Pet Wellbeing - Liquid Milk Thistle for Dogs - A Natural, Herbal Supplement for Liver Disease - 2 oz Bottle
Milk Thistle is an excellent way for the liver to deal with this toxic load of medications. It is not contraindicated to any conventional medication and it is gentle enough for long-term use. While the Milk Thistle sold in health stores is usually alcohol based and should not be given to dogs, Pet Wellbeing's Canine Milk Thistle is glycerine-based and safe for dogs. Milk Thistle should be administered to every dog taking liver taxing medications and especially if the liver is damaged or diseased. The active ingredients in Canine Milk Thistle are known collectively as silymarin. These ingredients help maintain the health of your dog's liver, scavenge for harmful free radicals, help guard against toxins trying to bind to the dog?s liver, support the stability of liver membranes, Milk Thistle provides excellent health support when your dog isn't feeling well, to support his liver and help his recovery. As an anti-oxidant, silymarin is even more effective than vitamin E. It also helps support the production of new liver cells in dogs. Milk Thistle is a especially useful health support when your dog is being treated with things like anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) and corticosteroids (Prednisone), chemotherapy drugs, Cyclosporine (Atopica), Actigal, Imuran (Anathioprine), Phenobarbital for seizures, trimethoprim/sulfa antibiotics and daily heartworm medications. An all natural herbal product, milk thistle is gentle enough for long-term use.
