Our extruded Dry dog food for joints and bones has been specially developed for dogs that require more nutritional support for their musculoskeletal system – whether due to age, high activity, or stressful periods. The balanced formula combines functional ingredients such as green-lipped mussel, apple, devil's claw, and willow bark – a coordinated mixture for the daily support of mobility and joy of life.
Green-lipped mussel naturally provides glucosamine and chondroitin, which can contribute to maintaining normal joint function. Apple contains vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds, while devil's claw and willow bark are traditionally used in animal nutrition for supplementary support during joint stress.

Studies on functional ingredients
If you would like more background on functional ingredients and their effects, please see our scientific data here – clearly compiled as a report.
Summary
The current state of research shows that there are several effective and safe approaches to support dogs with joint problems or osteoarthritis – both through medication and through natural supplements.
Natural support through green-lipped mussel
-
Several studies confirm: green-lipped mussel extracts significantly improve mobility, reduce pain, and increase quality of life.
-
Effect sizes in meta-analyses show moderate to strong efficacy.
-
Even in direct comparison with medication, green-lipped mussel showed noticeable advantages over placebo.
Combinations and Multi-Formulas
-
Preparations with glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen, Boswellia, green tea, and hyaluronic acid reduced pain highly significantly (p<0.001) and improved mobility.
-
Combinations are particularly promising, as they can act simultaneously at various points (cartilage protection, anti-inflammatory, pain reduction).
Mixed results for glucosamine and chondroitin alone
-
Some studies report improvements in pain, lameness, and resilience,
-
while current meta-analyses tend to critically evaluate their effectiveness.
-
The benefits therefore seem to vary individually.
Natural herbs – still research gaps
-
For willow bark, devil's claw, and MSM, there are currently no reliable studies in dogs, although they are found in many products.
-
There is still a great need for research here.
Safety
-
Both green-lipped mussel and nutritional supplements were well tolerated in the studies.
-
No relevant side effects were reported.
BonePower Dry Food: Dry Food for Joints and Bones
BugBell's specially developed BonePower Dry dog food is a supplement to the daily diet of dogs with special demands on their joint and bone function. With valuable ingredients such as green-lipped mussel for dogs and devil's claw for dogs, it offers a high-quality recipe for adult dogs – ideal for increased nutritional needs in the musculoskeletal system.
Why can special dog food for joints and bones be beneficial?
Joint diseases in dogs can affect dogs of all ages and often manifest as restricted mobility or altered behavior. An adapted diet can help to improve the general nutritional status and reduce risk factors such as obesity. Dog food for osteoarthritis is not a substitute for veterinary treatment, but it can specifically supplement the food ration as part of a holistic approach.
BonePower: Dog food as a supplement for increased joint needs
Dog food for osteoarthritis can be used supportively to ensure a nutrient-rich supply. BonePower combines selected ingredients such as glucosamine for dogs and MSM for dogs with proven plant extracts like devil's claw and willow bark. This composition supports a needs-based diet for dogs with special requirements in the area of bones and joints.
The most important active ingredients at a glance
- Green-lipped mussel for dogs: Provides natural sources of glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Devil's claw for dogs: Traditionally used in nutrition for increased needs in the musculoskeletal system.
- Willow bark for dogs: Contains natural plant substances valued in natural veterinary medicine.
- Spirulina for dogs: Supplies the dog with additional vitamins and minerals.
BonePower Dry Food: Preventive Nutrient Supply for Joints and Bones
The BonePower Dry dog food is a high-quality complete feed for adult dogs and is particularly suitable for four-legged friends for whom early support of the musculoskeletal system is beneficial. The recipe combines functional ingredients such as green-lipped mussel, devil's claw, quinoa, and insect protein into a well-tolerated, nutrient-rich composition.
Advantages at a glance:
- Preventive joint support: Developed to nutritionally accompany joint metabolism.
- Suitable for active and aging dogs: Can help to maintain natural mobility for as long as possible.
- With Glucosamine and MSM: Provides structural nutrient building blocks for connective tissue and cartilage.
- Balanced recipe: Supports a needs-based supply without unnecessarily burdening the organism.
From when should I start preventive support?
When it is sensible to start providing support depends heavily on size, breed, and genetic predisposition. Large dogs usually age faster than small ones – accordingly, it may be beneficial to adjust the diet early to preventively support the musculoskeletal system.
As a rough guide:
- Small dogs: first age-related changes from approx. 8–10 years
- Medium-sized dogs: from approx. 7–9 years
- Large dogs: from approx. 6–8 years
- Very large breeds: sometimes already from approx. 5–7 years
However, this life phase does not mean that vitality automatically decreases. Rather, it is the ideal time to start with preventive joint support for dogs. An adapted diet can help to support bones, muscles, and joints early on and create the basis for long-term mobility.
