Calm & focus support
Widely considered one of the smartest dog breeds, Border Collies were bred to work sheep for hours with intense focus. Without enough physical and mental work, they can herd kids, chase cars, or fixate on shadows. Daily exercise, training, herding or dog sports, and puzzles help them feel focused and settled.
How supplements add support
Every Canine Keeps formula includes calming botanicals like ashwagandha and chamomile in our Keepwell Blend™, plus omega-3s that support brain health. If calm is your Border Collie's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds calming support with ingredients like L-theanine and passionflower.
Hip & joint support
Border Collies are elite athletes, sprinting, crouching, turning, and leaping all day. That agility keeps their hips and joints busy. Keeping them lean, warming up before intense play, and limiting repetitive high jumps while they're growing 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 Border Collie's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds more targeted support on top.
Skin & coat support
Whether rough or smooth, a Border Collie's double coat sheds year-round and heavily with the seasons. Brushing a few times a week, more during shedding, and occasional 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.
Heart & healthy aging support
Border Collies often stay sharp and active well into their senior years, which usually start around age 10. Eye health and a sharp mind are worth supporting as they age. Regular checkups, steady activity, and plenty of brain games help them age well.
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 Border Collies, a healthy aging focus adds ingredients like CoQ10 and taurine for extra heart and vitality support.
