Natural Cushing’s Disease, Adrenal, and Addison’s Support for dogs
Yam is widely known as a superfood for us humans, but who would have thought of using Wild Yam for dogs and cats too? The truth is, if used correctly, this ingredient can be very beneficial for our four-legged friends.
Wild Yam has a long and illustrious history, dating back centuries to its first recognition for its medicinal properties. The benefits of this root are still acknowledged in traditional medicine in countries in Central America, North America, China, and Japan.
Also known by its scientific name Dioscorea vilosa, this powerful vegetable has been used to treat a variety of ailments in humans, especially for the preparation of steroid hormones. But its wide range of health benefits also makes it an ideal herb for animals.
Wild Yam is a root vegetable that is becoming increasingly popular as a supplement for animals. However, pet parents should keep in mind that there are various types of yams, and not all are beneficial for pets. Especially if given in the wrong dosage.
Dioscorea vilosa is often recommended by veterinarians for aging dogs with urinary incontinence. However, it is important to have your pet evaluated by a specialist to determine the cause of the issue, as Wild Yam may not be an appropriate option for all cases.
Wild Yam is an anti-inflammatory herb that contains steroidal saponins used in the pharmaceutical industry in the preparation of steroid hormones. This means that this root can also help normalize hormone production.
Wild Yam for dogs and cats can help address inflammation, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and urinary tract infections.
This natural ingredient also has antispasmodic properties, that is, it can help relieve any kind of muscular spasms and gastrointestinal cramps, as well as for poor circulation and neuralgia. Wild Yam for dogs and cats can also be beneficial for nervousness and restlessness.
Wild Yam is also known to help support overall liver health, and the root is believed to lower blood cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure, which indirectly helps the liver by increasing its efficiency and reducing stress. These are only a few of the medicinal benefits known and recognized by the holistic community.
Wild Yam is generally considered safe for pets when given in proper amounts and at the right times. However, as with any supplement or herbal remedy, it is important to use caution. To stay on the safe side, look for supplements for pets and talk to your trusted veterinary before considering the use of Wild Yam in your little one’s regimen.
We use Wild Yam in our formula designed to support adrenal health in pets, NHV Supraglan. This herbal blend was vet-formulated to help improve adrenal gland function, regulate metabolism, and promote good digestion in pets with adrenal disorders like Cushing’s and Addison’s disease.
The Wild Yam works alongside other herbs that form the Supraglan blend to help restore the hormone balance that can be affected by the increase or decrease of cortisol production caused by adrenal dysfunctions. This ingredient also helps support your little one’s liver, which can be affected by the condition.

What is Addison’s Disease in Dogs and Cats?
Addison’s disease in pets happens when your dog or cat’s adrenal glands fail to produce enough essential hormones (corticosteroids) for normal body functions. These hormones include stress hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, which helps regulate blood pressure by managing electrolytes in your blood.
In other words, when your dogs or cats are diagnosed with Addison’s disease, it means that their bodies can’t function properly with inadequate hormones.
Addison’s disease can happen to any dog, especially to middle-aged female dogs. Contrarily, it is rare for cats to have Addison’s disease.
