Gold Standard Herbs Adoptrex 85g
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.

About Gold Standard Herbs & Dr Steve Marsden
Holistic veterinarians tease out the mechanisms behind chronic problems and then prescribe herbal formulas to address them.
Famed holistic veterinarian Dr. Steve Marsden was donating his time doing just that for San Diego senior dog rescues a few years ago to try to reduce their vet bills. Senior dog rescuers have hearts of gold, taking in as many elderly homeless dogs as possible and getting them the care they need, but the costs of that care can be enormous.
Dr. Steve reasoned that if he could use holistic medicine to save them money, rescuers would have more money to help homeless pets. The top concerns of the rescues were allergies, GI upset, pancreatitis, lameness and stress. To treat them, Dr. Steve found he was always reaching for the same prescriptions. He decided to create versions tailored to the needs of the rescues, so they could use them without Dr. Steve’s help. The result was the vet bills were cut in half! (see Reviews, below).
Since many pet owners struggle with the same issues in their own pets, but don’t have access to a holistic veterinarian, it made sense to Dr. Steve to offer these same formulas directly to the general public. And just like that, Gold Standard was born. These formulas will never replace the need for holistic veterinarians, but if we can help even a fraction of the animals out there, we've done a lot of good in the world.
