What Is Ultra-Flex Collagen For Pets?
Ultra-Flex Collagen for Pets is a natural, “whole-food” supplement that is tasteless and easy to administer. Just sprinkle on your pet’s food - one dose a day is all you need to give your pet powerful joint support. The ingredients are backed by extensive research and clinical trials.
Collagen is a structural protein found in the bones, muscles, skin, tendons, and digestive tract of your pet. It is the “cellular glue” that holds the body together. Natural collagen production declines as your pet ages, which can lead to decreased elasticity and stability in the joints, muscles and connective tissue. Dull, dry fur and skin can also be due to lower collagen levels as your dog or cat ages.
The key ingredient in Ultra-Flex Collagen for dogs and cats is NEM® brand eggshell membrane - a safe, all-natural whole-food source containing three varieties of collagen, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, and enzymes, which support joints and connective tissue. Ultra-Flex Collagen for dogs and cats contains key enzymes for enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
Indicated For: Cats and dogs needing joint support, dogs with a collapsed trachea, pets with ACL tears, canine and feline arthritis, pets with malabsorption and digestive issues, pets with soft tissue injuries, senior dogs with GOLPP, pets allergic to glucosamine. Effective tracheal collapse supplement. Can be used as a cat or dog joint pain home remedy.
Made From Food: An All-Natural Way To Help
Your Pet's Joints, Ligaments and Connective Tissue
- Exceptional Pet Supplement for Mobility and Joint Support; Strengthens Cartilage and Connective Tissue
One of the most difficult things to watch is your dog or cat not being able to run or play like they used to because of arthritis or pain. Age-related joint and soft tissue pain is something that most dogs and cats will experience during their senior years. Around 80% of your pet’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments are made up of collagen and it is crucial in keeping these connective tissues flexible. With aging, collagen production decreases and this can play a major role in arthritis and joint pain. As collagen is depleted, the protein connections weaken and this can make your pet more susceptible to tendon and ligament injuries such as torn cruciate ligaments, luxating patella, and elbow and hip dysplasia. Collagen supplementation can help maintain connective tissue health, improve mobility in pets and provide pain relief for cats with arthritis or dogs with arthritis.
Ultra-Flex Collagen provides nutritional support to the bones and joints to repair existing joint damage and to help prevent further damage. It helps to repair the cartilage and connective tissue on a cellular level and helps to reduce inflammation and pain. Recent scientific studies show that collagen from NEM® eggshell membrane is a viable therapeutic option for the management of the pain and loss of function associated with suboptimal joint function in dogs.*

Cartilage is the flexible tissue that provides cushioning between the bones and joints. It also makes up the vertebral discs and bronchial tubes. Cartilage is made of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagen and elastin. Our Ultra-Flex Collagen is made with NEM® eggshell membranes. They naturally contain many of the same key nutrients found in healthy joint cartilage:
- Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are used in the body as shock absorbers and lubricants. Glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid are commonly utilized as individual arthritis and joint support supplements for pets. They provide support for joint mobility, healthy lubrication and promote cartilage synthesis.
- Proteoglycans are proteins that occur in connective tissue and the extracellular matrix – the fibrous substance that provides structural and biochemical support between cells.
- Collagen is the building block of your pet’s joints, bones, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues. Also helps to reduce inflammation.
- Elastin gives elasticity to tissues, allowing them to stretch and retract. Provides support in the skin, lungs and spine, as these tissues contain high amounts of elastins.
Ultra-Flex Collagen can be added to your pet’s diet as a preventative when they are young to help keep their joints and soft tissue strong. Clients have found collagen to be a hypoallergenic joint supplement for dogs. It is an excellent choice for pets that have allergies to the shellfish found in glucosamine or those that are especially picky about herbal formulas. If your pet is taking ArthroSoothe, Adequan injections or another glucosamine remedy, Ultra-Flex will work synergistically to promote joint repair, increase mobility and reduce joint degeneration.
Ultra-Flex Collagen has been one of Ask Ariel’s most effective tracheal collapse supplements. Collapsed trachea is characterized by dogs hacking, coughing (often sounds like "honking") and gasping for air. This natural tracheal collapse supplement will help strengthen the trachea cartilage, reducing symptoms over time. It works best when used in conjunction with Amazing Omegas, Purrfect Pet CoQ10, Power Probiotic and LypoZyme. Collapsed trachea is aggravated by poor digestion and inflammation. Our collapsed trachea treatment includes important diet changes along with digestive supplements (LypoZyme and Power Probiotic), since food allergies and poor digestion increase inflammation and irritate the esophagus, which can make coughing and hacking worse.
Ultra-Flex Collagen is also helpful for dogs with laryngeal paralysis and GOLPP. With these conditions, the laryngeal cartilage no longer functions normally and breathing is restricted. Supporting and strengthening the connective tissue may delay the need for surgery and reduce symptoms.
- Helps Digestion & Supports a Healthy Intestinal Lining
Many illnesses can be traced back to inflammation and irritations within the digestive tract that can lead to health conditions such as IBD, acid reflux, colitis and even autoimmune disease. Improving digestion to reduce inflammation and increase the proper absorption of nutrients is the key to good health.
Collagen aids in digestion by breaking down proteins and it can help repair and soothe the gut lining. Collagen can strengthen the connective tissue in your pet's intestinal lining and reduce permeability. Collagen has a high glycine content. Glycine is an amino acid that helps to break down fat, strengthens the integrity of the intestinal wall and can bind with toxic substances to help excrete them from the body.
Ultra-Flex Collagen supports a healthy GI tract by strengthening the connective tissue in your pet's intestinal lining. Use it with Power Probiotic to improve digestion, absorption, immunity and your pet's overall well-being.
- Promotes Skin Health and a Healthy Coat
The skin and coat are crucial to the health of your pet. Dry skin or brittle fur can signal a serious health condition, such as thyroid disorders or kidney and liver disease. The skin and coat system is actually the largest organ in dogs and cats. The dermis layer of the skin contains blood vessels, hair follicles, and glands that help to regulate skin and body temperature. Collagen makes up the majority of the protein in your pet’s skin. A healthy dermis layer will provide strength and flexibility for the skin and will help to maintain skin elasticity, a soft, shiny coat, and strong, powerful nails. Ultra-Flex Collagen can help to improve skin, fur and nail health. If your cat or dog suffers from itchy, dry skin or cracked nails, adding Amazing Omegas can help keep the dermis healthy and promote coat and nail wellness.

Benji
"My name is Benji. I am 14 year old Yorkshire Terrier and a few years ago I started have episodes where I couldn't catch my breath. My owners took me to the vet and were told it was a collapsing trachea. My owners do not like pharmaceutical medications so they did a web search and found you. They ordered for me the Ultra-Flex Collagen For Pets. After about a month my symptoms were gone. I have only had a couple of episodes and that has been on very cold days. Thank you for providing this wonderful product because I was very scared when not being able to catch my breath."

Ember
"Our 7 year old Pudlepointer Ember suffered a devastating leg injury 2 years ago. She suffered a committed fracture which required multiple surgeries and plating if her leg. Her vet recommended several supplements and we even tried injections to reduce her pain and limping. I turned to Ask Ariel for advice and started Ember on Ultra-Flex and Arthrosoothe. Within two weeks, she had completely stopped limping and was running like the wind! She was doing so well, when the supplements ran out, we didn't bother to refill. Fast forward a few months and the poor dog is limping again with no initiating incident. We put Ember back on arthrosoothe and ultraflex and it worked even faster this time! No more going off supplements, thank you for helping our dear, sweet Ember ❤"

Piper
"I just wanted to take time to thank you for your wonderful products. My 6 year old Morkie, Piper, was starting to suffer from several symptoms of collapsed trachea and I was getting really nervous. One night I researched online and found your products and client testimonials so I purchased the Ultra-Flex Collagen and Power Probiotic. Within just a couple of the days of use almost all of her symptoms had subsided. I plan to purchase some additional products you recommend for collapsed trachea but wanted to let you know that I am amazed and truly grateful for your products - they work!!!"

"Here is a picture of our two Italian Greyhounds Chip (on the left) and Princess who are nearly 12 years old. Chip has collapsed trachea but we have been giving him Ultraflex Collagen Support consistently for over a year which has helped calm the horrible, honking cough he had previously. He still has days when he coughs but it is no longer the coughing that sounds like a goose."
Sharon, VA
Bianca
"I am very happy with your products. In 2016, Bianca had her teeth cleaned and it caused partial damage to her trachea. It was so bad that the medicine they put her on wasn't helping. That's when someone from Facebook told me about your company and your Ultraflex Collagen Product. It worked miracles for Bianca and she was able to get off the other medicine. In 2018, she developed kidney disease. I purchased your Kidney Health and Bianca was tested again and her kidney function has improved. That is amazing! I am so grateful for your company and knowledge."

Beau
"Beau is a Yorkie mix rescue, who came into our family one year ago. He was half blind, with dry skin issues, and recently tore his ACL. We put him on Amazing Omegas and Ultra Flex joint supplements. Beau's skin is 100 percent better, with the shiniest of coats, and he is recovering nicely from his ACL tear without surgery! We swear by your products, and you have a loyal customer for life!"

Buster
“This is Buster, adopted from my local shelter 6 years ago. He has a collapsing trachea, so I’ve been giving him Ultra-Flex Collagen, Soothing Digestive Relief, Gastro-ULC and Power Probiotic for about the last 6 months. He has had great relief from his symptoms and the vet said his breathing sounds better than it did 6 months ago! His intermittent diarrhea is no longer a problem either...I’m very pleased with how well these products are supporting Buster’s health.”

Jaspurr
“Our lil boy, Jaspurr, is doing amazing with his supplements from you (UltraFlex, Power Probiotic, Soothing Digestive) and his diet changes for his IBD. At 17 yrs and 9 months old, he still runs around and plays with his two brothers, Bailey (7.5 yrs old) and Tinker (2.7 yrs old). I switched them all to grain free/gluten free foods and Power Probiotic and they are just great.”
Joyce and Bob C., PA
"My 13 yr old maltese has been struggling with a dry cough and passing out due to her collapsing trachea. I got UltraFlex, and I can not believe it, 3rd day, no coughing or passing out. It is truly a miracle, and I am a customer for the rest of her life. Thank you so much, she is my fur baby."

Tango
"I just wanted to thank you for your help and tell you that Ultraflex is a real winner. I noticed my 10 year old Yorkie Tango was breathing differently like he was congested, particularly when he slept at night (and he sleeps with us, so I can hear him). I read about how older Yorkies have a tendency towards trachea issues. I started Tango on the Ultraflex Collagen Support and the whole breathing situation has COMPLETELY cleared up and he is breathing very comfortably. Also, Tango will be 10 years old this October, and he is showing signs of arthritis … a little limping, resisting exercise, not that enthused about walks….. the Ultraflex has significantly helped with the limping too. He has more energy and limps less and throws his ball and engages and plays more. Now, glucosamine has not always agreed with Tango. He often reacts with soft stool and intolerance. So the Ultraflex is a good option for him in terms of joint support. Finally, another benefit of the Ultraflex is I believe it helped to firm up his stools, so collagen helps IBS in some way too."

Sprocket

12 year old Sprocket is Still Going Strong
|
"When she was four years old, Sprocket was diagnosed with Microvascular Liver Dysplasia which was not correctable through surgery, and we were told she would only live maybe two more years. We were very concerned about how to give her a good quality of life. We wanted to use natural treatments as much as possible and found Ask Ariel. Ask Ariel provided us with a diet suggestion and supplements that have kept Sprocket going strong. It is now 8 years that we have been following this regimen for Sprocket and it has been wonderful to see how well she is doing. The Ask Ariel supplements we have given her for liver support are: Oxicell and Kidney Health (as well as another liver support supplement from the vet), and fish oil. As she got older and started limping, we started her on Curcumin for Pets, Arthrosoothe and Ultra-Flex for her collapsing trachea. Sprocket is feeling well and we are so happy we took this holistic approach. We sincerely believe that Sprocket has the looks and life that she does due to her diet and supplements from Ask Ariel."
UPDATE:
"A few years after we’d been giving Sprocket her supplements from Ask Ariel, Sprocket found, and ate, some rat poison at a ranch. The vet said that her diet helped push it through her system and that no doubt, the supplements that she was taking, helped. Although she did have to take medication for the poison, I am certain that her supplement regimen was helpful in keeping her healthy and safe from the medication. A few months later when she had her liver enzymes tested, after the results came in, her vet said: 'If I didn’t know otherwise, I would say that this is a normal healthy dog.' You can only imagine our relief and happiness at hearing that news, and we have Ask Ariel to thank for helping Sprocket live a healthy life."

Ulysse
"Ulysse is our 10 year old Min Pin. He is a very active little guy, loves to fetch, swim and run (he's done a few 5k with me). He had patella luxation surgery at the age of 2. As he got older, I noticed he was having some pain on his back. We did X-rays multiple times and the vet concluded he has arthritis. We started giving him Tramadol and it did help, to some extent, but I was always concerned about creating other issues in the long run. He had pancreatitis in the past and again Tramadol was given. We also did laser treatments but those stopped working after a couple of months. I started to research supplements and herbs because I believe natural remedies do work. We tried many others before we ran into askariel.com products. Another min pin mom loved the products so I said well let's give them a try. By then he had taken metacam (not for long because of all the side effects) and I just couldn't do it.
We decided to give him ARTHROSOOTHE and Ultra-Flex Collagen it took about one week and we were done with the Tramadol. He stopped growling when we touched his back and he started to jump, climb and run non-stop like a crazy little man that just turn two years old instead of 10 years. We just couldn't believe it!!! People at the dog park noticed the difference in his attitude and could tell he was feeling 100% better!!! My old man had turn into a young pup. When winter came along, I was concerned about the cold and his pains, but it didn't faze him. We continued going to the dog park and he would just run and run and run and play with the snow! His two sisters (min pin), the other people and I at the dog park couldn't believe him!
We are so grateful we found Askariel. It changed my Ulysse's life completely!"

Fred
“Our 15 yr old feline Fred says he loves the way “Ultra-Flex Collagen Support” makes him feel. We only do ¼ of a capsule in the morning with his food along with the Power Probiotic. We do Lypozyme at the dinner feeding. Within one month we saw improvements in the way he would get out of his bed, up and down stairs and walk around his outside courtyard. Now after 2 months, he is actually running and playing some with our 11 yr old cat. He has even lost ½ lb since he is able to run and play more. The other day, I saw him run across the yard, which was the first time in a year. Fred says that his other felines should definitely give it a try so they can feel young again!”

Maggie
"My 12 year old dog Maggie loves all the supplements recommended for collapsed trachea. She especially likes the Psy-STABIL drops for when she has a nasty coughing fit."

Daisy and Precious
“My dog Holly passed on from a collapsed trachea. I heard about your supplement (for collapsed trachea) about two weeks after she died to my dismay. She had a full blood work done when she started coughing and it came back wonderful due to the supplements she was on (for liver disease). They were amazed! Well my other dog Daisy... has always gagged after drinking and recently started coughing occasionally when she lies down. It shook me up because that is how Holly started a year ago. I immediately purchased your ultra-flex collagen. She has been taking it for a few weeks now and I noticed she doesn't gag anymore. Listen she has been gagging each time she drank for 2 1/2 years and now she isn't. It is very hard for me not to think I could have saved Holly if I had only known, but I am happy I've found ultra-flex collagen for Daisy.
I want to thank you again for another great product!”
Lori, Pennsylvania 2016
Rocky
“The Ultra-Flex Collagen has been a miracle for Rocky, our 17 year old cat. Rocky needed a little something extra for his joints. We had used Cosequin in the past but it seemed to bother his tummy after ...many years. The Ultra-Flex Collagen from AskAriel was the answer! Within a week....Rocky was running and chasing crickets and playing again like a kitten. We can tell his back legs are already feeling better. Plus, I can't say enough about the power of "Power Probiotic", Lypozyme and Soothing Digestive. All 3 of my babies are taking these now. Thanks again for such wonderful, gentle products to make the babies healthy.”
