CaniNectar is a malty liquid supplement that you add to your dog’s food. It contains an enzyme-rich malt extract made from barley, along with B vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and is designed to support digestion, nutrient absorption and a balanced gut microbiome.

I first tried CaniNectar with Bodie as part of a four-week trial exploring its potential effects on dogs who are anxious, heightened or find it difficult to chill out. I kept a daily diary to help me decide whether I was genuinely seeing changes.

During the trial, Bodie seemed noticeably more chilled, particularly when it came to barking at wildlife in the garden. Of course, this is only my experience with my dog, and I can’t say for certain that every change was caused by CaniNectar. But I noticed enough of a difference that I was happy to become an ambassador and continue using it.

Bodie is not a picky eater, but he absolutely loves the malty taste. I have mixed it into his food and drizzled it over and around the edges of his raw or lightly cooked platters. He happily laps it up.

The amount needed depends on your dog’s weight and can be divided between meals. Full feeding instructions are provided on the CaniNectar website.
