About Gold Standard Herbs
People who rescue senior dogs are true heroes, taking in countless sick and elderly animals and giving them the love and care they need. In today’s world, the cost of veterinary care is enormous. A few years ago, holistic veterinarian Dr. Steve Marsden felt compelled to get involved and help where he could.
He volunteered his time with rescues in the San Diego area, reasoning that if he could save them money, they could help even more animals. This was during the waning years of COVID, when the number of pets in need was overwhelming.
Each week, Dr. Steve examined and treated the most desperate cases at no cost. Maddening itch, severe pancreatitis, crippling lameness, complete paralysis, and profound stress—Dr. Steve found herbal solutions for all of them, cutting veterinary bills in half. These herbal formulas were true game changers, and the rescue organizations continue to use them to this day.
Dr. Steve soon realized that the problems affecting these foster dogs were common everywhere. If rescuers could use the formulas safely and effectively, so could the general public. This realization led him to share his formulas with our like-minded animal loving founders, which ultimately led to the birth of Gold Standard Herbs.
The skill and wide range of therapies offered by veterinarians will always be essential. When Gold Standard Herbs are added to a treatment plan, it becomes a winning combination for pets and the people who love them
Game Changing Supplements
Helping you help your pet!
Description
Supports normal gut and pancreatic function.
Many dogs have sensitive stomachs and wind up with nasty vomiting, diarrhea, or even both from the slightest diet change. Even if you stop them getting into garbage, a switch to even just another diet can lead to an expensive hospital stay. Your pet ends up stuck on one food that you have to hope never goes out of stock.
Touchy stomachs happen because new foods can overwhelm the digestion and change the gut flora. Acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or even diabetes can result, especially if the pet has been fed canned or kibble food long term.
Adoptrex helps support animals during changes to new diets by promoting a healthy GI. Its components have literally saved the lives of dogs with acute pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus. A strong stomach means there is ample pancreatic and intestinal digestive power and a lack of inflammation. Vomiting and diarrhea stop because the intestinal tract can move normally and control its gut bug population, making ‘garbage guts’ a thing of the past.
