Is Your Pet Low in Collagen?
Here’s What Vet's look for in Dogs and Cats to see if they need more collagen.
Every pet parent wants their furry friend to enjoy a long, active, and healthy life.
Does your dog or cat need special supplementation based on age? And what about collagen?
Collagen can help improve your pet’s joint mobility, skin, and coat. But is collagen actually necessary for pets?
What are the signs your pet might be lacking it?
To clear things up, we asked Dr. John A. Giannone, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with over 40 years of experience and a member of the Modere Scientific Advisory Board, to share insights on collagen loss in pets and how to support your pet’s joint and skin health naturally.
Our favorite Vet on Collagen.
Why Collagen Matters for Pets
Just like humans, animals have collagen throughout their bodies—in their joints, tendons, ligaments, skin, and even eyes.
Collagen is what helps joints stay mobile and ligaments stay elastic. As pets age, their collagen levels naturally decline. This leads to stiffer joints, slower recovery from activity, and less elasticity in their connective tissues.
“Think of a ligament like a bungee cord,” says Dr. Giannone. “When collagen levels are high, it stretches and recoils. But without collagen, it behaves like a stiff rope—more likely to snap.”
Signs Your Pet Might Be Losing Collagen
Renowned Vet, Dr. Giannone highlights 4 key signs of collagen decline in pets:
Joint Discomfort or Stiffness.
Eye Health Concerns – especially in breeds like Poodles and Boston Terriers.
Dry, Brittle Coat or Increased Shedding.
Dental Issues or Weak Gums.
If your dog or cat is showing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider a joint health supplement.
Note: Itchy skin is also a sign that a dog is low in Collagen.

When shopping for supplements, collagen is important—but not enough on its own. According to Dr. Giannone, you should look for a supplement with:
Collagen in an absorbable for that can rebuild cartilage and work to replace collagen loss in the body.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – lubricates joints via synovial fluid
Chondroitin Sulfate – a structural component of cartilage that provides shock absorption
Here’s what Vet’s Recommend:
The All-in-One Pet Collagen Supplement:
Liquid BioCell® Pet
Dr. Giannone recommends Liquid BioCell® Pet because it contains collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate in one liquid formula. It’s made from sustainably sourced chicken sternal cartilage and goes through a patented Bio-Optimized™ process to ensure high absorption.
Dr. Giannone shares why he recommends Liquid BioCell Pet for Cats and Dogs at his clinic:
“It’s backed by human clinical studies, and I’ve seen impressive results in pets. Many of my clients report better mobility, shinier coats, and reduced shedding in just weeks”
