K-9 Thrive™ with goBHB®

Science-Backed Energy for Dogs

Why Dogs Deserve More Than Basic Nutrition

Dogs are family. With 48% of U.S. households owning at least one, the demand for advanced pet health solutions is rising. Traditional dog food and supplements often focus on calories or joint health—but cellular energy and brain support are overlooked.

Just like humans, dogs benefit from ketones. goBHB®, a bioidentical form of beta-hydroxybutyrate, delivers clean cellular energy that fuels the brain, heart, and muscles. Now, that science is being translated into a canine-specific formula designed to support calmness, cognitive health, mobility, and weight management.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Product Design: Tailored for Dogs

K-9 Thrive™ is formulated to deliver metabolic support in a dog-friendly format.

  • Patented BHB + C8 MCT Blend: Optimized in bone broth for canine metabolism.
  • Calming Agents (research pending): Chamomile or L-theanine for stress resilience.
  • Easy Administration: Flavored broth powder or gravy mix for seamless use.

Core Benefits of goBHB® for Dogs

  • Stress & Anxiety Support – Promotes calmness and resilience in stressful situations.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Potential – Supports mobility and may slow age-related decline.
  • Cognitive Support – Helps preserve memory and learning in senior dogs.
  • Weight Management Aid – Provides an alternative energy source to support healthy body weight.

How It Works: Canine Science

Like humans, dogs shift to ketone metabolism during fasting or low-glucose states. Exogenous BHB delivers this alternative fuel directly, bypassing the need for strict diets.

  • Neuroprotection: BHB crosses the blood-brain barrier, fueling neurons while reducing oxidative stress.
  • Mitochondrial Energy: More ATP per oxygen molecule than glucose, helping aging dogs maintain vitality.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Role: Studies show BHB may reduce systemic inflammation, improving joint comfort .

Target Audiences

  • Owners of Anxious Dogs – Thunderstorms, travel, separation anxiety.
  • Senior Dog Owners – Supporting mobility, memory, and comfort in aging pets.
  • Weight-Conscious Owners – Helping manage canine obesity with a clean fuel source.
  • Holistic Health Seekers – Owners wanting science-backed, natural alternatives.

The Pet Market Opportunity

Pet wellness is a $136 billion global industry (2022), with functional pet nutrition as one of the fastest-growing segments. Just as humans have embraced functional energy and cognitive support, pet owners now seek advanced solutions for longevity and well-being.

By positioning K-9 Thrive™ with goBHB®, the gold standard of ketone energy, brands can meet the demand for next-generation pet supplements—grounded in clinical science and built for trust.

Why It Matters

Every wag, run, and playful bark reflects a dog’s energy and vitality. By giving them the same cellular fuel that humans rely on, K-9 Thrive™ helps dogs stay calm, sharp, and active—at every stage of life.
