Cushing’s disease or hyperadrenocorticism in dogs is an endocrine disease resulting in a set of symptoms observed when the body is exposed to excess cortisone over a long period of time. It commonly affects middle-aged dogs and the most common breeds affected are poodles, dachshunds, and beagles.
Complete blood workup is recommended and specific Cushing’s disease tests are performed to diagnose Cushing’s disease in dogs.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that are located on top of the kidneys. Cortisol is stored in the adrenal glands and is released in times of stress where it helps our bodies prepare for a fight or flight situation. It adjusts the metabolism to expect physical exertion by mobilizing fat and sugar stores and retaining sodium and water. It puts us in a state of a breakdown so that our stored resources can be used quickly. However, if the body is exposed to this hormone on an ongoing basis instead of during short stressful periods only, the state of breakdown becomes debilitating. This disease affects a number of bodily systems, and signs of the disease vary considerably between cases.
The most common symptoms of Cushing’s disease in dogs that we see in our clinic include:
- Drinking excessive amounts of water and urinating excessively
- Increased hunger
- Hair loss
- Darkening of the skin and appearance of blackheads on the skin
- Potbellied abdomen and obesity
- Urinary bladder stones and or crystals
There are three types of conditions that can lead to Cushing’s syndrome and it is important to know which one your dog has since the treatments are different.
1) Pituitary Dependent Cushing’s syndrome – is an enlargement of the pituitary gland (85% of dogs have this type),
2) Adrenal-dependent Cushing’s syndrome – is a tumor of the adrenal gland (15% of dogs have this type)
3) Iatrogenic – overuse of steroids medications in your dog.
Testing Cushing’s Disease in Dogs
It is important to visit your veterinarian if any of the above signs are seen in your dog – The above symptoms can mimic other endocrine or metabolic diseases. Complete blood workup is recommended and specific Cushing’s disease tests are performed to diagnose Cushing’s disease in dogs. A low dose dexamethasone suppression test, and or high dose dexamethasone suppression test, and an adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) stimulation test. An abdominal ultrasound of the adrenal glands is helpful in differentiating between adrenal gland tumor versus pituitary-dependent Cushing’s disease.
The most commonly prescribed medications to treat PDH Cushing’s disease include trilostane or lysodren. Your veterinarian will know which medication will be best for your dog. However, you should be aware that there are side effects to the medications used for Cushing’s in dogs.
Surgery is the most common treatment for adrenal gland tumors.
NHV Natural Pet Products does have a natural supplement called Supraglan, which may be beneficial in managing Cushing’s disease in dogs. Supraglan contains herbs like borage, astragalus, and eleuthero, which may help support the adrenal gland. In addition to the Supraglan, it is a good idea to use the Milk Thistle to help detoxify the liver. Both the Supraglan and the Milk Thistle can be used in conjunction with western medication or alone. Always consult your veterinarian before the use of supplements, and during use so that they may monitor your pet.
High levels of fish oils (you may want to try NHV PetOmega-3), antioxidants, and a good quality diet are also recommended.
We have also successfully used acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapies to improve the management of Cushing’s disease.

Canine Adrenal and Cushing’s Support
Dogs with adrenal disorders like Cushing’s and Addison’s may have other health issues that can affect a pup’s quality of life. Supraglan™ canine adrenal support supplements can help these dogs.
The overproduction of cortisol in canines with Cushing’s disease can cause excessive thirst, urination, and appetite. These symptoms can result in other side effects like obesity, fat pads near the neck, and low energy.
Cushing’s disease may sometimes be the result of continued steroid use or a tumor on the adrenal gland. Your vet’s treatment plan for Cushing’s or other canine adrenal support will likely include medication and potential surgery in cases where a tumor is present. Feeding Supraglan™ supplements to your dog alongside the vet’s treatment will help them through the process.

Holistic Pet Adrenal Support
What are the adrenal glands?
They are two small glands located next to the kidneys that work alongside the pituitary and hypothalamus glands to help regulate digestion, the immune system, and most importantly, the body’s response to stress.
When your furkiddo is stressed, their adrenal glands produce the hormones that stimulate a fight or flight response. This primal reaction can be a real lifesaver in many dangerous situations, but problems may develop when your dog or cat's adrenal system releases too much or too little of these glucocorticoid hormones. Stress can be triggered by many factors such as surgery, trauma, a change in routine, illness or even extreme weather.
Two of the most common adrenal gland disorders are Cushing’s disease (too much cortisol in the bloodstream) and Addison’s disease (too little cortisol and aldosterone).
Cushing's Disease or hyperadrenocorticism is caused by the overproduction of the hormone ACTH which is then released into the bloodstream and stimulates the adrenal glands to produce increased levels of cortisol. The adrenal glands can be pushed into overdrive from a few different causes, but most commonly, Cushing’s is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland, known as an adenoma. As scary as this sounds, it may not be life-threatening, and if caught early, your pet may be able to maintain a good quality of life and minimize symptoms. If left untreated, this type of tumor may become metastatic and develop into cancer. The telltale signs of Cushing's disease often resemble normal aging due to symptoms like lethargy, weight gain, and a dull and dry coat. Also, age is most likely a factor as Cushing's does not usually develop in dogs until the age of ten. Although less common, Cushing’s (too much cortisol) can affect our feline friends too.
Certain breeds of dogs are more prone to Cushing’s, partly because certain breeds are more prone to stress. Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Dachshunds are a few dog breeds that are more likely to develop this kind of glandular disorder.
Cushing’s Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Excessive thirst and urination
- Increased appetite (possible obesity)
- Weak muscles
- Lethargy
- Heat intolerance & panting
- Dry coat and hair loss
- Bruising
Addison’s Disease or hypoadrenocorticism occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones. Standard Poodles, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and West Highland White Terriers are some of the breeds that may be more susceptible to this glandular disorder. Addison’s Disease (too little hormone) is more common in young to middle-aged dogs and in some purebred cats.
There are two types of Addison’s Disease, primary and secondary. The primary type of Addison’s is essentially a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the adrenal glands and damages the adrenal cortex. If your furry friend is battling tumors, other diseases or is taking vet-prescribed medications to treat Cushing's, these may be contributing factors to an underactive adrenal cortex, which leads to secondary Addison’s Disease caused by a pituitary gland tumor, long-term exposure to steroids or a side effect of suddenly pausing a medication.
Addison's Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Loss of appetite
- Malnutrition (from lack of appetite and diarrhea)
- Occasional vomiting
- Diarrhea (sometimes dark and bloody)
- They become very weak and don’t feel like walking or playing
- Decreased energy
- Hair loss
- Decreased heart rate
The symptoms of adrenal disorders can be similar to various other health conditions in pets so your vet may recommend some in-depth diagnostic tests like a CBC, a chemistry panel, electrolyte tests and ACTH-stimulation tests to investigate your furkiddo’s symptoms.
For adrenal disease in cats or dogs with possible malnutrition (from diarrhea and excessive urination), we'd suggest adding NHV’s Adrenal Super Support and Nutritional Balance Kit to their daily meals. This bundle of natural remedies contains Supraglan, Milk thistle and Multi Essentials which have been specifically formulated for pets to gently re-balance the adrenal glands, reduce inflammation, and eliminate toxins.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Disease in Cats or Dogs
An adrenal gland disorder impacts so many areas of the body. We would recommend a holistic pet adrenal support that connects and aids each of the affected areas while minimizing side effects to help your little one get their health back on track. Suplaglan is an all-natural blend of herbs specially formulated to focus on all areas affected by glandular disorders like Cushing’s or Addison's Disease. Wild yam helps restore hormone balance, licorice encourages hormone production, and borage naturally stimulates the endocrine system to rebalance adrenal cortex function and support a calmer body and mind. In addition to helping the adrenal and endocrine system, Suplaglan also contains herbs that support the kidneys, liver, and immune system, which we know are vital to maintaining a healthy body. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver, kidneys, and is known to encourage cell regeneration. And Multi Essentials help replenish vital nutrients that your pet may have lost from increased urination, diarrhea and a fluctuating metabolism (from unstable hormone levels).
SUPRAGLAN
- Beneficial support to rebalance adrenal and pituitary gland function
- Supports healthy water and electrolyte levels (reduces urine output and thirst)

Description
Holistic Pet Adrenal Support
What are the adrenal glands?
They are two small glands located next to the kidneys that work alongside the pituitary and hypothalamus glands to help regulate digestion, the immune system, and most importantly, the body’s response to stress.
When your furkiddo is stressed, their adrenal glands produce the hormones that stimulate a fight or flight response. This primal reaction can be a real lifesaver in many dangerous situations, but problems may develop when your dog or cat's adrenal system releases too much or too little of these glucocorticoid hormones. Stress can be triggered by many factors such as surgery, trauma, a change in routine, illness or even extreme weather.
Two of the most common adrenal gland disorders are Cushing’s disease (too much cortisol in the bloodstream) and Addison’s disease (too little cortisol and aldosterone).
Cushing's Disease or hyperadrenocorticism is caused by the overproduction of the hormone ACTH which is then released into the bloodstream and stimulates the adrenal glands to produce increased levels of cortisol. The adrenal glands can be pushed into overdrive from a few different causes, but most commonly, Cushing’s is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland, known as an adenoma. As scary as this sounds, it may not be life-threatening, and if caught early, your pet may be able to maintain a good quality of life and minimize symptoms. If left untreated, this type of tumor may become metastatic and develop into cancer. The telltale signs of Cushing's disease often resemble normal aging due to symptoms like lethargy, weight gain, and a dull and dry coat. Also, age is most likely a factor as Cushing's does not usually develop in dogs until the age of ten. Although less common, Cushing’s (too much cortisol) can affect our feline friends too.
Certain breeds of dogs are more prone to Cushing’s, partly because certain breeds are more prone to stress. Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Dachshunds are a few dog breeds that are more likely to develop this kind of glandular disorder.
Cushing’s Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Excessive thirst and urination
- Increased appetite (possible obesity)
- Weak muscles
- Lethargy
- Heat intolerance & panting
- Dry coat and hair loss
- Bruising
Addison’s Disease or hypoadrenocorticism occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones. Standard Poodles, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and West Highland White Terriers are some of the breeds that may be more susceptible to this glandular disorder. Addison’s Disease (too little hormone) is more common in young to middle-aged dogs and in some purebred cats.
There are two types of Addison’s Disease, primary and secondary. The primary type of Addison’s is essentially a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the adrenal glands and damages the adrenal cortex. If your furry friend is battling tumors, other diseases or is taking vet-prescribed medications to treat Cushing's, these may be contributing factors to an underactive adrenal cortex, which leads to secondary Addison’s Disease caused by a pituitary gland tumor, long-term exposure to steroids or a side effect of suddenly pausing a medication.
Addison's Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Loss of appetite
- Malnutrition (from lack of appetite and diarrhea)
- Occasional vomiting
- Diarrhea (sometimes dark and bloody)
- They become very weak and don’t feel like walking or playing
- Decreased energy
- Hair loss
- Decreased heart rate
The symptoms of adrenal disorders can be similar to various other health conditions in pets so your vet may recommend some in-depth diagnostic tests like a CBC, a chemistry panel, electrolyte tests and ACTH-stimulation tests to investigate your furkiddo’s symptoms.
For adrenal disease in cats or dogs with possible malnutrition (from diarrhea and excessive urination), we'd suggest adding NHV’s Adrenal Super Support and Nutritional Balance Kit to their daily meals. This bundle of natural remedies contains Supraglan, Milk thistle and Multi Essentials which have been specifically formulated for pets to gently re-balance the adrenal glands, reduce inflammation, and eliminate toxins.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Disease in Cats or Dogs
An adrenal gland disorder impacts so many areas of the body. We would recommend a holistic pet adrenal support that connects and aids each of the affected areas while minimizing side effects to help your little one get their health back on track. Suplaglan is an all-natural blend of herbs specially formulated to focus on all areas affected by glandular disorders like Cushing’s or Addison's Disease. Wild yam helps restore hormone balance, licorice encourages hormone production, and borage naturally stimulates the endocrine system to rebalance adrenal cortex function and support a calmer body and mind. In addition to helping the adrenal and endocrine system, Suplaglan also contains herbs that support the kidneys, liver, and immune system, which we know are vital to maintaining a healthy body. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver, kidneys, and is known to encourage cell regeneration. And Multi Essentials help replenish vital nutrients that your pet may have lost from increased urination, diarrhea and a fluctuating metabolism (from unstable hormone levels).
SUPRAGLAN

My beagle was diagnosed with Cushings 3 months ago. She had severe side effects from using Trilostane and I stopped the medication after about 6 weeks.
When I got home from work today, she could not stand up. Is this due to the disease?
Hello Marlene,
We’re so sad to hear of your Beagle’s diagnosis, we know how difficult it can be when our fur baby’s have a bad reaction to medication.
We recommend the use of our Adrenal Support & Nutritional Balance Kit found here: https://www.nhvnaturalpetproducts.com/Adrenal-Super-Support-and-Nutritional-Balance-Kit
This will help to support your pets adrenal function and address many of the symptoms of Cushing’s disease and also help to detox your pets system and support the liver.
Muscle weakness is a common symptom of Cushing’s Disease. You should always check with your veterinarian to ensure there is not an underlying cause such as an injury or bone condition.
Please do reach out if you have any questions and we are happy to help you and your beloved Beagle.
