When it comes to your dog’s health, muscles play a huge role in their mobility, energy, and overall well-being—especially as they age. The good news? You don’t have to wait until problems arise to take action. Here are four proactive steps you can take today to support your pup’s muscle health and keep them strong for years to come.

1. Prioritize Daily Movement

Regular exercise is key to maintaining lean muscle. From walks and hikes to fetch and agility games, keeping your dog active helps build and preserve muscle mass. Tailor the activity to your dog’s breed and energy level, and remember—consistency is more important than intensity!

2. Feed a Balanced, Protein-Rich Diet
Nutrition fuels muscle development. Make sure your dog is getting high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients in every meal. If you're unsure what’s best, your vet can help guide you toward the right formula for your dog’s age and lifestyle.

3. Incorporate MYOS Canine Muscle Formula
Our MYOS Canine Muscle Formula is made with Fortetropin®, a single, all-natural ingredient shown to support muscle health and recovery. Adding it to your dog’s routine is an easy and science-backed way to help maintain strength, especially for aging dogs or those recovering from injury.

4. Don’t Skip Rest & Recovery
Just like humans, dogs need rest to rebuild and repair muscle tissue. Make sure your pup gets plenty of sleep and downtime, especially after a big play session or long walk. Recovery days are just as important as exercise days when it comes to building lasting strength.

Taking these small but impactful steps now can make a big difference in your dog’s long-term health and mobility. Whether your dog is a young go-getter or a wise senior, proactive muscle care helps them live their happiest, most active life.
