I've never tryed it but the same principles would apply with humans i expect make sure you give then plenty of running to burn off the excess and give them plenty of water as sometimes (in humans) it can cause kidney stones. Should work though

[pluckers son 0]

is this the stuff that body builders use ????? wots it for

 

 

 

what other supplements do you guys give your running dogs

[staffy-1 0]

Might start using it on my staff, iv got some here at home. I tell you what it's not good trying to use it on me a sicteen year old lad! It sent me crackers...............

[Guest smoothrun]

So its the exact same as the human stuff? Whats the price of the stuff and how do and how often do you give it to a dog?

Has anyone got a pic of their dog who has creatine?

just found this on google. there is loads of info on creatine if you look it up

 

 

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT CREATINE? If you’ve never taken creatine, or given it to your dog, no description is possible. Simply put--you have to use creatine to believe it. FOR FILA DOGS: Loading (7 days) 1/2 teaspoon twice per day Maintance 1/4 teaspoon twice per day. Creatine supplementation has been shown to significantly increase strength and speed performance, and may even help develop aerobic enzymes.

 

Creatine helps reduce lactic acid build up, delay fatigue, maintain peak power output longer and enable more sets and more reps. Our research shows creatine appears to be even more effective on dogs. In fact, the first major creatine study used dogs as test subjects. Creatine is natural for dogs.

 

Wild dogs have adapted to eat large amounts of meat, which contains creatine and the building blocks of creatine. Studies suggest creatine is found in much higher amounts in wild game than supermarket meats. In processing dog food, virtually all creatine is removed. Therefore, adding creatine to the canine diet is actually “replacement therapy†putting back in what commercial processing take out.

I am no bodybuilder, but I have taken creatine on and off for the last 6/ 7 years. The reason I take it is that I still play competative football at the age of 44

Creatine certainly works fo me, after the initial loading up stage (1 week) where you take up to 5 times the

dosage, I start to get leaner and the muscle comes on. BUT only if I train hard i.e run 5/7 miles a day and push the weights.

I would not reccomend this stuff to people or dogs who sit around most of the time.

Another point is, a certain proportion of creatine takers are known as "non responders" which means that they get no benefits of extra skeletal muscle and vigour. .

It does make you thirsty though

[i once put a bull x on creatin and he muscled up so much he won nearly every show he went in but lost his speed so ive stopped using it but now i give my dogs some pure b12 vitamin prior to work as it does the same but without the dog getting like frank bruno

[THE POACHER 13]

so if you was to start giving it to a dog what sort of ammouts are we talking

[Guest big brad]

[if u mean creatin i used to sprinkle a teaspoonful over dogs food once a day at 6months onwards u can get liquid b12 of a company called aviform its meant for racing pigeons but does the job i put a capfull on food for 2 feeds [bANNED TEXT] work some naughty greyhound men inject it but i wudnt reccomend that

[david2363 42]

I WOULD BE VERY CAREFULL ABOUT DOSAGE - CHECK THIS LINK OUT, IF THESE AMOUNTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR AN AVERAGE MALE HUMAN OF SAY 12 STONE (168 POUNDS) IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO

DIVIDE THAT INTO THE DOGS WEIGHT.

ALSO, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THIS STUFF IS TO BE TAKEN INDEFINETELY , FOR BEST RESULTS IT IS BEST TO CEASE CREATINE INTAKE ON A CYCLE BASIS FROM TIME TO TIME.

A dogs body is more than capable of making all the creatine it needs without adding any extra if given a sensible diet. If a dog has a good balenced diet it will develop the right body mass for the work it does and extra muscle is just extra weight to run with. In human terms a 100m runner has big muscle but no stamina, not good for twenty runs a night, but a long distance runner is light weight and plenty of stamina. A dog such as a working lurcher needs speed indurance like a 400 - 800m runner and they are not as slim as a 10k runner but definatly light weight.
