Choosing CM Over Surgery Made Every Decision Exhausting — Now He's Jumping on the Bed Again, Getting the Zoomies, and I Finally Feel Like I'm Not Failing My Best Friend
Backed by more studies than any other CCL supplement
START MY DOG'S HEALING
Hey, I'm Sara, and yeah — I'm the vet that started Chew Barkies
Honestly, not because I wanted to ever own a business but because there was nothing out there that was built for what I was going through.
I was in vet school when Jordy tore her CCL. Vet said TPLO. I'm sitting there like, I can't afford that. I'm a student. It's thousands of dollars I don't have.
And I asked everyone. Professors, classmates, basically anyone who would listen. Every single one of them made it seem like surgery was the only path. Like if I didn't do it, I was giving up on my dog.
But they didn't get it. It wasn't that I didn't want the surgery. It literally was not an option for me.
So I went full DIY mode. Exercise pen, custom brace, joint supplement, red light therapy. I was trying everything.
None of it worked.
Months in, I still couldn't tell if Jordy was getting better. And hearing my best friend scream in pain when she tried to walk. That sound kind of stays with you.
Honestly, I Was Ready To Give Up…
And then, totally by accident, I found a small holistic care club on campus. I introduced myself to everyone, then one of the members pulled me aside, and told me his dog healed from a CCL tear through conservative management. He said it's totally possible — you just have to approach it completely differently.
And I'm like, okay wait… why is no one else saying this? TPLO isn't the only option?
And Just Like That… It All Finally Made Sense
My dog wasn't healing because of these root causes…
Blood Supply
The CCL has the worst blood supply in your dog's entire body. So once there's an injury, it's very difficult to heal.
Immune System
The immune system sees all that excess collagen as foreign invaders and attacks it, which causes inflammation and slows healing even more.
Enzymes
When the ligament is starved of blood, the enzymes that normally swap out old collagen for new collagen start removing it faster than the body can replace it.
The Cycle
Less blood = more enzyme damage = more immune attacks. And it just keeps going, making the ligament weaker and harder to heal every day.
🚨 But Here's The Truth…
When someone gets TPLO, none of this matters. TPLO literally removes the need for a CCL. It cuts the bone, fastens it with a metal plate, and the ligament's function is just replaced.
So TPLO dogs only need to recover from surgery. CM dogs need to recover AND heal the ligament in a body that's actively working against it. 😣
For the first time, I understood: nothing worked because nothing I tried was actually made for dog's on non-surgical CCL care.
So after speaking with him, I went full rabbit hole mode. Youtube, Reddit, Blogs. 2am deep dives. Obsessing. I just needed to know what actually worked for people like me.
Someone in a Conservative Recovery group mentioned Chondtroitin, I was like, what even is that? Another girl swore by Green Lipped Mussel. Someone else said CBD Oil changed everything.
I kept seeing the same five ingredients. Over and over. Different women. Different sources. Same stuff.
So I made a spreadsheet (yeah, I'm that person) and started connecting the dots. And turns out they were backed by real research. Not just hype.
Everyone Kept mentioning These 5… And Now I Know Why
These weren't trendy ingredients. They were backed by real science and for people just like me who were desperate for answers.
Piperine
Naturally boosts blood flow and absorption so nutrients can actually reach the starving ligament. 5x's recovery so your dog's progress is something you can actually see.
Glucosamine + Chondroitin
Most supplements only use one or the other. This duo rebuilds scar tissue and slows the enzymes destroying it so your dog can start bearing weight again.
Curcumin (95% Curcuminoids)
Calms the immune system's overreaction that's attacking the joint and causing inflammation so your dog's progress actually sticks instead of falling apart every few days.
Green Lipped Mussel
Contains a rare omega-3 that protects the joint before your dog even starts bearing weight so when they do start moving again, they keep going without a setback.
Hemp Seed Powder + Oil
A massive dose of omega fatty acids that cushion the joint so your dog's knee isn't grinding toward arthritis and the other knee stays protected.
It started to feel less like I was doing something wrong and more like nothing out there was built for this.
That's when it hit me, no one had actually put all this together. Everything out there felt generic, hit or miss, or totally clueless about how conservative CCL care actually works.
So I built it myself.
I partnered with a clinical formulation lab, spent months deep in research, obsessing over studies, tweaking dosages, and starting over more times than I can count. I didn't want hype. I wanted something I'd actually take, something that actually worked for conservative CCL care.
Chew Barkies wasn't whipped up in my kitchen. It was developed with real experts, third-party tested, made with pure, traceable ingredients and built on top of 1,000+ clinical studies.
Because if no one else was going to do it right, I would.
Here's Why 10,000+ Dog Parents Swear By Chew Barkies CCL Defense Chews
"Luna is back!"
The vet said my Golden Retriever, Luna needed TPLO or she'd suffer for the rest of her life. I couldn't afford it and I couldn't sleep. I found Chew Barkies kind of as a last resort and I'm not exaggerating by week three she was putting weight on the leg again. By month two she was stealing socks off the floor and running away with them. She hadn't done that in months. I actually cried
"Avoided $10,000 surgery completely!"
My corgi buddy was diagnosed with a full CCL rupture. Vet said TPLO was the only option at $6,000 and honestly we just didn't have it. I started her on Chew Barkies as kind of a last resort while we figured out financing. Three months later I brought her in for a follow up and the vet said her mobility had improved so much that surgery wasn't urgent anymore. She's walking on all fours, going up the porch steps on her own, and I haven't heard her cry getting up in weeks. I still can't believe a supplement did this.
"He's making progress!"
I spent I don't even know how many hours reading reddit threads about conservative management and every single one contradicted the last. My vet was no help because he just kept pushing surgery. I was honestly a mess. Started Duke on Chew Barkies and about 2 weeks in he stopped doing that little cry when he gets up in the morning. We're on month three now and he's bearing weight on both legs pretty evenly and I finally feel like i'm doing enough.

Why CM Dog Owners Have Been
SET UP TO FAIL…
For years, dog owners choosing conservative management were told TPLO was the only option. That anything else made them a bad owner.
Vets prescribed pain medication. Facebook groups pushed braces & supplements.
But none of it worked, because none of it addressed what was actually going on inside.
🚨 A CCL Tear Isn't Just Another Injury - It's a Ligament Chokehold
The truth is, once torn, the CCL is stuck in a chokehold
- ✓A dying blood supply - that slows healing by 62%
- ✓Cannibalistic enzymes - that tear apart collagen
- ✓Faulty Immune system - which triggers inflammation
No joint supplement or knee brace can fix that.
But For Years, No One Built a Solution For Us.
Most "joint supplements" are just glucosamine in a chicken-flavored chew. Knee braces don't even heal. And therapy based treatments? They cost a FORTUNE.
We were called bad owners for not being able to do surgery and judged even harder for trying another way.
