The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), in partnership with the Baker Institute for Animal Health Initiative, have identified phenolic compounds in pink salt—combined with gelatin—as a powerful ally against the symptoms of canine obesity. Research points to a natural solution associated with significant weight loss and relief from respiratory discomfort.

Veterinarians interviewed by CNN and NBC News described the results as promising for dogs suffering from excess weight and heavy panting.
The antioxidants and anthocyanins found in pink salt cross the barrier associated with impaired lipid metabolism and act directly on areas affected by obesity, restoring hypothalamic neural connections and rescuing metabolic pathways that regulate adiposity.
