Advice from Dr. Patricia Jordan, Veterinarian
The liver is essential for health, because it performs dozens of
different functions in the body, including clearing out toxins. Yet
liver disease (including cirrhosis) is one of the most common health
problems in older dogs. It can damage all functions of the dog’s liver,
with very harmful effects on their health.
Even dogs without liver disease may need support to detox prescription
medications, which are often damaging to the liver. 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. PetWellbeing'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.
