Game Changing Supplements
Gold Standard takes the guesswork out of healing your pet
Many supplements only treat single symptoms, so people have to use a lot of them. “Game Changing Supplements”, per leading holistic veterinarian Dr. Steve Marsden, address all the important mechanisms for a problem, making them the only supplement you often need.
To find our Game Changers we searched out are formulas used successfully for thousands of years, then figured out how you'd use them today. We made minimal changes to them, so they remain just as effective.
Despite their ancient origins, we understand our products in scientific terms. When your pet gets better with our supplements, you know why. You have the knowledge to stop the problem ever coming back.
Our Origin Story
Holistic veterinarians tease out the mechanisms behind chronic problems and then prescribe herbal formulas to address them. Famed holistic veterinarian Dr. Steve Marsden was donating his time doing just that for San Diego senior dog rescues a few years ago to try to reduce their vet bills. Senior dog rescuers have hearts of gold, taking in as many elderly homeless dogs as possible and getting them the care they need, but the costs of that care can be enormous. Dr. Steve reasoned that if he could use holistic medicine to save them money, rescuers would have more money to help homeless pets.
The top concerns of the rescues were allergies, GI upset, pancreatitis, lameness and stress. To treat them, Dr. Steve found he was always reaching for the same prescriptions. He decided to create versions tailored to the needs of the rescues, so they could use them without Dr. Steve’s help. The result was the vet bills were cut in half! (see Reviews, below).
Since many pet owners struggle with the same issues in their own pets, but don’t have access to a holistic veterinarian, it made sense to Dr. Steve to offer these same formulas directly to the general public. And just like that, Gold Standard was born. These formulas will never replace the need for holistic veterinarians, but if we can help even a fraction of the animals out there, we've done a lot of good in the world.
What's Inside?
Human-grade ingredients for pet peeves
We favour whole herb extracts, because studies show that the synergy among all the ingredients makes formulas more effective than selecting for just one or two of them.
All our herbs are grown from seed under optimal conditions to be harvested at the peak of quality.
At FDA-inspected and -registered facilities, they are decocted, dried and blended to our specifications using GMP practices.
The result is a collection of concentrated human-grade extracts, used for centuries in people, but now benefiting animals as well.
