When I look at a dog’s health, I don’t just focus on the symptoms—I want to understand why they’re happening. If your dog struggles with chronic stress, fatigue, or hormone imbalances, their adrenal glands may need extra support. That’s where Drenatrophin PMG® by Standard Process comes in.
This supplement helps restore balance to your dog’s adrenal system so they can handle stress better, recover faster, and feel more like themselves again. I often include it as part of my holistic treatment plans, alongside whole-food nutrition, lifestyle changes, and sometimes cold laser therapy for dogs dealing with chronic fatigue or inflammatory conditions.
What Is Drenatrophin PMG® and How Does It Work?
Drenatrophin PMG® is a whole-food supplement made by Standard Process, a trusted company that’s been formulating high-quality nutritional products since 1929. It’s designed specifically to support adrenal gland function—the small but mighty organs that produce hormones for energy, stress response, and immune health.
The “PMG” stands for protomorphogen extract, a unique type of glandular extract made from bovine (cow) adrenal tissue. In simple terms, these extracts provide cellular building blocks that help support the same organ in your dog’s body.
When the adrenal glands are under chronic stress—think repeated anxiety, illness, or long-term medications—they can become overworked. Drenatrophin PMG provides the nutrients and targeted glandular support the body needs to repair and restore healthy function.
Key Benefits for Dogs
Here’s what I’ve seen Drenatrophin PMG support in my patients:
- Adrenal Health & Hormone Balance
Helps the adrenal glands maintain proper hormone production, improving stress tolerance and recovery. - Calmer Mood & Stress Response
Supports the body’s natural ability to handle stress, easing symptoms like nervousness, panting, or restlessness. - Improved Energy Levels
Many dogs regain energy and mental clarity once their adrenal system starts working efficiently again. - Stronger Immune Function
Balanced adrenal hormones help regulate the immune system, which can reduce inflammation and support healing.
These benefits make Drenatrophin PMG especially helpful for dogs with Cushing’s, Addison’s, chronic anxiety, or general burnout from long-term stress.
What’s Inside Drenatrophin PMG®
Each ingredient in this formula serves a specific purpose:
- Bovine Adrenal PMG® Extract: Targets and nourishes adrenal tissues at the cellular level to restore balance.
- Magnesium Citrate: Supports muscle relaxation, nerve function, and cellular energy production.
- Calcium Lactate: A gentle, bioavailable form of calcium that promotes healthy muscles, bones, and nerve communication.
Together, these nutrients work synergistically to calm the nervous system, support healthy hormone production, and keep your dog’s stress response in check.
When I Recommend Drenatrophin PMG®
I typically suggest this supplement when I see:
- Chronic stress or anxiety symptoms
- Adrenal gland disorders (like Cushing’s or Addison’s)
- Fatigue, poor coat quality, or slow recovery from illness
- Dogs on long-term medications that strain hormone systems
I sometimes combine Drenatrophin PMG with whole-food vitamin support (like Cataplex C or E) and cold laser therapy for a full-body wellness approach. The laser helps improve circulation and cellular repair while the supplement rebuilds internal balance.
Dosage & How to Give It
The right dose depends on your dog’s size and current health. Here’s a general guide I use:
| Dog Size | Typical Dosage (per day) |
|---|---|
| Small Dogs (1–20 lbs) | 1 tablet twice daily |
| Medium Dogs (21–50 lbs) | 1½ tablets twice daily |
| Large Dogs (51 lbs +) | 2 tablets twice daily |
Tips for giving:
- Offer tablets directly or hide them in a small treat.
- For best results, give on an empty stomach so absorption isn’t blocked by food.
- Always start low and increase slowly as advised by your vet.
Possible Side Effects and Safety
Drenatrophin PMG is generally very well-tolerated. Occasionally, some dogs may experience:
- Mild digestive upset (soft stool or reduced appetite for a day or two)
- Rare allergic reactions (itching, hives, or facial swelling—stop immediately and call your vet if these appear)
Safety tips:
- Always check with your holistic or conventional veterinarian before starting any new supplement.
- Start gradually, especially if your dog has a sensitive stomach.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
