THIS WORKS! Please give it a try!I normally don't ever write reviews this long, but this is a must!!!Long story short, my 14 year old Chihuahua mix who has a tiny heart murmur, but has never had any issues with her liver, had a blood test back in November 2024 to check how she was doing, and to our surprise her liver enzymes WERE SUPER HIGH...i mean in the 1,600 range. After the vet nurse called me to give me the results, she let me know that the vet was highly suggesting i take her to the ER. I let her know that she didn't seem to be in discomfort and seemed pretty fine, so I would hold off on taking her to the vet, especially because I didn't have the financial means to do so.Hence, I had noticed a lot of peeing and lots of water intake, but nothing too alarming. What bothered me however, is that instead of them providing a suggestion for the time being, they are extremely quick to refer to the most expensive option, which for some people its financially okay, but not for the majority.I had to go out of my way and ask them if they had a suggestion in the meantime or any medication i can try to give her to see if that helped. They put me on hold and the vet prescribed me Denamarin. When I went to go pick them up, they were the size of a nickel, almost close to a quarter size. I was instructed to give her half AND NOT CRUSH IT, but there was no way she was going to eat it, especially because she's extremely picky. I tried researching on other alternatives and ordered a box of Nutramax Denamarin Liver Health Supplement for Small Dogs and Cats - with S-Adenosylmethionine (Same) and Silybin, 30 Tablets.She's roughly about 13 pounds and since the "small" option is up to 12 pounds, I would give her 2 blue pills. One in the morning and one in the evening. They were the size of a small advil and could easily be wrapped in a small piece of chicken. I would give it to her 1 hr before her actual meal.I know that it states to be given on an empty stomach, but putting it in a piece of chicken was fine, no issue. After a few days, they wanted me to go back within a week to get more blood tests done, but i waited a few months instead because what was the point of going so soon. I was just going to pay the $220 fee and nothing was going to change within i week -__- ....its common sense to be honest lol.After researching even more, I noticed one user say that they tried a combination of the Denamarin with Milk Thistle drops. I purchased this brand towards the end of November 2024 as well, and was adding it to her food after the 1 hr mark had passed of giving her the Denamarin.After a month passed by, i started to notice that she was not peeing as much as she use to and the water intake normalized. However, she kept having diarrhea. I was concerned that probably the liver enzymes were still very high, which was the cause of the diarrhea. However, towards the beginning of January 2025, i stopped giving her the Denamarin and was only giving her the milk thistle drops.The diarrhea seemed to have stopped and not only did her water intake normalize, but also her peeing.I decided to take her for an updated blood test on February 17th and got the results back on February 20th.HER LIVER ENZYMES SHOWED THEY HAD GONE DOWN FROM 1, 688 TO 133. Still a bit over the number window by like 4 numbers, BUT IT WAS AN ENORMOUS PROGRESS. I WAS SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL!I had a follow up with the vet who was also stunned about the results and when i told her i was giving her milk thistle drops, you could tell she was not as excited (same issue when you mention to doctors about natural supplements).I honestly don't care what she thought, results were there and IT WORKS.I'm not a professional of any sorts, but i try to research as much as possible and try things that can help my fur baby, and I'm thankful I did. If you have a fur baby that may have liver enzymes as high as mine and you don't have the financial means to go to the ER vet, please give the combination of Milk thistle and Denamarin. Obviously if you see that one of the products may be causing issues, then stop immediate use. But you don't lose anything with giving it a try! Even if it's just the milk thistle drops! :""""D

I bought this product in November after my Jack Russell terrier was diagnosed with elevated liver count levels. Sadly he was put to sleep eight weeks later. This product is not a miracle drug and will not care a dog with the damage, but what I did was buying us a few more weeks With our beloved Boy❤️.If I ever have the courage to own another pet, I will make this part of his daily supplement. Product was delivered very quickly and very easy to apply over his food or just drops in the mouth.

This absolutely worked for my dog and lowered his liver values; I was so excited. Except the recent order’s liquid looked very different so I hope they didn’t change the formula, especially in a way that is leas effective.

Loved that there is a reasonable amount for the money and that it doesn't smell like milk thistle which smell gross. It is great for dogs with liver issues.

Been using Milk Thistle on my dog with liver issues for almost 15 years. I've used many pet wellbeing products over the years and still do currently. Great products, easy to use, dogs are good with it mixed into their food or put directly into their mouths. Love all of the products.

Over the years my dog has had fluctuating liver values and as she has got older (almost 13 yrs old), her values have been on the high side. A couple of years ago her liver values were considerably higher than previous years so I put her on this milk thistle, switched her food to lower fat variety (she’s been on raw since a puppy) and had her retested two or three weeks later and her liver values were normal. Going forward from 2 yrs ago, I have supplemented her food with Milk Thistle when she’s on a higher fat content meal for a couple of weeks, like beef. She had a blood just recently, December 23, 2021 and her liver values were normal. I started off with a small bottle of this brand that I purchased at a pet store and since Amazon has it in the large size (and cheaper to buy the large size) I’ve purchased a couple of large bottles so far on Amazon. Don’t know if it will work for your dog but it seems to work for mine. I have spoken to a few vets over these last few years and they do recommend milk thistle for high liver values. If you want to try it, maybe purchase a small bottle first to see if it helps your pet.

This product works , my 14 year old Cavoodle has cancer which is affecting his liver , with in a week of Max starting the Milk Thistle I noticed a big difference in him , his fits decreased, he was more active and the most important think he was way more happier, Its not going to cure his cancer but it will definitely help his symptoms and help his liver cope with the medication he has been started on to treat his cancer .He is my soul mate , and I recommend this product .

I was told our dog had high enzymes levels after taking him to our local vet , after a bit of research found milk thistle helps cats and dogs with liver toxins, so we had a choice to either try a natural approach or look at having him put to sleep , I was not going to allow such a strong decision to put him to sleep. So second opinion from another vet , and they seem to think it’s an infection so antibiotics helped with the infection, the second vet did agree his enzyme level was high and they could put him on a table but will be for life I spoke with the vet about the research on milk thistle and she agreed there is good results been heard about it , so after two weeks of antibiotics for infection and two weeks of milk thistle, his results are in the normal range . This product works for us and have and will recommend it to anyone to try it.

My 13-year old black lab was diagnosed with liver dysfunction/disease/toxicity in late 2017. We've been giving her Denamarin tablets every day since. In January this year, the vet again ran more tests and said her liver issues are "off the chart" bad and she may have a month left (plus, my baby lost 12 lbs in five months). Knowing I'm not going to let her suffer while at the same time I'll be crushed when she's gone, I did some research and came across the possible usefulness of Milk Thistle. I decided to give it a try. In early February, the vet re-ran the tests and, while she's still "off the charts" and did lose one more pound, there was improvement in all of her liver function numbers. Plus, I'm seeing more energy and more life back in my furbaby and her appetite is returning. As long as my baby wants to play and has an appetite, I'm calling this product a WIN.UPDATE 4/19/2019: took my baby to the vet today for her annual shots and re-run her liver values. The vet is truly amazed at my baby's #s. She's still on the wrong side of normal but her #s are definitely improving. She is still losing a little weight but she does definitely eat better and she feels better. The vet does firmly believe my baby has cancer of some kind but mentioned how good she looks overall...even though she's lost another pound since February. As long as my baby wants to eat, wants to play, and chases the cat, I'd say she's still got life left to live.Update #2 1/25/2020: Boo's liver #s are dramatically improved. The vet is amazed and how much her liver function has improved. Unfortunately, a byproduct of poor liver function is Hepatocutaneous syndrome which has caused a very bad skin condition and is most likely fatal. We're still giving her this Milk Thistle to keep her liver #s improving and keep her feeling OK internally. I'm glad we found this product and that it worked as great as it has; otherwise, I don't think my baby would still be with us this year.
