Peptides for dogs with hip dysplasia
Large breeds, bunny-hopping, a loose gait: hip dysplasia is structural, and no peptide changes the shape of a joint. What owners use is support for the tissue around it.
First, your vet
Radiographs and a conversation about the options, which range from weight management and physiotherapy to surgery. Peptides sit beside those, not instead of them.
What owners use
REPAIR, dosed by band, in eight-week cycles, with the Mobility Protocol for seniors. Large and giant dogs are on the top two bands: 12 and 15 units a dose.
Canitide products are sold for research purposes and are not FDA-approved drugs. Talk to your veterinarian before starting any protocol, and bring the dosing card.

What the research is
The BPC-157 research is on tendon, ligament and muscle in rodents. There is no study of any peptide in canine hip dysplasia; owners are extrapolating, and we say so.

Questions
My dog is two and already dysplastic. Is this for puppies?
Canitide products are for dogs over one year. A young dysplastic dog needs an orthopedic plan first; ask your vet whether a home protocol fits it.
Which band is a 95 lb dog?
Giant, 90 lb and up: 15 units of REPAIR a dose. A cartridge lasts about four weeks at that dose.
