeeding, low amounts of exercise, gender, age etc. which can then lead to a higher risk of health issues and disease. When dogs are overweight/obese, the extra weight that is placed upon the body can impact a dog’s muscle and joints, reducing physical activity which can the lead to further weight gain. Peptide+ Weight Controll & Joint Care has been specially designed to help reduce weight while also helping to care and maintain joint health. The use of White Fish Peptides stimulates hormones in the Gastrointestinal Tract with a Satiety Promoting Effect, keeping the body feeling full for longer.  The fish peptides have also been shown to soothe joint tenderness and improve mobility in arthritic dogs. Green Lipped Mussel is one of the main functioning ingredients that supports joint health by modulating inflammation and aiding cartilage repair, while also being rich in glycosaminoglycans and omega 3 fatty acids.
