Dr. Mercola Canine Hormone Support Dog Supplement, 3.17-oz jar

My elder dog was diagnosed with Cushings, presenting with intense, championship panting. I mean this panting kept me awake at night while wearing earplugs! He also exhibited excessive drinking, and some incontinence (although that may have been circumstantial more than disease related.) Our vet recommended a drug that was going to cost $70/mo and was associated with chemotherapy and was reported to have harsh side effects. After doing some research, I stumbled on this product and after reading positive reviews, decided to try it. I'm buying my third round now. After about 1.5 months, the panting was nearly completely gone (other than what's normal.) His peeing is on track and his drinking My elder dog was diagnosed with Cushings, presenting with intense, championship panting. I mean this panting kept me awake at night while wearing earplugs!

I will likely use this product until he dies, for my sleep's sake alone. … more

I recently purchased this after reading that my dog’s hair loss may be related to a hormone imbalance. We’ve tried all the other remedies, and she’s still as bald as ever on her neck and chest. Unfortunately I can’t say if it’s working yet, but I will say she does eat it, and with her, that’s half the battle. I was surprised to see it’s such a fine powder, she only eats dry food, so we really have to mix it in well to get it to coat the pieces. I’d also recommend washing the bowl after since it creates a slobbery sludge at the bottom that later hardens into cement!

Our 13 year old Shih Tzu has Cushings... We opted to try natural remedies first and this product is amazing!!! We decided to start out with 1/2 the dose and don’t feel he needs more at this time! He’s happy and energetic again! No more panting and he’s sleeping all night... Still hungry but not drinking as much and not saturating tinkle pads nearly as much! We are using melatonin also but only 1/2 the dose recommended and having great success...

Our dog was drinking lots of water, having accidents, losing hair, enlarged liver. Tests show adrenal mass and suggested atypical Cushing’s. Prescribed treatment has been HMR lignans and melatonin. This product contains both, plus DIM (found in certain vegetables, I’d suggest a search to learn how it works on hormone levels). All 3 ingredients work to try to normalize her adrenal hormones and has been effective in lessening her symptoms. Now I can give one powder instead of 3 different pills. Consider seeing a vet to be sure hormone imbalance is actually the cause of your dog’s symptoms, and if so, this may help.

Okay, so I've discovered that there's no quick fix for the effects of cushings for dogs. At least not a non pharmaceutical solution anyway. My Boston Terrier began showing signs of cushings about 3 months ago. He was drinking a ton of water and losing hair on his sides near his rear. We had him tested by the vet and his results came back that he's positive for cushings. I read all I could get my hands on about the disease and possible natural solutions. I read good reviews about some adrenal drops but those did nothing. What has begun to work is this product right here.

After giving Canine Hormone Support to my dog twice daily for two months now, I'm seeing substantial regrowth of his hair. He's still drinking more water than he used to, but he's headed in the right direction. From what I've read about lignans is that it begins to show improvement after two months of use, but the articles mostly say that results will most likely be seen after four months of use. My pooch has also returned to a more playful state that had seemed to diminish with the onset of the disease. I'll post an update after two additional months of use which will mark the four month point that he should begin to show major improvement. As of this time, I've opted to not put my dog on the pharmaceuticals for the disease as I've read that the side effects can be pretty harsh. If in the next two months I don't begin to see further improvements in his condition, I will reconsider that option and perhaps use both. Good luck to all of you and your furry friend that are struggling with this horrible disease. If you're looking for something gentle and natural to try, I'd recommend starting with this stuff. … more

I started giving this to our 1 1/2 year old dog Cooper when I realized he was gaining weight and losing hair on his back in two spots. He was neutered at a very young age at the SPCA. Dr. Becker has a great video on Dr. Mercola's site that explains the whole hormonal I'm balance issue perfectly! I took her advice and went grain and potato free with his food ( Zignature and Earthborn carry this) and gave him this supplement every day. 6 months in now, his fur has grown back and he seems healthy and happy! We are still working on his weight- walking twice a day and thinking about keeping him on a lower fat food....but I HIGHLY recommend this product! It works!

My 12-year old Maltese has suspected Cushings disease. Last winter he was a mess; panting, drinking excessively, ravenous appetite, horrible skin issues, losing hair and anxious. His cortisol and liver enzyme levels were elevated and he had the bloated belly. I honestly did not think he would still be with us today but he is. I did massives of research on Cushings as there is no real cure but all regular vets can offer are expensive drugs with dubious side effects. This product has the ingredients holistic vets recommend and have been proven to help. First off I switched my dog to a completely organic raw meat diet (no beef or chicken either and only grass fed), supplemented with coconut oil My 12-year old Maltese has suspected Cushings disease.

This product has the ingredients holistic vets recommend and have been proven to help. First off I switched my dog to a completely organic raw meat diet (no beef or chicken either and only grass fed), supplemented with coconut oil and the odd bit of fish. I started adding this to his food in the morning and giving him one K9 Choice melatonin at night to settle him. I then added in Adrenal Gold by PetWellbeing and then saw more rapid results. I think this product takes a while to work - I would definitely give it at least a month and if your dog has the same issues as mine it does not hurt to add in the products I did. The Adrenal Gold seemed to work very fast but I think it was the combination of everything I did that has this dog drinking and eating normally and all his fur has grown back and is thick, no more skin problems. Right now he is only on the hormonal support and a melatonin at night and seems fine. I have had no problems with him eating this sprinkled on his breakfast. … more

It has taken a long time-over 5 months-but I am seeing gradual positive results from consistently using this product on my five year old female rotti who was spayed before she was 4 months old. She is still in a diaper but rather than going thru 3 or 4 pad changes in a day we are down to 1 or 2 on a consistent basis. The improvement has been gradual and with ups and downs depending on a variety of factors such as high fatigue and the type of food she receives. However overall there is a clear improvement.

I honestly had just received this product a couple weeks ago and haven't really had a chance to use it I was only able to put it on my pets food twice. With that being said I'm not sure of the quality and how well it works. My first priority concern is getting it in her too to be absorbed. It's such a large cap full of powder it's hard to give it to her in her food she doesn't seem interested in eating it. So if it's put in a capsule that I could put a tree around it or somehow different or flavored with me perhaps or something and maybe a better product... Food for thought

My friends dog is undergoing cancer treatments in Australia. Her vet approved giving this hormone support to her dog but I could not successfully mail the product to Australia due to the country regulation. Should have checked regulations before buying so now I'm the proud owner of two containers of the product and don't have a use for it. Will check to see if I can return it.
