Standard Process Inc. Canine Adrenal Support 100 grams

I believe that the Whole Body Support saved my dogs life. He was declining monthly. He has now returned to his previous weight, and his energy has returned. I also give him Standard Process Adrenal Support and Probiotics.

My 9 year old lab had 2 episodes, where we rushed her to the vet. She was diagnosed with Addison's disease, and the vet wanted to put her on steroids. I wanted to try a natural alternative first, and found this product. So far, it seems to be working really well. she hasn't had any more episodes, and seems calmer. We are on our 3rd bottle. One bottle lasts about a month.

I realized our vet is closed for Spring Break and am glad we could find this product online. I paid the extra fee for overnight delivery and literally received the box on my doorstep in less than 12 hours! My dog is taking adrenal support as part of his brain cancer treatment. I believe it is helping as a great support tool to aid the breakdown his body is experiencing from long term steroid use. It appears that the product is exactly as expected. I'm very happy with my purchase and the fast reaction time!

Our dog was diagnosed with Addisons many years ago. Since then he has been on prednisone which was neccessary b/c w/o it he started to get sick. However, it's a steroid and would make his behavior somewhat erratic. He would get restless at times, nervous, very hungry and typically was VERY thirsty (dry mouth). Consequently, he would drink an enormous amount of water which led to lots of walks and going out. Often in the middle of the night. The dry mouth was uncomfortable for him and kept us awake at night. Doing my own research I came across this product and ran it by our Vet. This is most likely what Vets prescribed before prednisone was available. Our Vet was not familiar with it but said to give it a shot. We were really desperate to get our little fella off prednisone if possible. It's only been about 3-4 weeks but so far so good. He is about 35 lbs and gets a scoop of this in his food 1x/day (we mix it with a little NuPro powder which is another great dog product!). You have to play with the dosage a bit but if your dog has addisons you're already used to that game. All the unpleasant side effects of the prednisone have gone away! The dog seems to sleep more but that may be his natural state... we don't know b/c he was on steroids for so long. I am posting this review in case there's anyone else in a similar situation with their dog. This stuff is expensive but it lasts a long time and if you can get your dog off steroids, it's worth it! Good luck! I'll post updates if anything changes in the next few months.*UPDATE - March 26, 2013. We found that the recommended serving of this powder wasn't enough. We now give our 35 lb dog a full scoop in the AM and a 1/2 scoop in the PM. Sometimes he may not get it all since it's a powder in his food (and he's not really fond of the taste). After a couple weeks he starts to slip again so he we have been giving him a prednisone 1x every 2 weeks. This is not ideal but in my opinion, still really beats 2x's/week. Overall, I'm still pleased that we found this product and our dog takes much less prednisone. It's not perfect but it's still a worth product for our family dog.

Although this is a very expensive supplement, I do believe that it works. About two weeks. After giving this supplement, that was prescribed by my vet, my dog really perked up. I assume that her issues were being addressed by the supplement. It is easy to use my dog loves the flavor..
