Frequently asked questions

PeptidePaw is a free set of plain-language guides about pet peptides, written for dog owners. We explain the basics, the routine and the questions to ask, without jargon.

No. PeptidePaw does not sell anything. When you are ready to buy, our Shop links take you to SlowChew, the store for the tablet these guides describe.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. A pet peptide product puts a specific blend of them into an easy-to-give form, such as a daily flavored tablet.

Six, by name: BPC-157, Cartalax, Thymogen, KPV, Epitalon and Pinealon. Each SlowChew tablet uses one, two or three of them, named on the label. Our page The peptides in SlowChew lists which tablet holds which.

It is a tablet built in two phases rather than one. For an owner, it means a simple routine: one flavored tablet a day, sized to your dog’s weight.

It goes by weight. Under 30 lb, ½ tablet daily. 30 to 75 lb, 1 tablet daily. Over 75 lb, 1½ tablets daily. Never double up if you miss a day; just carry on the next day.

Yes. Dogs under 30 lb get half a tablet, so splitting is expected. Store the other half sealed and use it the next day.

Not yet. Everything on PeptidePaw, and the SlowChew tablet, is for dogs only.

Yes. Every dog is different. Bring the label to your veterinarian before you start, and ask the questions in our vet guide.
