# peptidesfor.dog > Plain facts on peptides for dogs: what is known, what isn't, and which sellers prove what's in the product. Not veterinary advice, and we never recommend a dose. Key facts: no peptide here is FDA-approved for animals, and no trial testing any of them as a treatment in dogs has been published. 1 of 10 sellers shows an outside lab document, and it is for another client's batch. Some links are paid and marked; payment never changes a ranking. ## Peptides - [BPC-157 for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/bpc-157/): a short chain of amino acids that has been studied in the lab since the 1990s, mostly for gut and tissue healing - [TB-500 for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/tb-500/): a lab-made peptide based on part of thymosin beta-4, a protein the body makes itself, studied in the lab for wound and tissue repair - [GHK-Cu for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/ghk-cu/): a small copper-binding peptide found naturally in the body, studied mostly for skin and wound repair - [KPV for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/kpv/): a three-amino-acid fragment of a natural hormone (alpha-MSH), studied in the lab mostly for gut and skin inflammation - [Selank for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/selank/): a lab-made peptide based on tuftsin, a small fragment of an immune protein, developed in Russia and studied in people for anxiety - [Semax for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/semax/): a lab-made peptide based on a fragment of ACTH, a natural hormone, developed in Russia and studied in people after stroke - [MOTS-c for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/mots-c/): a small peptide coded by the cell's mitochondria, studied in the lab for metabolism and exercise - [CJC-1295 for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/cjc-1295/): a lab-made version of the hormone that tells the body to release growth hormone - [Ipamorelin for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/ipamorelin/): a lab-made peptide that makes the body release growth hormone, tested in people for gut recovery after surgery - [IGF-1 LR3 for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/igf-1-lr3/): a lab-made, longer-lasting version of IGF-1, the growth factor the body makes in response to growth hormone - [DSIP for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/dsip/): delta sleep-inducing peptide, first described in the 1970s and studied for sleep with mixed results - [GHRP-6 for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/ghrp-6/): a lab-made peptide that makes the body release growth hormone, used in research to test the pituitary gland - [Thymogen for dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/peptides/thymogen/): a two-amino-acid peptide (Glu-Trp) developed in Russia as an immune medicine, listed as an ingredient in some pet oils ## Conditions - [Torn ACL (CCL) in dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/torn-acl/): The most common reason for a sudden back-leg limp. - [Hip dysplasia in dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/hip-dysplasia/): A loose hip joint that wears down over time. - [IVDD (slipped disc) in dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/ivdd/): A disc in the spine bulges and presses on nerves. - [Wounds and hot spots in dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/wounds/): Sores that heal slowly or keep coming back from licking. - [Joint pain](https://peptidesfor.dog/joint-pain/): Limping, stiffness and sore joints, from torn ligaments to arthritis. - [Gut problems](https://peptidesfor.dog/gut-problems/): Diarrhea, vomiting and long-running gut trouble. - [Skin allergies](https://peptidesfor.dog/skin-allergies/): Itching, licking and red skin that keeps coming back. - [Senior dogs](https://peptidesfor.dog/senior/): Slowing down, stiffness and the changes of an older dog. - [Weight loss](https://peptidesfor.dog/weight-loss/): An overweight dog, or a dog getting thin without trying. - [FDA-approved peptides](https://peptidesfor.dog/fda-approved/): Which peptide drugs are approved for this animal, and the status of the ones sold online. - [Human peptides and pets](https://peptidesfor.dog/human-peptides/): Drugs, vials and supplements made for people: what changes when an animal gets them. ## Guides - [Should you give your dog peptides after TPLO surgery?](https://peptidesfor.dog/torn-acl/after-tplo-surgery/): No peptide has been shown to speed TPLO recovery in dogs.
