My many years of biology classes must have all been based in fallacy then and I guess I should forget all the work I did with nutritionists to get my health back on track.

Muscle building supplements are available for humans and dogs
Yea, called protein ...

but the best way of building high quality muscle tone is in doing intensive exercise including hill running and in exercising in gyms with specific routines and methods and in using resistance equipment and other natural methods with use of the limbs. Dogs would need to use equivalent methods to what humans use though both can utilise treadmills and dogs are able to pull special strength and muscle building weights.
That's muscle, and conditioning and training ... and yes that is done with dogs.

An extra build up of fat for humans and dogs is an excellent source of bone, cartilage, muscle and blood cells ie excellent source of stem cells which can be prompted to develop into bone or muscle.
To quote the caveman in one of the GEICO commercials, MDH says: "WHAT?????" So all the actor Michael J. Fox needs to do is get fat and he can produce more stem cells to use in treating his Parkinson's disease then????
