About the Barbet

The Barbet is a centuries-old French water dog, bred to retrieve waterfowl from marshes and rivers. Its name comes from barbe, the French word for beard, and it's considered an ancestor of several water dog and poodle-type breeds.

Friendly, playful, and devoted to their people, Barbets thrive on activity and company. That active, water-loving life is part of why daily wellness is worth thinking about early.

Adding a high-quality daily supplement to your Barbet's routine is a great way to support their overall health. Pair it with a healthy diet, daily exercise and swims, regular vet care, and regular brushing and trims.

What's the best supplement for Barbets?

A daily supplement personalized to your Barbet supports a healthy, active life, with targeted support for the areas Barbets need most: their hips and joints, skin, coat, and ears, calm and focus, and heart and healthy aging. The right balance depends on their age, weight, activity level, lifestyle and what you are seeing day to day.

A few quick questions is all it takes to build one formula around them.

Get Started

Hip & joint support

Barbets are athletic French water dogs, bred to retrieve from marshes and rivers. Swimming, running, and playing keep their hips and joints busy. Keeping them lean, plenty of low-impact swimming, and building activity up gradually help keep them moving comfortably.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula starts with our Keepwell Blend™, which includes green-lipped mussel, collagen, and PEA to support cartilage, cushioning, and everyday mobility, plus omega-3s from fish oil and DHA. Most diets don't provide joint-specific nutrients like these in meaningful amounts, so a daily serving keeps them consistent. If joints are your Barbet's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds more targeted support on top.

Skin, coat & ear support

That dense, curly, low-shedding coat is the Barbet's signature, and it needs regular care to stay mat-free. Their hairy, floppy ears can hold moisture after swims too. Brushing several times a week, regular trims, and drying ears well help, and because skin comfort is connected to the gut and immune system, support from the inside matters too.

How supplements add support

Canine Keeps supports skin and coat from the inside, with omega-3s from fish oil and DHA, antioxidant-rich blueberry and spirulina, and probiotics that support the gut-immune connection behind seasonal comfort. Whole foods provide some antioxidants, but every scoop adds a concentrated, consistent amount.

Calm & focus support

Barbets are joyful, people-loving dogs who want to be where you are. Without enough activity or company, they can get restless or anxious. Daily exercise, training games, and plenty of time with their family help them feel happy and settled.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula includes calming botanicals like ashwagandha and chamomile in our Keepwell Blend™, plus omega-3s that support brain health. If calm is your Barbet's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds calming support with ingredients like L-theanine and passionflower.

Heart & healthy aging support

Barbets often stay playful well into their senior years, which typically start around age 10. A strong heart, clear eyes, and a sharp mind help keep those years going strong. Regular checkups and steady daily activity help them age well.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula includes omega-3s from fish oil and DHA, which support heart, brain, and eye health, plus antioxidant-rich blueberry and spirulina to help protect cells as they age. For senior Barbets, a healthy aging focus adds ingredients like CoQ10 and taurine for extra heart and vitality support.

Why Canine Keeps for Barbets

Even a great diet doesn't always cover everything a Barbet needs. Every Canine Keeps formula starts with a foundation of everyday support, then adds targeted ingredients based on your dog's unique needs.

Our formulas are made with premium, human-grade ingredients, formulated by a canine nutritionist, and minimally processed to protect delicate nutrients. A pre-measured scoop makes it easy to give the right amount every day, and because it mixes right into their meal, it quickly becomes part of the daily routine, without the fillers and empty calories that come with many soft chews.

It's support that grows with them, from the puppy years, when building a strong foundation matters most, to their senior years, when a little extra support helps keep their best days going.

What dog parents are saying

“Lily loves her Canine Keeps. Her stool has been firmer, and seems to be less itchy! She actually enjoys her food more now that this is on it.”
Arum K.Lily
“Duke's balanced blend has been a great addition to his diet. With his age (14) he's a very picky eater, but scarfs his food down with the powdered blend. His skin/coat, digestion, and joints have been reenergized.”
Davin Z.Duke, 14 years old
“I've noticed benefits from him on this supplement blend already! He seems to have way more balanced energy, no hip or joint stiffness, and generally happier all around.”
George R.
“Not only does he love the taste of the powder on his food, but I've noticed an improvement in his itching and paw licking! Such an easy and tailored solution to giving your pet supplements.”

Barbet questions, answered

When should I start joint support for my Barbet?

The earlier, the better. Joint support works best as a consistent daily habit that starts before you notice your Barbet slowing down, and every Canine Keeps formula includes it. Our formulas are recommended for dogs 6 months and older.

Can a supplement help my Barbet's curly coat?

Yes. Regular brushing and trims keep that curly coat mat-free on the outside, while a daily supplement supports healthy skin and a soft, resilient coat from the inside out. The two work best together.

How long until I notice a difference?

Many dog parents notice a difference within the first couple of weeks. The best results come with about 90 days of consistent daily use, as the benefits build over time. That's why our flexible deliveries make it easy to never miss a day, and why every order is backed by our 90-day risk-free guarantee.
