If your dog struggles with breathing issues, chronic coughing, or simply needs a little lung support, you may have heard about Pneumotrophin PMG® by Standard Process. I often recommend this supplement for dogs who need extra help maintaining healthy respiratory function.
This guide explains what it is, how it works, and how to use it safely and effectively.
What Is Pneumotrophin PMG®?
Pneumotrophin PMG® is a nutritional supplement made by Standard Process, a company known for producing high-quality, whole food–based formulas.
It’s designed to support:
- Healthy lung tissue
- Strong respiratory function
- Balanced immune response
The formula includes Protomorphogen™ extracts, a unique Standard Process ingredient made from animal tissues that help support organ-specific cellular health. In this case, bovine (cow) lung extracts provide the nutrients needed for your dog’s own lung cells to function normally.
This supplement has been trusted by veterinarians for decades to help dogs with respiratory weakness, chronic coughing, or lung inflammation.
Key Benefits of Pneumotrophin PMG® for Dogs
Here’s how this supplement helps support your dog’s health:
- Supports Healthy Breathing: Promotes normal lung function and helps maintain clear, comfortable breathing.
- Strengthens the Immune System: Helps your dog’s natural defenses respond appropriately to respiratory challenges.
- Encourages Cellular Repair: Supplies nutrients that help the body replace and restore damaged lung tissue.
- Improves Oxygen Use: By supporting normal respiratory efficiency, it can help increase your dog’s stamina and energy.
- Provides Antioxidant Protection: Helps neutralize free radicals that can damage cells, especially during inflammation or illness.
Many pet parents notice that their dogs breathe easier, have more energy, and recover faster after respiratory infections when Pneumotrophin PMG is part of their wellness plan.
What’s Inside: Ingredient Overview
Every ingredient in Pneumotrophin PMG® plays a specific role in supporting respiratory health.
Main Ingredients:
- Protomorphogen™ Extracts: Unique cellular support factors that help guide normal organ repair and function.
- Bovine Lung PMG™ Extract: Sourced from healthy lung tissue to provide direct nutritional support for your dog’s lungs.
- Calcium Lactate: A highly absorbable form of calcium that supports muscle and nerve function, including those needed for breathing.
- Magnesium Citrate: Helps relax the muscles around the airways and supports healthy lung expansion during breathing.
Together, these nutrients work to nourish the lungs at the cellular level, encourage healing, and maintain overall vitality.
When I Recommend Pneumotrophin PMG®
I often use this supplement for dogs dealing with:
- Chronic coughing or throat clearing
- Respiratory infections such as kennel cough
- Asthma or bronchitis (in combination with other natural therapies)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Environmental sensitivities to smoke, dust, or allergens
- Post-surgery recovery, especially after anesthesia or respiratory stress
It can also be part of a general wellness plan for older dogs or those exposed to environmental irritants.
How It Works
- Cellular support: Protomorphogen™ extracts help normalize immune responses and tissue repair.
- Nutrient replenishment: Calcium and magnesium support muscle tone and smooth breathing.
- Targeted lung nutrition: The bovine lung extract delivers tissue-specific nutrients right where they’re needed most.
For dogs recovering from illness or chronic respiratory stress, cold laser therapy can be a great companion treatment. Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation, increase oxygen delivery, and speed healing in lung tissue.

Dosage and Administration
For best results, give Pneumotrophin PMG® on an empty stomach when possible.
| Dog Size | Recommended Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Small (1–20 lbs) | 1 tablet | Twice daily |
| Medium (21–50 lbs) | 2 tablets | Twice daily |
| Large (51+ lbs) | 3 tablets | Twice daily |
How to Give It:
- Offer tablets directly by hand or as a small treat.
- Hide in a tiny bit of peanut butter, cheese, or another favorite snack if your dog is picky.
- Try to give doses at the same times each day for consistency.
Possible Side Effects and Safety
Pneumotrophin PMG® is generally very safe for dogs. Occasionally, some may experience mild digestive upset such as soft stool or temporary loss of appetite when first starting.
If this happens:
- Skip one dose, then resume at half the amount.
- Gradually increase back to the full dose over a few days.
- If symptoms persist, stop use and contact your veterinarian.
Avoid doubling doses if one is missed. Always discuss new supplements with your vet if your dog has an existing medical condition or takes prescription medications.
