Product 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.

I got my pony back!
I bought this a few months ago to help with my young pony with Cushing's. He became really crabby and skittish. It was heart breaking! After only a few weeks on this supplement and huge improvement! Few months in and we will never go without this amazing product! Thanks for giving my family our sweet pony back!

Wow!
My horse and I have been together 21 years now (he is a 24 year oldConnemara with Cushings and IR)and he developed Cushings in his teens. He takes pergolide and supplements to help him. His Cushings is considered advanced, so he has quite a few symptoms. I had read about some of the ingredients in SmartPituitary before, but really was hesitant to try them without knowing how to balance the amounts. I was excited to try these pellets. First, he ate them right up(phew!)(being picky is one of his quirks). Then he shedded a bit, not a ton(I still have to clip him). Then his sheath swelling reduced to normal. Then he gained muscle on his back, where it has dropped somewhat. To top it all off, his bloodwork results were great this time. He is back to being a cheerful, demanding Connemara love bug and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you SmartPak!!

Horse won't eat it
Usually, my horse loves the SmartPak supplements, but this one is a dud for us. After 3 weeks of trying to feed this supplement, my horse is still refusing to eat her feed when this supplement is mixed in. I can't really rate the quality of effectiveness of this product if my horse won't eat it.

Just started this supplement with Ozzy which is the only reason I only gave it 4 stars. He is eating it well and I have great hopes for it to prolong his health!

6 months and seeing definite improvement
I have had my 24 year old Percheron/TB gelding on this for about 6 months now and so far it seems to be helping him. He has cushings and is now blind from a combination of the cushings and uveitis... when he grew his winter coat early in June of last year and then blew it at the end of October after a stressful weekend of fires nearby, I started researching what I could put him on to help him. I decided on this to try and see if it would give him any relief from his symptoms and perhaps help him to look a little better than he was. I am happy to report his coat looks better, his attitude is infinitely better and back to his jolly old self, and overall he just seems to feel good. I see others have complained about the smell but he seems to love it (strong smells are good for him when he can't see where his food is!) and the humans at the barn all think it smells pretty good too!

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!
