Nutramax Denamarin for Medium Dogs, Liver Health Supplement with S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) plus Silybin, Liver Support for Dogs, Coated Tablets, 30 Count

It's a great product. It works very well but my dog got to where he wouldn't take it. No more. He wasn't feeling well and he's not doing very well so I wasn't forcing it on him. But the product is really good. There's nothing wrong with the product

Can’t recommend enough for liver health for your dog! I put them in a pill pocket and my dog loves them! This continues to help my pets lab work trend in the right direction. If your looking for something actually works this is it best value for the cost.

My dog had high liver enzymes. He takes one of these every day on an empty stomach. Bloodwork came back normal :) Only issue is the expense, but it is what it is.

Vetri-Liver and Denamarin is working!!! My story: Our dog is a 12ish Jack Russell mix. In August 2017, he was off. Not himself. Bloodwork and ultrasound showed he likely had Chronic Hepatitis. Put him on Denamarin. Bloodwork improved, but still not perfect. Had the vet do a dental thinking that the liver issues could be from bad teeth. They put him on a preventative antibiotic. 1 week after the Dental he spiked a 106 fever. He was ultimately put on IVs with a different antibiotic. Fever came down, felt better. Noticed that he had developed a licking issue after eating which was new. Fever slowly started to climb back upward. At 104 he was put back on IVs, taken off of all antibiotics in an attempt to get the bacteria to flourish and to isolate it. The only problem was that once he was off of the antibiotics his temperature went normal never to return. Eating throughout this has been difficult. Turning down filet mignon or whatever concoction I could come up with to tempt him to eat. I had pointed out to the vets (lots of them) that the antibiotics warned against liver and kidney issues. Everyone poo poo'd that. Well, it turns out that his liver couldn't process them. I took him home on Christmas Day from the vet hospital. They wanted to do a liver biopsy, but I rejected it. He already looked like warmed over death. Wasn't eating a thing in the hospital. They would have had to put him back on antibiotics. - And there was no clear indication that the liver was the origin of the problem, and could just be a secondary to another issue like heart disease (he does have a small heart murmur, but his heart is working sufficiently), cancer, etc. Even if we knew exactly what the liver diagnosis was, the treatment wouldn't be much different: Diet, supplements and potentially prednisone (which is hard on the liver as well - catch 22) At home, he was a new dog. He started eating. I researched every liver diet, and started with a very bland, home-cooked meal. I noticed that if I added a hi-end kibble to his diet, there would be more licking (licking surfaces like the carpeting). I read where compulsive licking is often intestinal distress. I'm not convinced that he also didn't have some kind of gastric issue, like gastric ulcers, or other intestinal issue, perhaps because of the liver or maybe even driving the liver problem. It is the end of April 2018, and he is doing well. I started him on Vetri-liver in the AM a couple of months ago with a breakfast of eggs, cottage cheese, oatmeal, rice, and chicken/turkey or beef). The Vetri-liver isn't extremely palatable, but I just cut it in pieces and put it in meat or cheese, and it will go down. Since I don't have a firm diagnosis for the liver problem, I looked for zinc and anti-oxidants to help the liver even if he had a copper retention problem. Zinc is supposed to offset copper in your diet. It also has some other supplements that he may need. Afternoon, he gets his Denamarin tablet (2 hours after the last meal) and 1 hour before dinner. Supposedly vegetable protein is better for dogs with liver disease. So I came up with some treats that also helped, especially in the beginning when getting him to eat was hard. I fill a turkey pan with: eggs, meat, carrots, sweet potatoes, tofu, wheat germ, peanut butter, coconut oil, and enough oats and a little bit of flour to make a cookie dough. The secret ingredient is a little bacon grease and bacon for palatability. Yes, bad, but makes the difference between this going down the hatch. These can be a mid-day snack, or actually a small meal if we are out hiking, etc. I bake them on cookie tins like brownies, cut them into squares, put them in baggies, and throw them in the freezer. This way they stay fresh. Dinner is rice/oatmeal/sweet potatoes/pumpkin or yams mixed with eggs/chicken/turkey/beef along with some well-processed veggies. I'm not convinced that I'm feeding a balanced diet, so I bought some senior dog vitamins that he gets periodically. Slowly the weight is coming back on. Exercise is important, because he is hungry after exercise. So a small walk in the morning before breakfast and walk before dinner really makes a difference with the pills and food going down. As long as he is eating soft, smaller meals, the compulsive licking has stopped. He is energetic, playing with toys, bright on his walks and back among the living. His liver enzymes are not perfect: ALT started at 275 (August 2017), went to 1,800 during the antibiotic reaction and spiked fever, back to 275 and now down to 253 most recently. ALP started at 263, 656 at its worst, and now at 167. I don't know if I will be successful in getting them to normal ranges, but if I look at his quality of life, it looks pretty good now. I wanted to share my story, because you don't hear often that antibiotics could almost kill your dog. And.....your dog can come back after refusing to eat anything after dire illness. Considering a backpack Trip!!

Great product, but i wish the delivery guy would read the instructions before knocking on the door. Its not that hard.

Liver blood work significantly improved on my senior dog with Lyme disease and other parasite treatments that affect the liver.

Denamarin kept our 15 year old cocker spaniel, Jonesy, going for over a year after he was diagnosed with liver disease and failure. After we put him on denamarin, the spots indicating liver disease disappeared from his forehead and he did not show any side effects from getting this supplement. The other option was to give him IVs at the Specialty clinic, which would have been very painful for him and expensive for us. Denamarin was the right choice. He passed away in January but not because his liver failed. Denamarin did its job. Thank you!

Product good but received the wrong size pill for my medium dog. Make sure to get the right dosage for the animal involved. Thanks!
