As a holistic veterinarian, I often see how a dog’s hormones affect her energy, coat, mood, and overall wellness. For female dogs with intact ovaries, Ovex® P by Standard Process is one of my favorite supplements for natural ovarian and hormone support.
Made with whole-food ingredients, Ovex P helps maintain healthy ovarian function and supports balanced hormone production. It’s especially helpful for:
- Breeding females
- Dogs with irregular heat cycles
- Pets needing gentle, natural reproductive system support
Let’s take a closer look at what makes Ovex P unique, when I recommend it, and how to use it safely.
What is Ovex P by Standard Process?
Ovex P is a whole-food supplement that supports the ovaries and hormone balance in female dogs with intact reproductive systems. It contains:
- Porcine ovary PMG™ extract for direct glandular support
- Magnesium citrate for hormone and muscle health
Standard Process has produced quality, whole-food supplements since the 1920s, combining traditional wellness principles with modern nutrition science. Ovex P follows this same approach by using glandular therapy—a method where specific organ extracts nourish the corresponding organ in the body.
Why I Recommend Ovex P for Dogs
Hormone balance affects so many aspects of health: energy levels, metabolism, coat quality, mood, and even immune strength. Ovex P offers a gentle, targeted way to support these systems naturally.
Key Benefits
- Supports healthy ovarian function in intact females
- Promotes normal hormone balance and reproductive cycles
- Nourishes the endocrine system for better overall function
- Provides organ-specific support through PMG™ extract
- Includes magnesium citrate for muscle, nerve, and reproductive health
- Pairs well with a holistic care plan including diet, exercise, and lifestyle support
Ovex P isn’t a quick fix. It’s part of a long-term wellness plan that helps your dog’s body find balance naturally.
You can find Ovex P directly through my clinic’s store at Journeys Holistic Life, where I offer only trusted, veterinarian-recommended supplements.
Natural, Whole-Food Ingredients
Each Ovex P tablet includes:
- Vitamin C (2 mg): antioxidant support for tissue health
- Calcium lactate: supports muscle, nerve, and hormone function
- Porcine ovary Cytosol™ extract: provides organ-specific glandular support
- Magnesium citrate: assists in hormone production and nervous system health
- d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E from sunflower): promotes cellular and reproductive wellness
Other ingredients: cellulose, calcium stearate, ascorbic acid, and modified tapioca starch.
This blend is made from whole foods and organ extracts, not synthetic isolates—helping your dog’s body absorb and use nutrients more effectively.
When Ovex P May Help
In my practice, I’ve seen Ovex P make a meaningful difference for female dogs struggling with hormone or reproductive issues. Common situations where I consider Ovex P include:
- Irregular heat cycles or hormonal imbalances
- Endocrine support under veterinary supervision
- Post-cycle or breeding recovery for intact females
- Stress-related mood changes influenced by hormone shifts
How It Works
Ovex P supports hormone balance through three main actions:
- Protomorphogen™ extracts provide tissue-specific support to the ovaries.
- Calcium lactate maintains normal calcium levels essential for hormone secretion.
- Magnesium citrate aids hormone production and nerve regulation.
Together, these nutrients help the reproductive and endocrine systems function naturally and efficiently.
Dosage and Administration
Always work with your veterinarian to determine the correct dose for your dog. Typical guidelines:
| Dog Size | Suggested Dosage |
|---|---|
| Small (1–20 lbs) | 1 tablet twice daily |
| Medium (21–50 lbs) | 1½ tablets twice daily |
| Large (51 lbs +) | 2 tablets twice daily |
Tips for giving supplements:
- Give tablets by mouth or mix into food.
- For picky eaters, crush and blend with a small amount of wet food.
- Stay consistent—daily use supports long-term results.
If your dog’s condition changes or side effects appear, pause the supplement and check with your veterinarian.
Possible Side Effects and Safety Tips
Most dogs tolerate Ovex P well, but every pet is different. Start slowly and monitor your dog closely during the first few days.
Possible mild side effects:
- Temporary digestive upset
- Mild changes in behavior or energy
- Rare allergic response
If symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.
Safety Reminders
- Follow your vet’s dosage instructions.
- Do not exceed the recommended amount.
- Use extra caution in pregnant or nursing dogs, or pets with chronic health conditions.
Safety always comes first. If you’re unsure, I’m happy to help you evaluate whether Ovex P fits your dog’s overall care plan.
Integrating Ovex P into a Holistic Plan
For best results, I often pair Ovex P with a balanced diet, glandular support, and lifestyle changes. Some dogs also benefit from cold laser therapy, especially when hormone imbalance affects metabolism or tissue recovery.
During an online holistic consultation, I create personalized plans that combine nutrition, supplements, and natural therapies to help your pet feel their best inside and out.
You can schedule a consultation or purchase Standard Process supplements directly through Journeys Holistic Life.
