What is in each serving

Nine actives, and every amount is printed.

Two chews provide 150 mg of calcium HMB, 160 mg of leucine, three more amino acids, wild Alaskan salmon oil, green-lipped mussel, yeast beta-glucan and vitamin C — each with its amount beside it. No proprietary blend. What the chews cannot do is build muscle on their own; that is what walking, climbing and play do.

What each ingredient is
Calcium HMB
Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, a compound the body makes from leucine, here bound to calcium; 150 mg per two chews.
Leucine, valine and isoleucine
The three branched-chain amino acids, essential in the diet.
Arginine and glutamine
Two more amino acids, printed with their amounts.
Wild Alaskan salmon oil and green-lipped mussel
Marine sources of omega-3 fatty acids: 150 mg and 100 mg per two chews.
Yeast beta-glucan and vitamin C
A fibre from yeast cell walls and a familiar antioxidant vitamin: 50 mg and 40 mg.
What is in it

HMB and amino acids, with marine oils alongside

Leucine is an essential amino acid, and HMB is a compound the body makes from it. Valine, isoleucine, arginine and glutamine complete the amino-acid side. Salmon oil and green-lipped mussel add marine fatty acids, and yeast beta-glucan and vitamin C round out the panel. Every amount is on the label.

How much to give

By weight, alongside daily activity

Offer the chews by hand or with food, at the daily amount for your dog's weight, and pair them with activity that suits your dog: walks, gentle hills, play. Muscle is kept by being used; the chews support that routine rather than replace it.

10 lb or less
1 chew a day
11–39 lb
2 chews a day
40–79 lb
3 chews a day
80 lb or more
4 chews a day

Getting started

  1. Start with one chew for a few days, then move to the amount for your dog's weight.
  2. Several chews a day can be split between morning and evening.
  3. Each chew is about 8.6 kcal; count it with the day's treats.
What to expect

Support for a routine, not a shortcut

Older dogs lose muscle slowly, often first over the back legs and hips. The things that make the biggest difference are regular movement, a diet with enough good-quality protein, and a healthy weight. These chews are a nutritional addition to that, not a substitute for it, and sudden weakness or lameness needs a veterinarian, not a supplement.

Who it is not for

Read the label before the first chew

These chews contain shellfish, fish, chicken and soy ingredients, so they are not for dogs with a known sensitivity to any of them. If your dog has a medical condition or takes medication, ask your veterinarian before starting. For dogs only.

A typical mobility-and-muscle chew

  • "Performance blend" — total weight only
  • HMB listed, amount not stated
  • Joint actives, amounts not stated
  • Flavouring
  • Bulking agents

Illustrative of the category, not any particular brand. If a label names HMB but not how much, you cannot compare it with anything.

The first eight weeks

Write down three ordinary things before you start.

Muscle changes slowly, and the eye adjusts to a dog it sees every day. Note three things on day 0 and check the same three at week four and week eight.

  1. 1

    Getting up

    From lying down: one smooth movement, or a push with the front legs?

  2. 2

    The walk

    How far before your dog slows or wants to turn back?

  3. 3

    Back legs

    One photo from behind, standing, in the same light

This is a daily food supplement, not a treatment. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Your veterinarian is the right person to ask about weakness, lameness or weight loss.

What the research actually says

Every canine HMB study we could verify — small, partly industry-linked, one with no effect — and at doses well above these chews.

    Scientific Reports

    Randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover pilot in six dogs with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 3 g HMB daily for 28 days. Daily activity and protein metabolism measures improved; strength and muscle tissue were not measured.

    37 racing greyhounds randomised to 1 g calcium HMB daily or control over a 12-week meet; race times worsened less in the HMB group. The authors work for, or consult to, the company that developed HMB.

    Randomised, double-blind study in obese senior dogs on a weight-loss programme, 20 completed. The author reports no significant effect of calcium HMB on any measured parameter.

    Read study

    UNESP repository

Canine HMB research is thin: one small pilot in a muscle disease, one industry-linked study in racing dogs, and a null result in senior dogs. The amounts studied were 1–3 g a day; these chews provide 150 mg of calcium HMB per two chews. We do not claim these results for this product.

Before you order

The questions people actually ask.

Will this rebuild muscle my dog has already lost?

Not on its own. Movement and diet do the work; the chews are a nutritional addition. If your dog is losing muscle or weight quickly, see your veterinarian first.

Is 150 mg of HMB a lot?

It is the amount in two chews, and we print it so you can compare. The few canine HMB studies used 1–3 g a day; we do not claim their results for this product. You can read them in the research section below.

My dog is allergic to shellfish or fish.

Do not use it. The chews contain green-lipped mussel (shellfish) and salmon oil (fish), as well as chicken and soy.

Can I give it with the green-lipped mussel powder?

Yes. The chews contain 100 mg of green-lipped mussel per two chews, far less than a scoop of the powder, so the two do not overlap much. Count the chews' calories with the day's treats.

My dog takes medication.

Ask your veterinarian before adding anything new, especially if your dog has a medical condition.

How long before I notice anything?

Give it at least eight weeks alongside regular activity, and compare notes rather than impressions. Some owners notice nothing, and that is worth knowing too.
