Wild Birds in Malaysia Are Helping Dogs with Severe Skin Problems, Scientists Say

Pet parents can try this science-based solution free when they join the MIRANEST 30-day Hot Spot Challenge.

CAMPBELL, Calif., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- High on the cliffs in Borneo, tiny birds known as swiftlets build nests that contain the highest natural concentration of sialic acid in the world. Now, this and other glyconutrients found in swiftlet nests are making a significant impact in pet health, especially skin and coat issues.

The nests, made from swiftlet saliva (much like bees make royal jelly), are hand-harvested and incorporated into MIRANEST signature formulas in an ISO-certified laboratory. Humans have consumed swiftlet nest for health for more than 1,300 years, and veterinarians at leading Japanese universities are studying and recommending the products because of their beneficial effects on pet dermatitis, hair growth, and overall vitality.

"Hot spots, allergies, and other skin and coat issues are so common in dogs today," says Inatomi Mikiya, the founder and CEO of MIRANEST. "The conventional treatments have always included steroids and harsh pharmaceuticals, which have terrible side effects for dogs and the planet. We wanted to create a natural alternative that was just as effective. Research consistently shows the efficacy of glyconutrients, but since most commercial dog foods don't contain enough, we found a more potent natural source from our proprietary swiftlet nest extract and other ingredients from the Earth."

MIRANEST works in close collaboration with the Malaysian government and conservation authorities to ensure the swiftlet nest used in their products is harvested using ethical, sustainable, cruelty-free practices. They collect only genuine swiftlet nests after they've been abandoned by the babies and parents, leaving the space free for the birds to build anew during the next mating season. And to protect the swiftlets and their habitat, MIRANEST donates a portion of sales to conservation efforts in Borneo.

To spread awareness about their effective natural alternative to harsh drugs for skin and coat problems in dogs, MIRANEST is hosting the 30-Day Hot Spot Challenge. They're offering free samples of their most popular product, Jelly Sticks for Dogs ($120 value), and asking pet parents to try the product for one month. To participate, pet parents simply submit before and after photos of their dog's skin and coat condition. They then have a chance to win even more products, including an additional 3-month supply of MIRANEST ($360 value), a 1-month supply of MIRANEST, or 25% OFF their next MIRANEST purchase.

Jelly Sticks for Dogs feature MIRANEST's bio sustainable swiftlet nest extract and plant-based ingredients to deliver all eight glyconutrients -- essential sugars the body needs to combat inflammation and support tissue repair and regeneration on a cellular level, helping the body heal from the inside out. In fact, 90% of veterinarians surveyed would recommend MIRANEST for patients, and 93% of pet parents see results in as little as 30 days.
