Canine Adrenal Support By Standard Process | Stress & Anxiety Support For Dogs

By Dr. Candy Akers

We now know that when us or our pets experience stress, there is a physical change. Stress hormones are released and your dog's body goes "into survival mode". But when this imbalance continues for a long time and does not correct its self- our dogs need help.

Luckily there is something effective, easy, and completely natural. Putting this whole food based supplement on your dog's food can help them heal.

I've been using this supplement in my patients for over 7 years. I know the situations where it can help, and I know the situations where it may not help. I've written this review below based on my personal and professional experience.

If you have a dog that is showing signs of increased anxiety add this to their food now to start balancing their health.

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

Dr. Candy's Pro-Tip:I have seen fantastic results in cases where puppies or kittens were rescued, weaned early, separated from their mother, spayed and neutered at a young age, given multiple vaccines, and medications, transported to new locations, and placed into a new home. Situations like these happen all the time and result in stress that is physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. After this stressful event, I recommend all pets displaying general anxiety begin this supplement as soon as signs are noticed. The faster the response the better, as this can balance hormones and divert pathways to health problems, fear and aggression.

More About Canine Adrenal System Support

The adrenal glands help the body adapt to stress through the release of corticosteroids and hormones. With chronic stress, the adrenals can become fatigued, affecting many body systems, including the pituitary and thyroid glands, autonomic nervous system, liver, duodenum, and kidneys.

Canine Adrenal System Support is formulated to:

  • Help the adrenal glands respond normally to stress and metabolic demands
  • Support the glands' ability to rebuild and regenerate
  • Provide vital nutritional support to related organs*

Indications for Use: 

  • Sudden stressful event or ongoing stress (internal or external)
  • Signs of fatigue, reduced stamina, glucose intolerance, inflammatory response, and inadequate immune system functioning
  • Clinical signs associated with adrenal stress

How to Administer

Dose Schedule: Based on body weight, the canine patient should receive the canine formula powder according to the following recommendations, or as otherwise directed.

Special Information:

A 1/8 tsp scoop is included with the small canine powder bottles, and a 1/2 tsp scoop is included with the large canine powder bottles.

Since these supplements are made from super foods, they are very "rich". This allows us to use small doses, but sometimes when adding a brand new savory food pets can experience a soft stool for 12-24 hours. This situation balances itself but I have found that using a gradual taper greatly reduces the chance of loose stool.

Caution: This product is processed in a facility that manufactures other products containing soy, milk, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Please consult the actual product label for the most accurate product information.

Ingredients: Each Serving Size (1/2 or 1/8 tsp.) contains: Bovine liver, bovine adrenal PMG™ extract, black currant juice, organic alfalfa (aerial parts) juice powder, porcine duodenum, defatted wheat germ, eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), nutritional yeast, organic carrot, wheat germ oil, organic shiitake mushroom powder, organic reishi mushroom powder, veal bone PMG™ extract, bovine adrenal Cytosol™ extract, organic pea vine juice powder, rice bran, bovine adrenal, bovine kidney, organic buckwheat (aerial parts) juice powder, organic buckwheat flour, sea salt, oat flour, bovine orchic extract, bovine pituitary PMG™ extract, sunflower lecithin, fat soluble extract from alfalfa (leaf) and sunflower seed, kelp, and manganese glycerophosphate.

Our Border Collie mix had slowed down and we figured it was because she was getting older. Then we heard about Canine Adrenal Support and started adding it to her food. I didn't have high expectations but the results were amazing. Within a couple of weeks she had more energy, she started playing more with our younger dog, and she just seemed to be feeling better in general. I highly recommend this product.

My 11 year old dachshund was diagnosed with borderine Cushings. After spending tons of money the tests were inconclusive and vet wanted to run all the tests in 3⃣ months again. I researched this product and felt it could not hurt so first visit at a new vet we tested for Cushing it was a solid negative!!!!!! This stuff is amazing

This has literally been a life saver for my dog. Within 3 days of giving to him, he completely changed. He went from being so lethargic I thought he was going to die to bouncing around playing. It's been wonderful.

So far so good. My dog was diagnosed with atypical addison's disease and since giving her this supplement, her enzyme numbers have come down and her dosage of prednisone has been reduced. Will continue to use this supplement and hopefully have her off prednisone completely soon.

My dog has Cushing Disease, and the vet put her on this supplement and her numbers for her Cushing disease went down tremendously. You have to give it to your animal according to its weight. Great product!!!!

Questions & Answers

What are the side effects of Canine Adrenal Support?

Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.

How much Canine Adrenal Support should my dog take?
  • 1-10 lbs 1/8 teaspoon once per day
