Rapamycin for Dogs — Canine Longevity Therapy
Rapamycin tablets and capsules for dogs, 0.4 to 8.0 mg. Once weekly with food, weight-based dosing, veterinarian-prescribed.
More healthy years by your side
Rapamycin is the most studied longevity compound in veterinary medicine — extending healthy lifespan by up to 14% in mammalian studies and now the subject of the NIH-funded Dog Aging Project’s TRIAD trial.
What rapamycin therapy actually costs
Shown in your local list price. You are charged this amount at checkout.
Prescription medicine. Your order begins with a licensed veterinarian’s review — nothing is dispensed without it.
What it does
- Heart — supports cardiac function; studies in older dogs showed improved heart performance within months.
- Cancer — mTOR inhibition is being studied against the cancers that take dogs most often: lymphoma, mast cell tumors, hemangiosarcoma.
- Inflammation — reduces the chronic, low-grade inflammation that drives age-related pain and stiffness.
- Immunity — at low doses, rapamycin improves immune response rather than suppressing it.
How the therapy works
One tablet or capsule once a week, with food — the once-weekly schedule used in the current TRIAD longevity protocol. Dosing is based on your dog’s body weight — our veterinarians will confirm the right strength and schedule during the included review. Best suited to healthy, middle-aged and senior dogs.
Veterinary oversight, included
This is a veterinarian-directed therapy program. Every Rapavie order includes a licensed veterinarian’s review, personalized dosing, and monitoring guidance. Medication is dispensed under veterinary prescription. Side effects at longevity doses are uncommon and typically limited to transient stomach upset. Lab-tested to a 99.9% purity standard.

What dog owners say
Individual results vary. These are members’ own experiences, not medical claims or expected outcomes.
Our senior lab has more energy on walks and his bloodwork has never looked better. Wish we had started sooner.
Our 15-year-old poodle is stealing socks again. I only wish someone had told us this existed two years ago.
We started our giant breed early on the vet’s advice. At eight he still moves like a young dog. They adjusted his dose twice as he grew.
Murphy could not make it around the block last spring. Months in, he ran on the beach at fourteen. The consultation was genuinely thorough.
Our vet had never prescribed this and was sceptical. Rapavie sent her the dosing rationale and the monitoring schedule, and she now tracks Hela’s bloodwork with them.
Once a week with food, and that is the whole routine. For a 42 kg dog the weight-based dosing mattered — I would not have guessed the amount myself.
