What is Milk Thistle? Milk Thistle is a natural supplement, well-known for helping with liver disease in dogs, dogs and humans alike, and is gentle enough for long-term use. The active components in Milk Thistle are called silymarins. These constituents:
- Help protect against free radical damage
- Aid in stabilizing liver membranes
- Help support liver recovery
- Guard against toxins binding to the liver
- Milk Thistle also supports the production of new liver cells, helping to replace damaged cells. As anti-oxidants, silymarins are even more effective than vitamin E.
Milk Thistle provides beneficial support when being treated with:
- Antibiotics
- Corticosteroids
- Chemotherapy agents
- Conventional heartworm medication
Note: Some Milk Thistle sold in health stores is alcohol-based and should not be given to dogs. Pet Wellbeing Milk Thistle is glycerin-based and safe for dogs.

Healthy Nutrition Tip for Your Dog's Liver:
Processed foods stress your dog’s liver as it attempts to detoxify the preservatives and other additives like artificial flavors and colors. Go natural! Avoid grains and focus on healthy proteins from free-range, grass-fed animals. Green foods will help detoxify your canine's liver, such as those in Pet Wellbeing's SPARK. Expect your dog’s moods to be lifted as well! SPARK is a veterinarian-formulated, daily nutritional supplement for dogs of all ages. Remember! Milk Thistle must be glycerin-based to be safe for dogs. Do not give your dog any supplements that contain alcohol.

A healthy liver is important because it detoxifies any chemicals or pesticides our dogs may be exposed to, toxins in food they scavenge, and chemical prescription drugs. The liver 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 canines. It can damage all functions of the dog’s liver, with very harmful health effects. Even canines without liver disease may need support to metabolize and excrete prescription medications, which are often damaging to the liver.
Milk Thistle is an excellent way to support the liver in dealing with the toxic load of medications. Milk Thistle should be administered to every dog taking liver-taxing medications and especially if the liver is damaged or diseased. Milk Thistle is not contraindicated with conventional medications and is gentle enough for long-term use.
