K9 Select Multi-Formula Dog Supplement for Medium Dogs - 20mg HMR Lignans, 2m...

I was feeling hopeless after my senior dog was diagnosed with Cushing's and finding out how ridiculously expensive the testing and treatment is. I got this as a Hail Mary, and it has made a noticeable reduction in my dog's symptoms. She used to be constantly snuffling around for food at every second, and begging to go outside constantly. But now she seems to be able to actually chill and not be as obsessed. Yes, she still is very interested in food and knows exactly when it should be meal time, but she seems like she can actually relax now. It doesn't smell very good and she doesn't seem to like the taste because sometimes she will spit it out. But when I squish it into another soft treat I give her for her joints, she eats it just fine. The effectiveness in reducing her symptoms makes it worth it!

Absolutely amazing!! My dog was testing for cushings and so I tried these since the meds available seemed like a lose lose with awful side effects and little extended life expectancy. After about a month on these his lab work was all normal and tested negative for cushings! AMAZING!!! I tried the beef first and he hated those so had to hid them in peanut butter but since switching to unflavored and just giving two at once hr gobbles them up. If your pup is also battling cushings please give these a try!!!

Our dog with atypical Cushings developed paroxysmal dyskinesia, star gazing and tremors twice after taking this supplement., The pills had to be given in soft food, as our dog didn't even like the smell. The company does not accept returns. Stay away from this product and buy your lignans and melatonin separately.

We have had our dog on these pills for about 5 months. I tried because she has had Cushings for about 3 years and thought it might help. She also takes Vetoryl, so we give her these in pill pockets. We have not had any issues with her not taking the pills or tummy issues. After about 6 weeks, we began to see improvement. I told the vet and she was skeptical, but didn’t see anything that would hurt her. Over time, Siena has grown back most of her hair, she has a lot more energy and has not been drinking near as much water. I took her back to the vet for her yearly check up in December and the vet was amazed at the improvement. This time she took a picture of the bottle and had it recorded in Siena’s chart. She is continuing to strengthen her back legs and has been jumping up on things that she has not been able to jump on in quite a while. She still plays the princess card asking to be helped, but then she is a princess. Based on our experience, we would recommend this product.

My pups hair started growing back almost immediately she has more energy and clearly these are helping with cushions type symptoms. However She’s tiny so I got the 1 mil ones chewable tab peanut butter at any cost she will find a way to spit it out. Cheese treats hiding it in anything I have resulted to begging her to take it so she can have breakfast or dinner. It really must taste awful. I wish they could do something… but maybe they cannot. Ya know how some vitamins taste good but they are not working. Maybe this one has to be this way. In this case I wish it was SMALLER and not flavored so I could hide it better and more easier. I want to give a lower score to get their attention but it’s working the pill is working so how can I give it a bad rating. Will I look for a different brand? Possibly… she grown to dread it and I cannot think of new ideas to hide it. 😭

I've been purchasing this brands regular Melatonin for my little 12 yr old Maltese for years. She has some anxiety especially in the evenings so she would get one every night before bed & it's always helped her sleep. She was recently diagnosed with Cushings & the prescription medication Vetoryl caused many terrible side effects, the worst being she had weakening in her back legs & became unable to stand up or walk on her own! My vet said this IS a known side effect of that particular medication but it's very rare. After speaking with her in length about it & getting her okay, I decided to take her off the medication completely & go with a more holistic approach. I learned that Milk Thistle & Lignans were good for treating Cushings naturally & I was happy to find that this particular brand made a Melatonin supplement that included those 2 ingredients so I purchased a bottle immediately! They are chewable & Peanut Butter flavored & my little girl looks forward to getting one every night now! She has been off the prescription medication & taking these instead for about 3 weeks...she's fully regained use of her back legs & her Cushings symptoms (panting, excessive drinking, bloated belly) have all gotten much better! She still has these symptoms but no where near as severe as they were! I would definitely speak with your vet before switching from prescription meds to these as it may not be the right solution for every dog with Cushings & it can be dangerous to suddenly stop a medication without being weaned off slowly but you can also give these along with prescription Cushings medication so it's atleast worth a try in my opinion.

I recently tried the K9 Select Multi-Formula Dog Vitamins for my smaller dogs, and while I appreciate the quality of the ingredients, I have to say that my pups are not fans of the peanut butter flavor. They seem to hesitate when it comes to taking these vitamins, which is surprising since they usually enjoy their supplements. We’ve loved this brand in the past, especially the beef flavor, which they devour without any hesitation. The vitamins themselves contain great ingredients like HMR Lignans, melatonin, and milk thistle, which are beneficial for heart, liver, digestion, and skin health. Overall, if your dogs enjoy peanut butter, these might work for you. However, I would recommend sticking with the beef flavor if your pups have a preference. We still appreciate the brand and the quality, but I hope they expand their flavor options in the future!

Update April 2026 - Our Sophie is still doing just fine, she had been diagnosed with cushings disease in Dec of 2023. Please read on and I pray you too have the same results we have. Simply amazing. UPDATE Dec 2025- our baby is still alive and thriving- this has been a lifesaver for her. The following was the previous review in Dec 2023. So, our fur baby was diagnosed with cushings n didn’t tolerate the hideous drugs (that state people need to wash their hands well after even touching them so scary right!) anyway- after 3 weeks of her on these n an additional supplement from this same company- we took her back for her checkup today and our vet (who also has a dog that has cushings who gives her standard drugs) said she was amazed. Said to keep doing what we are doing until when n if it stops working. We give her one of these in tha AM - n a flaxseed one in PM n give her dasquin (spelling)? Which help her joints 3-4 times a week. Now, we caught it early where saw a few little tufts of hair over this one week n then noticed she was drinking a lot n her legs sometimes quivered when she was eating or drinking at her bowl. We raised the bowls to about her shoulder level but with the meds no more symptoms. Hopefully it keeps working- we will see but for now we are and so is the vet AMAZED

Happy with product and delivery was on time

Perfect natural therapy for our fur baby, it’s improved her Cushings significantly! Highly recommend, even approved by her vet (who originally pushed the pharmaceutical meds).

Would highly recommend as it has dramatically improved the overall happiness and health (coat softness, weight and quality of sleep). We have a female Golden retriever for reference.

thanks
