Facts for dog owners
What is known, what is not, and what to ask your vet.
Plain-words guides on dog injuries, surgery recovery and the new peptide trend. Every claim links to its source. Nothing here gives doses or promises a result.
Every finding gets one of four labels.
Peptide claims for dogs run far ahead of the research. Each guide marks where a finding sits so you can see how strong it is before you read the story attached to it.
- StrongestControlled dog trial
Dogs split into groups, with a comparison group. Example: the ELHLD peptide trial after TPLO surgery.
- LimitedSafety study in dogs
Tests whether a compound is tolerated in healthy dogs. It says nothing about healing. Example: BPC-157 in beagles.
- WeakVet or owner report
One dog or a few, with other care happening at the same time. Cannot show what caused a recovery.
- Not dog dataRodent or lab work
Rats, mice and cell studies. Interesting, and not proof for dogs.

Sources on every claimIf a claim has no link, it does not run. Seller pages are marked as sellers.
No doses, no promised resultsWe do not say what to give a dog, and we do not say a product fixes a problem.
We say who we arePuptide publishes this site and may earn when you start a plan. That line sits at the top of every page.
