# Peptides for dogs with hip dysplasia · Canitide

Hip dysplasia is structural; no peptide reshapes a joint. What owners use for the tissue around it, the research, and the vet conversation first.

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.

## 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.
