Saw Palmetto

[MonsterDad]

I am curious what the vets think about this herb to treat an enlarged prostate.

I'd imagine they would say "no extensive studies have been done on k9's. Human trials are inconclusive, but if you want to use it, use human grade."

Supplements for dogs seem to be more to please the human for their bad breeding.

This is very common in an 8 year old intact male. He hasn't had as much as an ear infection in 8 years.

As in enlarged prostate in 8yo intact males?

Are you having an issue with one of your dogs?

Clinical trials on dogs would be great, but isn't going to happen. All you can do is use it yourself.
