Questions, answered.
Everything people ask before the first scoop.
How do I feed it?
One level scoop per 10 kg (22 lb) of body weight, once a day, to the nearest half scoop. The scoop has a half line inside. Mix it into wet food, or moisten kibble with a tablespoon or two of warm water so the granules cling.
What is actually in it?
Seven actives, every amount on the label: bioactive collagen peptides, PEA (Levagen+), eggshell membrane (NEM), green-lipped mussel, UC-II undenatured type II collagen, plant-fermented glucosamine and L-carnitine, in a beef-liver coated granule with natural vitamin E. No sugar, glycerin, dairy, soft-chew binders or synthetic preservatives.
How is this different from a chew?
Chews need binders, humectants and sugars to stay soft, and the actives have to fit around them. A granule is mostly active: the collagen peptides are the body of it. It also goes into food, so a dog that spits out chews does not get a vote.
When will I see a change?
Plan on weeks, not days. The fast layer (PEA, eggshell membrane) was studied for change inside the first weeks; the collagen layer keeps building past month three. That is why the guarantee runs 90 days.
What does the research say?
Each active has its own published research in dogs, and we list it on the formula page. Those studies tested the ingredients, not BarkReserve itself, and we say so. BarkReserve supports joint comfort and mobility; it does not treat or cure any condition.
Can my dog take it alongside medication?
The actives are food-derived and widely used, but if your dog is on medication, has a health condition or is pregnant, check with your vet first. Supplements support normal function; they are not a substitute for veterinary care.
When will my order arrive?
Orders ship and deliver within 3 business days, free, anywhere in the United States. Your plan then ships on its schedule, every 4 weeks to every 2 months depending on your dog’s size, and you are billed monthly.
How does the guarantee work?
Use it for up to 90 days. If you do not see a difference, or your dog refuses it, email us and we refund you. No return shipping, no forms.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Not yet. United States only for now.
