Hip & elbow support
Bernese Mountain Dogs are big, strong, and built to pull carts across Swiss farms, and their hips and elbows carry a lot of weight. Keeping them lean, steady daily walks to build muscle, and avoiding too much jumping and stair-running while they're growing all help keep them moving comfortably.
How supplements add support
Every Canine Keeps formula starts with our Keepwell Blend™, which includes green-lipped mussel, collagen, and PEA to support cartilage, cushioning, and everyday mobility, plus omega-3s from fish oil and DHA. Most diets don't provide joint-specific nutrients like these in meaningful amounts, so a daily serving keeps them consistent. If joints are your Berner's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds more targeted support on top.
Skin & coat support
That thick, silky tricolor coat is made for Alpine winters, and it sheds year-round with heavier seasons in spring and fall. Brushing a few times a week, daily during shedding, and gentle baths keep it healthy, and because skin and coat health are connected to the gut and immune system, support from the inside matters too.
How supplements add support
Canine Keeps supports skin and coat from the inside, with omega-3s from fish oil and DHA, antioxidant-rich blueberry and spirulina, and probiotics that support the gut-immune connection behind seasonal comfort. Whole foods provide some antioxidants, but every scoop adds a concentrated, consistent amount.
Gut & digestive support
Deep-chested giants like the Berner do best with calm, consistent mealtimes, and some have sensitive stomachs. A healthy gut means comfortable digestion, regular stools, and support for nutrient absorption. Splitting food into two or more meals, avoiding hard exercise right around meals, and gradual food switches all help.
How supplements add support
Every Canine Keeps formula includes multiple strains of probiotics, including spore-forming strains that hold up well in the bowl, plus a prebiotic to help them thrive. If digestion is your Berner's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds extra digestive support on top.
Heart & healthy aging support
Like many giant breeds, Bernese Mountain Dogs reach their senior years earlier than smaller dogs, often around age 6 or 7. That makes every year precious, and a little extra support for heart, brain, and energy helps keep their best days going. Regular checkups, gentle activity, and keeping them lean all help.
How supplements add support
Every Canine Keeps formula includes omega-3s from fish oil and DHA, which support heart, brain, and eye health, plus antioxidant-rich blueberry and spirulina to help protect cells as they age. For senior Berners, a healthy aging focus adds ingredients like CoQ10 and taurine for extra heart and vitality support.
