So much so that I was faced with the awful choice of continuing that medication, knowing that it was destroying their liver, but it was also keeping the dogs joints pain-free. Our Golden Retriever, who has MANY other problems, decided to have a completely blocked gall bladder. Denamarin Chewable Tablets should be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal for optimal absorption. It is recommended for pet owners to administer 3-6 cc of water immediately following any tablet administration to speed passage of the tablet into the stomach. However it is thought that Denamarin is more bio-available so more of the product is absorbed and used by the body.

The Silybin found in Denamarin has shown better absorption by dogs than the standardized milk thistle extract found in many other products. Denamarin combines a pure S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) with silybin to provide a one-two punch to keep your pets liver healthy. The SAMe in Denamarin has also been shown to help protect liver cells from cell death and may help with cell repair and regeneration. She has had one capsule of Denamarin every morning and she is also on special liver supporting diet.But for the dogs in the specific conditions that I have outlined, I have seen a definite difference in both the quality of life for the dog, as well as better liver readings on their blood tests.

The vet put her on steroids (2x2 a day) and another vet recommend the denamarins and I put her on CBD oil 5mg. Silybin also helps to regenerate liver cells and may enhance levels of glutathione, an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from toxins such as free radicals. We have five ranges of supplements for dogs, cats and rabbits that support common Gastrointestinal (GI/Digestive), Dermatology (skin), Urinary, Joint and Hepatic (liver) issues our pets may face throughout their lifetime. My 13 year old GSD presented at the Emergency vet very ill with liver enzymes literally off the chart.

We recommend an overnight fast to ensure the stomach is empty before administering the tablet, allowing the best absorption of the active ingredients. But outside of occasional bouts of diarrhea, he has not been clinical and living a fairly normal life for a now almost 13 year old blessing. Denamarin Tablets are a nutritional supplement containing the antioxidant Silybin used to improve your pet’s liver function by increasing liver glutathione levels. The active ingredients in Denamarin® have been shown to be well-tolerated by both dogs and cats with a wide margin of safety.

I can't fault the effectiveness of Denamarin because the repeat blood test results show an improvement to within the normal range. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

If your pet has a medical condition and is taking other medication, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to ensure that this supplement is safe to use. My beloved 13 year old dachshund had been acting very sluggish and tired for several months--I attributed it to the normal aging process. However, when an overnight fast is not possible, please allow 2 hours (ideally longer) after feeding before administering the tablets.
