Creatine Canine

The Science

What we know about creatine + dogs

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue. A dog's body makes some creatine, and diet can provide additional creatine.

Creatine is well studied in humans. The canine research base is much smaller, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

So we're formulating conservatively with a Ph.D. animal nutritionist, and we'll publish product-specific evidence and approved claims as that work develops.

Our Position

How we talk about evidence

  • Creatine is one of the most studied dietary compounds in humans.

    That body of work is why creatine is familiar. It is not, on its own, a statement about what any product does in dogs.

  • The canine research base is much smaller.

    There is published work on dietary creatine in dogs, but it is limited. We'd rather say that plainly than dress it up.

  • So we formulate conservatively, and we say less.

    Creatine Canine is a daily dried bite formulated with creatine and protein by a Ph.D. animal nutritionist. We will publish product-specific evidence and approved claims as they are reviewed and confirmed — not before.
