Phenomind™: a natural solution to limit the effects of aging on dogs and maintain the bond between pets and owners.

Pets’ life span has been continuously increasing over the past years. Advanced age in dogs is frequently associated with memory loss and decline of physical vitality. As their loyal friends age, dog owners witness them being less dynamic, less prompted to play, and more sensitive to environmental factors. And with time, interactions between dogs and their parents deteriorates thus eroding their connection.

To maintain the bond and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their parents, Phenomind™ has been developed as a solution made from scientifically proven ingredients that enhance dogs’ living conditions.

Keep the fond memories alive, keep the connection on.
By enriching our BonaCibo Adult Dog Foods with Phenomind™, which is a natural source of polyphenols that consists of grape and blueberry extracts, we have developed brand-new dog foods.

Our new adult dog foods have a strong positive impact on memory regression by ageing on dogs of all breeds. It helps maintain the communication and of course friendship bonds between pets and owners for a longer time by protecting dogs’ cognitive abilities through ageing.

Phenomind™ has scientifically proven its performance.
