Fortetropin®, the active ingredient in MYOS Canine Muscle Formula, plays a vital role in supporting canine muscle health—especially in dogs facing age-related muscle loss, injury recovery, or periods of inactivity. But to get the most out of this powerful, all-natural ingredient, it’s important to take a whole-dog approach.
As a veterinarian, you are in a unique position to guide pet parents toward supportive practices that work in synergy with Fortetropin. Here are key steps that can help maximize the results.
Pair Fortetropin with Regular, Low-Impact Exercise
Fortetropin supports healthy muscle function—but muscles need movement to stay strong. Encourage pet parents to incorporate appropriate exercise into their dog’s routine:
- Short, frequent walks to build endurance
- Gentle incline walking (on hills or treadmills) for hindlimb engagement
- Controlled play sessions that keep the dog active without overexertion
- Physical therapy or structured rehab plans if recovering from injury or surgery
Consistent movement helps stimulate muscle engagement and complements the muscle-supporting nutrients in Fortetropin.
Prioritize a High-Quality Diet
Fortetropin is a great addition to a well-rounded nutritional plan. Recommend that pet parents feed their dogs a complete, balanced diet rich in high-quality protein to supply the amino acids needed for muscle maintenance and repair.
Consider:
- Premium commercial diets with clearly labeled protein sources
- Fresh or minimally processed options (when appropriate)
- Avoiding excess fillers or ultra-processed ingredients that offer limited nutritional benefit
Dogs recovering from muscle loss or surgery may also benefit from slight increases in dietary protein, under your guidance.
Ensure Consistent Daily Use
One of the most common reasons pet parents don’t see optimal results is inconsistent use. Emphasize that Fortetropin should be given daily for best effect. MYOS Canine Muscle Formula is easy to sprinkle over food—encourage pet parents to make it part of their daily feeding routine.
Tips to improve compliance:
- Keep the container next to the food bowl as a visual reminder
- Use it as a meal topper for picky eaters—it has a palatable flavor
- Track progress in a journal or app to reinforce daily use and celebrate milestones
Support with Routine Check-Ins
Regular follow-ups allow you to monitor the dog’s progress, adjust exercise recommendations, and reinforce best practices. Encourage pet parents to share updates on:
- Energy levels and stamina
- Muscle tone and weight distribution
- Mobility and gait improvements
- Appetite and overall demeanor
These updates help you personalize your approach and maintain momentum on the muscle health journey.
Set Realistic Goals and Timelines
Building or maintaining muscle, especially in older or recovering dogs, is a gradual process. Educate pet parents that while some improvements may be seen within weeks, meaningful changes often take consistent effort over time.
Remind them that progress is still progress—even if it’s small. Improved comfort, steadier gait, or less fatigue during walks are all wins worth acknowledging.
Helping Pet Parents Feel Empowered
When veterinarians and pet parents work together, the results can be truly rewarding. Fortetropin is a valuable tool in your muscle health toolbox, and with the right strategies in place, it can support stronger, healthier outcomes for the dogs in your care.
Encourage pet parents to view MYOS Canine Muscle Formula as part of a bigger picture—one that includes smart nutrition, intentional movement, and consistent routines.
