CushAway is a nutritional supplement formulated to support dogs with symptoms associated with Cushing’s disease. It is not a prescription medication, and CushAway Inc. is not a veterinary clinic or medical provider.
The information provided on this website, including product descriptions, educational materials, and testimonials, is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Always consult your veterinarian before starting, changing, or combining any supplement or treatment plan for your pet. Each dog’s health condition is unique, and only a licensed veterinarian can determine the most appropriate course of care.
The recommended dosage of the CushAway nutritional supplement is one tablet per 30 pounds of the dog’s body weight. The tablets are conveniently scored and can be broken by hand in order to better adjust the dosage for your dog’s weight. Because the product contains melatonin, it is recommended that it be administered in the evening before meals
Always consult with your veterinarian before use.
Trilostane (Vetoryl) works in a similar fashion to CushAway in that it disrupts the chemical process through which cortisol is made. Research indicates that the active ingredients in CushAway — phosphatidylserine, melatonin, and HMR lignans — reduce the production of corticosteroids or help rapidly deplete them. Using just CushAway alone may be enough to achieve the desired effect in borderline and mild cases of Cushing’s disease, and in more severe cases may reduce your dependence on, or dosage of, Trilostane (Vetoryl).
A 1999 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association study revealed that more than 50% of specialists would not treat a dog with minimal clinical signs, largely due to concern over side effects such as an Addisonian crisis. CushAway’s all-natural ingredients carry a lower risk of serious side effects than either Trilostane or Mitotane.
Always consult with your veterinarian before use.
