Overview
Which horses benefit from pituitary support?
With advances in management and technology, senior horses are living longer than ever. Unfortunately, the results of stress over a long lifetime can have an impact one of the structures responsible for normal hormone production – the pituitary glands. By affecting your horse’s endocrine function, issues with pituitary health put stress on the immune system, cause loss of muscle tone, and lead to poor shedding.
For horses with pituitary challenges, the specialized formulas in this category may be ideal as part of a comprehensive management program designed with your veterinarian. In addition to helping maintain endocrine health, these products include targeted ingredients to help address the areas of health most affected by pituitary dysfunction.

Seems to be helping
I started my PPID 25 year old gelding on this about a month ago, and it seems to be helping with his overall attitude and shedding. I plan to keep him on it for now. My only complaint would be that it does have an odor, and he really doesn't like to eat it, even when mixed with his feed.

Worth a try!
I don’t really know how to rate this product yet as I’ve only been using it for a month (+]. So far I haven’t seen any outward change in my 28 year old cushings mare with neurologic problems. Perhaps it’s not what she needs, but I thought it worth a try.

This stuff works!
My horse was diagnosed with Cushings last summer. Even with his daily dose of Prascend, he continued to do poorly- tired, no appetite, depressed, poor attitude. After about 2 months on SmartPituitary Senior® Pellets, I have my former horse back- perky, friendly, good work ethic. I wouldn't quit using Prascend prescription drug, but I do recommend supplementing with this fine product/

Great product for my horse
My 15yr old mare's Cushing symptoms seem to be subsiding after only 2 months on this product. She can be finicky, but she eats it right up!

I’m Not Sure Yet
Too soon to tell. That’s why only three stars. Will know with next bloodwork in a few weeks.

Seems to have worked
I bought this for a horse showing the early signs of Cushings. It does seem to have helped (hard to tell with cold temps and winter coats).

Worked wonders
I have had my senior mare (24 YO Quarter Horse) on this supplement for almost a year now, but I began to see favorable results within the first 3 months!! I am more than pleased with the product!! She has blossomed while using it. She has more energy and stamina than she has had for years. She struggles with Heaves as well as Pituitary symptoms, but the Heaves symptoms are more easily controlled now that she is on SmartPituitary for Seniors. I believe the antioxidants and other ingredients have given her entire system a boost. Specifically, I noticed a vast improvement in her topline within 3 mos on this product. She is shedding her (very wooley) winter coat normally and has fewer problems with skin infections. Full disclosure: she was prescribed Levothyroxine by our vet for her pituitary problems but he advised that the medication alone would not resolve all her issues and suggested a supplement. The SmartPak advisors suggested this one and I am very pleased with the results! It is also very easy for barn staff to administer which is very important to ensure she gets it consistently. I love SmartPaks!

Horse wouldn’t eat
Unfortunatly my horse refused to eat the pellets. I tried several different things to entice her, but she took one sniff snd refused to eat.

Pony and Horse won’t eat
I bought this for pony and horse that are both diagnosed with Cushings. Both are feed hogs, and neither would touch their feed with this in it. I tried adding things to make it more palatable and they still wouldn’t touch it.

Major improvement so far
My 26 yo mini horse has been getting really drug down by the winters the past few years getting respiratory infections, winter laminitis, etc. I’ve been testing out different supplements and nothing has seemed to help. My vet recommended trying this supplement. He wouldn’t eat it at first but after a few days he warmed up to it. He acts like a 10 yr old again. We’re already into the point of winter where he starts getting sore and depressed and he’s as lively as ever right now, feeling good! Will be interesting to see if this keeps him that way. I’m sold on it so far, just ordered some more.
