Peps for Paws: Veterinary Peptide Compounding for Dogs & Cats
Exploring BPC-157, TB-500 & KPV for Veterinary Patients
At Restore Pharmacy in Tampa, Florida, we believe veterinary patients deserve the same thoughtful approach to customized compounding as our human patients.
Dogs and cats can present unique medication challenges. They vary dramatically in size, may be difficult to pill, and sometimes require individualized concentrations or dosage forms that aren't commercially available.
That's where veterinary compounding can help.
Introducing Peps for Paws, Restore Pharmacy's compounded veterinary peptide formulation featuring:
BPC-157 • TB-500 • KPV
Peps for Paws is prepared as an easy-to-administer liquid formulation for dogs and cats, dispensed in a 30 mL amber glass Boston round bottle with an oral dosing syringe.
The prescribed amount can be administered directly into the pet's mouth or, when directed by the veterinarian, added to food.
Simple for the pet. Simple for the owner. Customized for the patient.
Why Are Peptides Being Explored in Veterinary Medicine?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can function as signaling molecules throughout the body.
Researchers have investigated different peptides for their potential roles in biological processes involving:
Tissue repair
Inflammatory signaling
Gastrointestinal integrity
Wound healing
Angiogenesis
Cellular migration
Tendon and ligament recovery
Interest in peptide therapy has expanded significantly in human integrative and regenerative medicine, and some veterinarians are now exploring their potential applications in companion animals.
It is important to understand that BPC-157, TB-500 and KPV are investigational for veterinary use. Clinical evidence specifically in dogs and cats remains limited, and these compounds should not be considered FDA-approved treatments for the conditions discussed below.
What's in Peps for Paws?
Each mL contains:
BPC-157 500 mcg / TB-500 500 mcg / KPV 500 mcg per mL
These three investigational peptides were selected because of their complementary areas of research involving tissue recovery, gastrointestinal health and inflammatory signaling.
BPC-157
Tissue + Gastrointestinal Research
BPC-157 is an investigational peptide that has received significant research interest surrounding tissue repair and gastrointestinal health.
Preclinical research involving BPC-157 has explored biological processes associated with:
Gastrointestinal mucosal integrity
Tissue repair
Tendon and ligament recovery
Soft-tissue healing
Angiogenesis
Inflammatory signaling
Potential Veterinary Areas of Research Interest
Gastrointestinal Support
Gastric and intestinal mucosal support
Gastrointestinal irritation
Gastritis
Intestinal inflammation
Chronic enteropathy
Intestinal barrier integrity
Musculoskeletal Support
Tendon injuries
Ligament injuries
Muscle strains
Soft-tissue injuries
Orthopedic recovery
Post-surgical tissue recovery
For active, working and aging dogs in particular, musculoskeletal recovery is one area generating interest in regenerative veterinary medicine.
TB-500 / Thymosin Beta-4–Related Peptide
Soft Tissue + Recovery Research
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide related to thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide involved in several cellular processes.
Thymosin beta-4 and related peptides have been investigated for their potential roles involving:
Cell migration
Tissue remodeling
Angiogenesis
Wound repair
Muscle recovery
Tendon and connective-tissue healing
Potential Veterinary Areas of Research Interest
Tendon and ligament injuries
Muscle strains
Soft-tissue injuries
Wound healing
Orthopedic recovery
Post-procedure recovery
Connective-tissue support
This makes TB-500 particularly interesting from a research perspective for active dogs, working dogs, senior dogs and animals recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or procedures.
KPV
GI + Inflammatory Research
KPV is a small three-amino-acid peptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
Research involving KPV has focused heavily on its potential anti-inflammatory properties.
Areas being investigated include:
Gastrointestinal inflammation
Intestinal barrier function
Inflammatory signaling
Skin inflammation
Tissue inflammatory responses
Potential Veterinary Areas of Research Interest
Gastrointestinal Health
Intestinal inflammation
Chronic GI conditions
Chronic enteropathy
GI mucosal support
Intestinal barrier support
Skin + Inflammation
Dermatologic inflammation
Chronic skin irritation
Inflammatory skin conditions
Tissue inflammatory responses
Why Combine BPC-157 + TB-500 + KPV?
Rather than focusing on a single biological pathway, Peps for Paws combines three investigational peptides with complementary areas of research.
BPC-157
GI • Tissue • Tendon • Ligament
TB-500
Soft Tissue • Muscle • Recovery • Wound Healing
KPV
GI • Inflammation • Skin • Intestinal Barrier
Together, the formulation provides veterinarians interested in peptide therapy with a patient-specific compounded option encompassing several areas of regenerative and inflammatory research.
Potential Areas of Veterinary Interest
Musculoskeletal + Recovery
Potential areas of interest include:
Tendon and ligament injuries
Muscle strains
Soft-tissue injuries
Connective-tissue support
Orthopedic recovery
Post-surgical tissue recovery
Active and working dogs
Aging dogs experiencing increased recovery needs
Gastrointestinal + Intestinal Support
Potential areas of interest include:
Gastric and intestinal mucosal support
GI irritation and inflammation
Gastritis
Chronic enteropathy
Inflammatory bowel conditions
Intestinal barrier integrity
Skin + Wound Support
Potential areas of research include:
Wound-healing support
Skin and soft-tissue recovery
Post-procedure healing
Chronic skin irritation
Tissue repair following injury
Inflammatory Support
Peptide research has also examined pathways associated with:
GI inflammation
Skin inflammation
Tissue inflammation
Inflammatory signaling following injury

Easy for Owners to Administer
Anyone who has tried giving medication to a reluctant dog — or especially a cat — understands that dosage form matters.
A medication isn't particularly useful if the owner can't reliably administer it.
That's why Peps for Paws is prepared as a liquid rather than another capsule or tablet.
Each prescription is dispensed in a:
30 mL Amber Glass Boston Round Bottle
+ Oral Dosing Syringe
The veterinarian-prescribed amount can be administered:
Directly Into the Mouth
OR
With Food, As Directed by the Veterinarian
The included oral syringe makes measuring small, individualized volumes simple for pet owners.

Why Veterinary Compounding?
Veterinary medicine presents unique medication challenges.
A Chihuahua, Golden Retriever and Maine Coon obviously don't have identical medication requirements.
Commercially manufactured medications may not always provide the concentration, dosage form or administration method that a veterinarian determines is appropriate for an individual patient.
Veterinary compounding can allow a veterinarian to address patient-specific needs involving:
Concentration
Dosage form
Administration method
Flavoring
Dose volume
This can be particularly useful for dogs and cats that are difficult to pill or require individualized medication concentrations.
At Restore Pharmacy, our pharmacists work directly with veterinarians to evaluate patient-specific compounding needs.
