Natural Cushing’s Disease, Adrenal, and Addison’s Support for dogs
Our 20 Year Old Dog and Her Remarkable Life as a Survivor – Lady’s Story
NHV Behind The Scenes 2 min read*The other day I was thinking about all you wonderful pet parents and all the stories you share with us about your furry loved ones, about their struggles and their successes. I realized I too wanted to share the story of my Lady.
Lady is a rescued street dog from Sri Lanka. Lady is also my beloved baby, my best friend, and my clown when I need a laugh.
Unbeknownst to the rescue group, the foster home was an awful place.
Lady had been abandoned as a puppy in Sri Lanka and was found by a local rescue group, who placed her in a foster home. Unbeknownst to the rescue group, the foster home was an awful place. All these years later, it still pains me to think of her there; she was tied to a post, skinny, starving, and in desperate need of love. When we got her home, we quickly found out that she didn’t even know how to eat. We nursed her back to health and brought her back home to Canada when she was about two years old; Canada has been her home ever since.
The first time Lady saw snow she plowed through it like a freight train, a small brown mass with bits of ice and snow whirling around at top speed. For years, Lady’s archenemies were squirrels… She has a complicated sibling relationship with her cat-sister Solara. And in her younger days, car rides were the best thing about a dog’s life.
Lady is now 19 years old – soon to be 20! Over the years, she’s had some health complications. She’s been diagnosed with cancer, Cushing’s disease, arthritis, pancreatitis, and a host of other issues. She’s also undergone multiple surgeries. About 6 years ago, our vet advised us against any more surgeries, since at that point she was already an “old dog”. Everything soon revolved around doing what we could to make sure Lady was comfortable for as long as she is with us. On an average day, Lady is on 12 of our NHV supplements. I believe they’ve kept her going and we are so thankful for that.
Lady’s Supplements List
- Supraglan: Support for Cushing’s disease
- ES Clear: For cancer support
- Thyro-Up: For underactive thyroid support
- Mellit: For Pancreatitis support
- Stimmune: For allergies and immune support
- Milk Thistle: For liver support
- Multi-Essentials: For energy, digestion, nutrition
- Old Timer: To help with arthritis
- Plantaeris: (occasionally) For Diarrhea
- Yucca: For discomfort and appetite stimulant
- Tripsy: For urinary tract and kidney disorders
- Pet Omega 3: For cancer support, and overall health
I’m a pet parent too, and I know the stress and heartache of having a sick pet. We’re going to start posting regularly on Lady and how she’s doing in the hopes of helping other pet parents.
We love your pet naturally

About Diabetes Mellitus in Dogs
A dog suffering from diabetes either has a shortage of insulin in their body, or their cells are resistant to it. This keeps their organs from converting the glucose in their blood into energy, resulting in too much glucose in their blood.
Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas, and supporting the pancreas through all-natural supplements may help with symptoms of diabetes.
About Pancreatitis in Dogs
The pancreas is a small organ that produces digestive enzymes. In dogs, there is a chance the pancreas may become inflamed. The most common reason this happens to dogs is because they’ve eaten something they’re not supposed to, especially something high in fat.
An inflamed pancreas has a chance of leaking digestive enzymes. When that happens, the result is pancreatitis.

- Support for inflamed muscles and joints in dogs
- May help relieve discomfort
- May stimulate and improve appetite
- Helps with digestion
Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.

*I have been using some of your products for several years for my cats.
Cats being cats it is difficult to give them any kind of medications and I have found that using a syringe filled with baby food that is mixed with the appropriate amount of NHV product and then given to my cats is the best and easiest way for both of us. You might want to make this as a suggestion to some of your customers.
