HMR Lignans for Dogs I Vitamin for Healthy Pet | Wellness Supplement | Nutritional - 90 Capsules I 40mg

Last year our 12 year old Sheltie-Chow mix did not re-grow much of his coat several months after his summer trip to the dog groomer. Never had this issue before. He was drinking a lot more water and his skin had developed black spots visible through his thinning coat. Took him to the vet for his annual dental cleaning and he had a reaction to the anesthetic-no problems ever before. We knew something was wrong so he was tested for diabetes and thyroid, that wasn't it. The vet mentioned Cushing's disease which was going to involve an 8 hour stay at the vet's for testing and of course,more money. I started searching the internet to find out if anything could be done without any more expensive and possibly dangerous tests and drugs. I found out about the flax lignan and melatonin combination. These products were reasonably priced and not a lot of side effects either. We started him on the weight appropriate doses of the HMR Lignans and melatonin the next week. About a month later, we noticed his fur had started growing back, he was drinking less water, and as a bonus-being calmer during thunderstorms.. It's been a year now and just like the old days we have dog fur everywhere on him (and all over the house )again! No more trips to the groomer or dental cleanings for our 13 year "old man", but he's alive and doing well. This is definitely worth a try if you can not afford expensive vet bills for Cushing's treatment... *update 3/4/18 Our dog passed away yesterday. He lived to be 15 years old which is about 2-1/2 years longer than we thought he would. I believe the lignan and melatonin combination along with some cardio support vitamins gave us the extra time. He was chasing cats and squirrels right up until the day he died. His coat was just as full and beautiful as it was when he was 2 or 3. He had slowed down a bit in his last few months due to arthritis, but I have no regrets about giving him this product.

Helps my do that has Cushings

This really helped my dog. Saw improvement quickly.

My 10 year old dog has Cushings. Didn't realize it immediately and vet tests were borderline. She was urinating frequently while napping. Initially I purchased pee pants and washable pads because I didn't know the reason. Then upon researching, I found a great reviewer's suggestion of a Dr's video and their praise of this product in helping their dog. Thank you reviewer. My vet was suggesting meds that were costly, required periodic costly testing, no guarantee of a better, longer life and you couldn't stop the meds once you start. I prefer holistic for myself and my pets if possible. Molly is doing great. No more accidents or need for pee pants. I do keep the pad under her blanket just in case. We went from 3 accidents in a week to none at all. She's happy and I'm happy she's happy.

Saw no difference. Dog rapidly deteriorated. Hopefully you have better luck.

Stuffing one of the pills down the throat of my dog, is not an easy task. So, I tried separating the capsules to sprinkle Lignans over my dogs food, and, although the manufacturer's website says that is an alternative way of dispensing this product, separating the capsules, was more difficult (had to cut them) than stuffing them down my dogs throat. In the long run, I replaced these with the ground flaxseed powder from the same manufacturer, which was much, much easier to dispense. I do think, however, that the combination of Lignans and Melatonin seems to have helped my 13 year old dog with suspected Cushing's disease.

My big boy suffers from Cushings disease and liver disease. One of the unfortunate symptoms from the enlargement of the liver is that he pants constantly as if he ran a marathon. This supplement has drastically reduced the panting. It took a couple weeks for it to work, but once it did it’s effect was nothing short of amazing. I also use their melatonin product in conjunction with this to decrease his anxiety and help him to sleep as these diseases cause him to constantly pace due to discomfort. The melatonin has helped with this as well.

My basset hound was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease a year ago and the doctor recommended HMR Lignans and melatonin for her disorder. Melatonin was easy to find, but the HMR Lignans was a different story. Fortunately, we found them on Amazon and we were able to start her treatment. Within 30 days, her blood levels began to normalize and in 60 days, she seemed like a healthier doggy. My dog has passed on since then, but this product, along with the prescribed melatonin, helped to control her disease, improve her quality of life and extended her time on earth a little bit longer. If your doggy has Cushing's and your vet has recommended HMR Lignans, then you can put your trust in this brand and know that your pup is in good hands.
