What is CoQ10?
CoQ10 is a naturally occurring compound found in each cell in the body of dogs and all animals. CoQ10 plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the cell sections responsible for the production of energy in the form of ATP.
Why Canines need CoQ10
- Heart failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Canine heart attack prevention and recovery

In recent years, the importance of gut health associated with a well-balanced gut microflora has been recognized as a fundamental precondition for optimizing Canine nutrition and overall health. Especially in periods of stress – such as weaning, change of diet, antibiotic therapy, going to shows, new homes, natural disasters, etc. – a stable gut microflora is vital to protect the host against pathogenic invasions.
In view of the educated opposition of Dog owners and their desire to eliminate, antibiotic overuse in Canine, intensive research has been focused on the development of alternative strategies to maintain health and performance status in modern Canine husbandry.
The gut mucosa is the largest contact surface between the host and the environment, representing a potential entrance gate for pathogens to invade the body.
Healthy dogs are protected by against pathogenic invasion by a highly efficient immune system. In puppies, however the acquired immune system starts to develop quite slowly after birth, thus making the puppy susceptible to gastrointestinal infections.
Recently, it has been recognized that the gut-associated immune system can be can be modulated by nutritional means (Adams, 2001). Among others, bacterial cell wall fragments and algae extracts have been shown to assist in stimulating the immune system by activating macrophages and lymphocytes. In addition, strategic/targeted proteins, specific probiotic bacteria and phytogenic compounds originating from herbs and spices exert beneficial effects on the host immune system.
Immuno Guard™ has been seven years in development and research. Although the FDA does not recognize the terminology edible vaccines, or edible antibodies they do exist.
Immuno Guard™ through anecdotal evidence supports the immune system of mammalian species by assisting nutritionally to thwart the invasion of casual agents.
Immuno Guard™
- Causes faster phagocytosis
- Support NK cell activation
- Protects cells from apoptosis
- Protect live cells from oxidative damage

Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism) and or Addison’s disease (hypocortisolism) are common conditions in older dogs. These conditions are often mistaken for the natural aging process itself and results it in unnecessary death of our canine companions.
Our dogs get Cushing’s/Addison’s disease for any one or multiples of the following reasons:
- A pituitary tumor (the most common cause)
- An adrenal tumor
- Veterinary interference (usually prednisone)
The average canine patient is 10 years of age so if you find these symptoms early get it checked out. The most common symptoms are listed below:
- Increased/excessive water consumption
- Increased/excessive urination
- Urinary accidents in house trained dogs
- Increased/excessive appetite
- Appearance of food stealing/guarding
- Sagging, bloated, pot bellied appearance
- Bony, skull like appearance of the head
- General or hind leg weakness
- Symmetrically thinning of hair on torso
- Diabetes, pancreatitis, seizures
For thousands of years ancients used many of the ingredients in Cushing’s Crusher were used to combat and reverse these causal agents in all species. After 30 years of international research we have developed a nutritional support formula that has been reported to eliminate the condition all together. We cannot make such a blanket claim ourselves. We can assure you that Cushing’s Crusher will nutritionally aid in dealing with several of the symptoms. The all-natural ingredients in Cushing’s Crusher are: Chaste Tree Berry, Raspberry, Cayenne extract, Cinnamon extract, Origan extract, Gingko, Probiotics, d-Biotin, and Rice hulls.
