Chronic loose stool, a sensitive stomach, a dog that goes off food: the gut is where oral peptides make sense, and where no needle is needed.

## First, your vet

A fecal test and a diet trial with your vet. Parasites, food sensitivity and pancreatitis are the usual suspects and each has a specific fix.

## What owners use

GUT: oral BPC-157 arginate with KPV in a delayed-release capsule, one a day for small dogs and two for everyone else, opened over food or given whole.

## What the research is

BPC-157 was originally investigated for gastric and intestinal protection; a 2018 review covers the brain-gut axis work. KPV has a 2008 mouse colitis study on PepT1 uptake. No canine trial.

## Questions

### Needle-free for real?

Yes. GUT is the one Canitide formula with no pen involved.

### Can I give GUT with REPAIR?

Yes. Oral and injectable BPC-157 are used together by owners; add the second two weeks after the first.
