Herbsmith Organic Milk Thistle for Dogs and Cats – Liver Supplement for Dogs & Cats – Made in USA – 150g Powder

Use this everyday for my 29lb French bulldog with epilepsy. One scoop twice a day with food to protect his liver from the crazy amount of medication he takes. Seems to enjoy the taste but he’s also not super picky. He’s been on it for over a year and his blood tests have been coming back very healthy. Will continue to buy this supplement and support this brand!

If you are buying Milk Thistle for your pup-dog, or kitty, there is obviously a problem... hopefully this will help. I cannot say for 100% sure the Milk Thistle is what did the job or if it's the only thing that did the job, but here's the story. Our 4 year old female Karelian got into some continuous loop carpet (twice) and had two surgeries within 6 months. (think of all the chems in the carpet and glue, the anesthetic, the antibiotics, etc etc) 35ft of carpet cord removed the first time, 25ft of carpet cord the second time. It was all through her stomach and intestines, so pretty significant surgeries both times. (needless to say the carpet is gone from our house!) After her second surgery, she just wasn't her spunky self and one month later she was vomiting and barely had the energy to get up and move around. Blood tests showed that her liver was "failing". Pancreas enzymes were just fine, but ALT and Lipase were through the roof. 817 and 4062 respectively. I think our little girl was pretty much poisoned and her liver was shot trying to process everything. We immediately went into rescue mode and after some research discovered that eggs/milk/bone broth are very easy to digest protein that is good for the liver, chicken/lean beef/white rice/vegetables - all home prepared and served in small quantities throughout the day- gives the liver a rest, turmeric (curcumin) aides in inflammation and pain management, and MILK THISTLE help heal the liver. I cannot testify to the quality of this Milk Thistle, I purchased because it had a standardized dose. However ... 30 days later and we just got her blood test back. Her liver is fully functioning and her enzymes are back to normal again. Way beyond our expectations. Quite probably it was all of the above : the diet, turmeric, and Milk Thistle, but I believe the diet and turmeric were supportive and Milk Thistle played the biggest "medicinal" role. The rest of her blood panel was normal, so neither the turmeric (curcumin) nor the milk thistle had any adverse effect. We've just received our second order and will keep her on it for a little while longer... not sure how long. The seller shipped fast too :)

Back in July my 9 year old chihuahua had elevated liver enzymes and I used Herbsmith Milk Thistle as a supplement to help aid in bringing her enzymes down. It helped a great deal, though I don't believe that this product alone helped bring down the levels alone because I did change her diet because anything she ate she was throwing up and so I had to put her on a special diet, she was also on prescribed antibiotics and had to have Sub Q fluids to flush any forming bacteria out and also to hydrate her. I'd recommend this product hands down though. I can't say that this product alone will fully cure your pet, you need to do your part as well. I do though believe that it can be a great supplement. I also want to add to please not neglect into taking your pet into getting their blood work done, even after seeing improvements. I did the mistake of not going back to the vets to make sure her enzymes were at a normal level and she got sick again. I was no longer using this product nor giving her the special diet anymore because she really had improved a great deal from July to October. I thought she was better, her jaundice was completely gone and she wasn't throwing up anymore. But her enzymes were still not at a normal level, but they did reduced down a great deal that she was able to heal, but just not completely. So we restarted her healing process again and so far so good.

Since this is the powdered version of Milk Thistle, it's easy to mix with food and get my dogs to take it! I had done a lot of research and read testimonials and other reviews of this product before I decided to try it. I'm very particular about what I give to my dogs and always research it to death first. Our pets are subjected to toxins on a regular basis just like we humans are. What I found was that supplementing with the herb milk thistle is an effective and safe therapy for pets suffering from nearly any type of liver problem. This particular brand had been suggested to me on several Facebook Pet Group pages so I decided that this was the one I wanted to try for my pets. According to my research before purchasing, Milk Thistle it also helps with other problems such as digestion (a big one for one of my dogs), gallstone prevention, recovery from canine parvovirus, poisoning from insecticides, pesticides and healing after vaccinations and more. If you do your research you will know why this is an excellent herb to give your dogs. Be sure and read the label about dosages and cautions.

I will recommend this product to anyone! I believe and feel in my gut that this product works! Took all my 7 cats to there veterinary appointments and they are all 100% healthy no issues! I started using this when I lost one of my cats this past year to liver failure the end stage. I didn’t know until it was to late! 😞😞 I will keep on buying this product!! This product does last me surprisingly a month or so! Money well spent! Thank you so much Amazon

This Milk Thistle supplement has proven to be a valuable component for my entire arsenal of medications and supplements which assist and control lover problems in older dogs. This product, in addition to Marin, and another supplement, recommend d by my vet. has considerably helped my 12 year old female Brittany . She was having issues with arthritis in her front legs, and just laying around looking miserable. I spoke with my vet. and a liver function test was performed. We discovered that her liver was not in very good condition, and the NSAID's we were giving we're not helping the problem. We began a treatment problem consisting of Danemarin, Marin, the product listed on this page, and completely dropped the NSAID's. Within about a week we began to notice that she was looking perkier, and moving around a bit more. As time passed, she seemed to become more of her old self, I was sceptical about using this supplement, as well as the Marin and Danemarin, it just seemed unlikely that they would work. She was just too old, and had too many issues with arthritis. However, this produc, along with a few others has made a remarkable difference. Instead of laying around looking miserable, she is becoming more and more active, even jumping up onto the side of the bed. This Herbsmith Milk Thistle has truly assisted my little fur girl, and I am forever grateful. I have since spoken with other dog owners who have had the same results when this product was used on their pet. I had never even heard of Milk Thistle before it was suggested by my vet., and now I am so very glad that. I overcame my cynicism. This is not a cheap product, and neither are the other supplements mentioned in this review. I am fortunate to only need this for a few dogs. but it seems to be working well with my dogs, with no discernible side effects. Their liver function test results continue to improve, and I am grateful to have access to these supplements, which remove the pained look of my older dogs as they try to stand, or to climb the stairs. I recommend Milk Thistle as a product that can assist some dogs in some cases. I do not believe that the brand makes much of a difference. It is best to buy from a thoroughly researched supplier, and to be certain that one is actually getting what has been ordered. The cheaper brands can possibly contain impurities, which must be avoided at all costs.

Great product to use if ones dog is taking any type of supplements or flea/tick. Helps the liver process toxins

I’ve been buying this for over a year for our dog after she was struggle with health issues and this helped her! She does not mind the taste (if any) and it’s easily mixed in her food twice a day. Shes had zero issues.

My dog suffers from Inflammatory bowel disease and food allergies. This product has helped to reduce her symptoms and frequency of attacks. I recommend it.
