Natural Cushing’s Disease, Adrenal, and Addison’s Support for dogs
The health and wellness of your fur-kiddos is always a top priority. At NHV, we completely agree, and we are dedicated to supporting your little ones. Understanding common health issues is an important step in ensuring your little ones stay healthy and happy, and that’s why it’s essential to recognize the signs of adrenal gland disorders, such as Addison’s disease and Cushing’s disease in pets. These two diseases mainly affect our canine companions, but they may also affect cats, although not as commonly.
The adrenal glands are located in front of the kidneys
The adrenal glands are located in front of the kidneys, and they produce hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. These hormones are important as they play a role in balancing electrolytes and stress. When the adrenal glands don’t produce and regulate hormones as they normally should, it can cause serious health implications for your fur-baby.
Cushing’s disease, also known as hyperadrenocorticism, is caused by an overproduction of cortisol. There can be a couple of causes to this. The first and most common cause is a tumor in the pituitary gland. Cushing’s is more common in older dogs, and certain breeds may be predisposed. Some other causes may include a tumor in the adrenal gland itself or the overuse of certain pharmaceuticals such as steroids.
Addison’s disease, also known as hypoadrenocorticism, is caused by an underproduction of adrenal gland hormones, most commonly cortisol and aldosterone. It’s also more common in older dogs and seen more frequently in certain breeds. This can lead to a potentially dangerous situation, often referred to as an “Addisonian crisis.” Some symptoms to watch for may include:
Managing Cushing’s or Addison’s may feel overwhelming, but there are ways to manage your pet’s symptoms, which may help to make a difference in their wellness.
It’s important to manage stress for pets dealing with Cushing’s and Addison’s disease to avoid exacerbation of their symptoms. Try to maintain a consistent routine and provide a calm, quiet resting area where your pet can relax. It’s also advisable to minimize exposure to major life changes to help reduce stress in pets.
Diagnosing Cushing’s and Addison’s disease may involve a physical examination, blood tests, urine tests, and sometimes X-rays and ultrasounds. Laboratory testing can reveal abnormalities that are critical to making a diagnosis.
Treatment for these diseases can involve prescription medications, such as steroids, IV fluids, symptom monitoring, and less commonly, surgery. While there is not a cure for Addison’s and Cushing’s, your fur-baby’s quality of life can be managed with treatments, and many go on to live normal lives.
NHV supplements may help support adrenal gland hormone regulation
In addition to medical treatments, natural remedies can also be extremely beneficial in supporting symptoms of Addison’s and Cushing’s disease. NHV supplements may help support adrenal gland hormone regulation and the accompanying symptoms.
NHV’s Adrenal Super Support and Nutritional Balance Kit contains three beneficial supplements that can support your fur-kiddo as they deal with an adrenal gland disorder.
You may also consider adding a calming supplement like Lesstress to help with symptoms of stress and anxiety, which is important for managing Addison’s or Cushing’s disease in pets. Lesstress uses herbs with stress reducing properties like, Lemon Balm, and can also support healthy immunity.
Cushing’s and Addison’s disease can be challenging; however, with proper treatment, symptom monitoring, holistic support, and lifestyle changes, pets can live fulfilling lives. Should your fur-kiddo exhibit signs and symptoms of Cushing’s or Addison’s disease, we recommend consulting your veterinarian.
NHV supplements can benefit your pet by providing additional support to help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. With the right combination of veterinary care and holistic treatments, your pet can feel their best and continue to thrive.

In cats and dogs, adrenal gland problems may be tricky to detect early on and, if left untreated, may develop into more severe health problems later on. The adrenal glands may be small, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the body's hormonal balance. In a healthy body, the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) can detect dwindling cortisol levels. As a response, the pituitary gland secretes ACTH, a substance that stimulates the adrenal gland to release more cortisol. When the pituitary gland detects that cortisol levels are normal, it stops sending messages.
You can think of the pituitary gland as a smart device for cortisol levels. ACTH secretion occurs throughout the day and regulates the ebb and flow of cortisol levels. The adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, and hypothalamus glands work together to support proper digestion and immune function, and most importantly, they regulate the body's response to stress. As any pet parent knows, dogs and cats can be drama kings and queens when it comes to any changes to their routine or diet. Stress may also be caused by something psychological, like staying at a kennel. When your dog is stressed, their adrenal glands produce hormones that trigger a fight or flight response. This primitive reaction can be a lifesaver in many dangerous situations. Yet, problems may arise when your dog's adrenal system malfunctions due to releasing too much or too little adrenal hormones.
Typical symptoms of an adrenal gland disorder are depression, vomiting, hair loss, and weight fluctuations. To help support your pet, we would recommend a holistic aid that will help to restore the immune system and gently stimulate the endocrine system to normalize hormone production. Supraglan is a blend of natural ingredients specially formulated to add immune support and help to restore normal hormone levels. Ingredients like astragalus and licorice help improve energy levels and water levels, borage helps to promote hair growth, and wild yam helps to stimulate adrenal gland function and calm excitability. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver and kidney function. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and has been used for centuries to protect the liver from harmful toxins and encourage regeneration.
At NHV, we know that your pets are your family so we have made it our mission to provide the best natural supplements possible! With only the best organic and wildcrafted ingredients, our master herbalist and holistic vet have created all of our formulations specifically for pets!

Addison’s disease affects many areas of the body and can be mistaken for normal signs of aging. If your furkiddo isn’t keeping their meals down, is feeling lethargic and is losing weight, they may be suffering from Addison’s disease. Our adrenal supplement kits are specifically formulated to fight the symptoms of Addison's disease in dogs and cats and support all areas affected by underactive adrenal glands.

Our adrenal supplement kits are specifically formulated to fight the symptoms of Addison's disease in dogs and cats and support all areas affected by underactive adrenal glands.
Addison’s Disease or hypoadrenocorticism occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. The adrenal glands are located just in front of the kidneys and have two parts – the cortex and the medulla. Your little one’s adrenal cortex produces mineralocorticoids (e.g. Aldosterone), which helps to control the balance of sodium and potassium salts, and glucocorticoids, which are involved in metabolizing nutrients, reducing inflammation and releasing hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The adrenal medulla plays a vital role in managing the body’s response to stress and low blood sugar levels. It releases epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and slowing down digestion.
Addison’s Disease (underactive adrenal glands) occurs more frequently in young to middle-aged pups and in some purebred kitties. Dog breeds that may be more likely to develop Addison’s disease are: Standard Poodles, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and West Highland White Terriers. Although the cause is unknown, in many cases, it develops as an autoimmune disease. Other causes include destruction of the adrenal gland by a tumor, hemorrhage or infarction. It can also be caused by vet-prescribed medications for treating overactive adrenal glands (Cushing's disease).
Symptoms include regular vomiting, decreased appetite, weight loss, and sometimes dark diarrhea. Lethargy, depression, and muscle weakness are also common signs. Sometimes fur loss, and increased urination are present as well. For canines and felines Addison’s Disease in , we'd suggest adding NHV’s Addison’s Disease Essential Support Kit to their daily meal plan. This bundle of natural remedies contains Supraglan, and Milk thistle which have been formulated to work together to re-balance the adrenal glands, reduce inflammation, and encourage gentle detoxification and tissue regeneration.

Suplaglan is a blend of natural ingredients specially formulated to support dogs and cats with Addison's Disease. Wild Yam and Licorice stimulate adrenal gland function, while Borage contains natural precursors of adrenal gland hormones to help trigger the endocrine system. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver, kidney and immune response. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and is especially helpful for pets with a compromised immune system or exposure to harmful chemicals.
