Neuroplex® for Dogs by Standard Process: Nervous System Support, Uses & Care

As a holistic veterinarian, my goal is simple: help dogs feel better by supporting how their bodies are designed to work. I lean on real food nutrition and whole food supplements every day, both for my patients and my own dogs.

Neuroplex® by Standard Process is one of those tools. It is a whole food supplement designed to support the nervous and endocrine systems. I use it when a dog needs extra nutritional support for brain health, nerve function, stress response, or age related changes.

Let’s walk through what it does, how it works, and when I find it most helpful.

What Is Neuroplex® for Dogs?

Neuroplex® is a whole food nutritional supplement made by Standard Process. It has been used in both people and pets since 1986.

This formula focuses on the nervous system and the endocrine system. The endocrine system is the network of glands that helps regulate hormones, metabolism, stress response, and overall balance in the body.

Neuroplex does not act like a drug. It provides targeted nutrients and tissues that help nourish and support these systems so the body can function more smoothly.

Key Benefits of Neuroplex® for Dogs

Supports Nervous System Health

The nervous system controls movement, coordination, sensation, and communication between the brain and body. Neuroplex contains whole food ingredients and complementary tissues that support healthy nerve signaling and brain function.

Supports Cognitive Function

Neuroplex is rich in B vitamins like vitamin B6, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin. These nutrients are essential for brain health and neurotransmitter production. This is especially helpful for senior dogs or dogs showing signs of cognitive decline.

Supports Immune Balance

Ingredients such as bovine and ovine spleen provide proteins and nucleotides that support immune health. A balanced immune system is important not only for fighting infections, but also for supporting dogs with autoimmune tendencies.

Supports Metabolism and Energy

B vitamins and trace minerals help the body convert food into usable energy. Dogs with nervous system stress often burn through nutrients faster. Supporting metabolism helps improve stamina and overall vitality.

Ingredient Breakdown: Why These Foods Matter

Neuroplex uses whole food ingredients and glandular tissues that work together. Each one plays a role.

Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides)
This medicinal plant contains naturally occurring minerals. Research shows it has anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties and supports cellular health.

Porcine brain PMG™ extract
PMG stands for Protomorphogen. These extracts provide targeted nutritional support to specific tissues. Porcine brain PMG helps nourish nerve cells and supports healthy nerve signaling. Healthy cell membranes help reduce abnormal nerve firing, which is important for dogs with seizure like activity.

Bovine hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
These tissues support the brain centers involved in hormone regulation, stress response, and metabolic balance. This is especially helpful for dogs dealing with chronic stress or neurologic strain.

Bovine and ovine spleen
The spleen plays a role in immune regulation. These ingredients provide proteins and nucleotides that support immune resilience and nervous system repair.

Bovine liver
Liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods available. It provides natural vitamin A, B vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes that support detoxification and overall cellular health.

When I Use Neuroplex® in Dogs

Neuroplex can be helpful in a variety of situations where the nervous system needs extra nutritional support.

Neurological Conditions

I often consider Neuroplex as part of a broader support plan for dogs with:

• Seizure disorders or seizure like activity

• Epilepsy

• Nerve damage

• Spinal cord inflammation such as IVDD

• Degenerative myelopathy

It does not replace medical management when needed, but it can provide valuable nutritional support.

Anxiety and Behavioral Concerns

Dogs with nervous system imbalance may show anxiety, stress, pacing, excessive barking, or repetitive behaviors like constant licking. Supporting nerve health and stress response can help calm the system over time.

Senior Dogs and Cognitive Decline

As dogs age, cognitive changes are common. Neuroplex helps support memory, learning, and overall brain health in senior dogs and dogs showing signs of canine cognitive dysfunction.

Dosage Guidelines for Neuroplex® for Dogs

The dose is based on body weight. These are the typical maintenance amounts I use in practice.

For larger dogs or dogs with sensitive stomachs, I recommend starting at half the dose for the first week. This helps prevent digestive upset while the body adjusts.

If your dog has a complex health history, dosing can be adjusted. You are always welcome to reach out through our contact form for individualized guidance.

How to Give Neuroplex®

Neuroplex capsules can be given whole or opened and mixed into food. Most dogs tolerate the powder well since it is food based.

If your dog is picky:

• Mix it into a small amount of food first

• Hide the capsule in a treat or a bit of cheese

Consistency matters. Most dogs I work with show noticeable improvement within about four weeks of daily use.

Possible Side Effects and Safety Notes

Neuroplex is generally well tolerated. Because it is nutrient dense, mild digestive upset can occur when starting.

Possible reactions may include:

• Soft stools

• Diarrhea

• Vomiting

These effects are usually temporary. Starting with a lower dose often prevents issues.

If you notice ongoing reactions, stop the supplement and let us know so we can adjust the plan.

Store the product in a cool, dry place and keep it out of reach of children. This product contains iron.

Final Thoughts

Neuroplex® by Standard Process is a powerful whole food supplement for dogs that need nervous system and endocrine support. When used consistently and thoughtfully, it can play a meaningful role in helping dogs feel calmer, sharper, and more balanced.

If you are unsure whether Neuroplex is right for your dog, I am always happy to help guide you.
