Pawlity® Skin Comfort Collagen Chews

Hydrolyzed collagen and collagen peptides are the structural building blocks of your dog's skin, broken down into small molecules for maximum absorption. They rebuild the protective barrier that keeps allergens, bacteria, and irritants out, and repair damaged tissue in areas that have been scratched, inflamed, or chronically irritated.

Dogs lose 7-10% of their natural collagen every year after age 2. As collagen depletes, the skin barrier thins and becomes more permeable, allowing environmental allergens to penetrate and trigger immune reactions. Supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen provides the raw material the body needs to rebuild this barrier from the inside out. The only way to address chronic skin issues at the root.

Quercetin is a powerful natural flavonoid that blocks histamine release at the source, calming the allergic reactions that cause itching, redness, and inflammation. Unlike pharmaceutical antihistamines, Quercetin has no known long-term side effects and supports the body rather than suppressing it.

Quercetin stabilizes mast cells, the immune cells responsible for releasing histamine when triggered by allergens. By preventing this release, it stops the allergic cascade before it starts, reducing itching, redness and inflammation naturally. Our 150mg dose delivers a meaningful effect felt within the first weeks of use.

Colostrum is the nutrient-dense first milk produced by mammals, packed with immunoglobulins, growth factors, and antibodies. It strengthens natural immunity and repairs the gut-skin axis, a critical connection too often overlooked. Because 70% of immune function originates in the gut, a healthy gut means skin that overreacts less to environmental triggers.

Colostrum contains lactoferrin, immunoglobulins (IgG), and proline-rich polypeptides that help regulate immune response and restore gut barrier integrity. In dogs with chronic allergies, intestinal permeability often contributes to systemic inflammation. By repairing the gut lining, colostrum helps calm the immune over-reactivity that fuels chronic skin issues.

Omega-3 fatty acids act as powerful natural anti-inflammatories. They calm skin irritation from within, support hydration of dry and damaged skin, and work in synergy with collagen to restore a healthy, shiny coat. They are among the most clinically supported ingredients in canine dermatology.

Omega-3 fatty acids modulate the inflammatory response by competing with pro-inflammatory Omega-6s at the cellular level. They reduce the production of inflammatory molecules in the skin, leading to less redness, less itching, and faster healing of damaged areas. They also strengthen the skin's lipid barrier, supporting collagen's structural work.

MSM is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound that plays a critical role in skin, joint, and connective tissue health. In our formula, it reduces itching and discomfort while collagen does its deeper structural work, providing comfort during the repair process.

Sulfur is a vital component of keratin (the protein in skin and coat) and is essential for collagen synthesis. MSM also has well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, reducing the chronic low-grade inflammation that drives itching. It acts as both an immediate comfort agent and a long-term cofactor in skin repair.

Chondroitin Sulfate is a natural component of cartilage and connective tissue. It supports joint comfort and mobility, particularly important for dogs whose chronic scratching and licking has put constant strain on hips, elbows and paws. Together with collagen, it supports the deeper structures beneath the skin.

Chondroitin attracts water into cartilage, keeping it elastic and resistant to compression. It also inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage over time. For dogs dealing with both skin issues and age-related stiffness, it works alongside collagen and Green-Lipped Mussel to support comfortable movement.

Green-Lipped Mussel is a shellfish native to New Zealand, prized for its unique combination of Omega-3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans and minerals. It provides natural anti-inflammatory support for both skin and joints, complementing the Omega-3 and Chondroitin in the formula.

Green-Lipped Mussel contains ETA (eicosatetraenoic acid), a rare Omega-3 not found in standard fish oil, with distinct anti-inflammatory pathways. It is one of the most studied natural ingredients in canine joint health, and its glycosaminoglycans also contribute to skin and connective tissue integrity.

Eggshell Membrane is the thin natural layer between the shell and the egg white. It naturally contains collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine in one matrix, making it a concentrated whole-food source of the exact building blocks skin and connective tissue are made of.

Eggshell Membrane delivers its nutrients in their natural ratios, which supports absorption and utilisation. Clinical studies in dogs have shown improvements in joint comfort and mobility within weeks. Its collagen and elastin content also complements the formula's core mission: rebuilding the structures that keep skin resilient.

Astragalus is a traditional adaptogenic herb used for centuries to strengthen immune defenses and support cellular regeneration. It helps your dog's immune system respond more appropriately to environmental allergens. Not by suppressing the response, but by balancing it.

Astragalus contains polysaccharides and saponins that modulate immune function, supporting white blood cell activity while preventing immune over-reaction. For dogs with chronic atopic dermatitis, where the immune system is hyper-sensitive to environmental triggers, this balancing effect helps reduce the intensity and frequency of allergic flare-ups.

Hyaluronic Acid is a natural molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It locks hydration into skin that's actively repairing, keeping it elastic, supple, and protected. Because dry skin heals much more slowly than hydrated skin, Hyaluronic Acid accelerates the entire repair process.

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in skin, joints, and connective tissue, but its production declines with age and chronic inflammation. By supplementing it, we maintain skin's elasticity and hydration during the rebuilding phase. Hydrated skin is more flexible, less prone to cracking, and provides a better environment for collagen to do its structural work.

Undenatured Type II Collagen is a specific form found in cartilage, kept in its native shape so it can interact directly with immune tissue in the gut. Unlike the peptides that rebuild skin, its role is to calm the immune over-reaction that drives chronic inflammation, while supporting joint comfort.

Undenatured Type II Collagen works through oral tolerance, helping the immune system recognize collagen as a friend rather than a target. This calms the over-reactive immune response that fuels chronic inflammation in atopic dogs, while simultaneously protecting joints from age-related wear. Effective at small doses precisely because it works as a signal, not as a building material.
