Milk Thistle for Dogs Liver Support, Kidney Health & Detox Support, 120ct

Had my vet check my 2yr old boxer’s blood before a minor procedure, because I just felt something was wrong. She’s normally an extremely energetic (basically energizer bunny on coke) playful girl. I asked for bloodwork because as I told vet, “something’s wrong, she’s lethargic, acting like a normal calm dog” normal dog isn’t diagnostically helpful. But sun 2 years, I lost my 2 boxers (cardiomyopathy & cancer), one was after my vet’s former partner ignored my concerns about a mass on my boy, multiple appointments he called me overprotective, worry too much, need to relax, it’s nothing” since I have anxiety, I regrettably thought he must be right, it’s just me, he knows better than me. A month after my girl died, my boy was grieving beyond depressed, got him in with this vet- learned the other was gone. Unfortunately he knew I was right, said I know my boxers & about boxers health risks. 2yrs after removed, clear margins, he’d been great, it suddenly returned & he was gone weeks later. NOW, I am neurotic & My vet knows best to just check :). Her AST was almost 2x above normal & ATL (600+) more than 5x normal. For 2hrs he ran tests, I researched & ordered this plus milk thistle. After he suggested a medication (basically a mix of SAME & milk thistle), then laughed & wasn’t surprised- already ordered. My girl is 61lbs, but tiny to me, smallest of our boxers, not a big eater & very picky. started with 1 pill then 2, no side effects or stomach issues. Stayed at 2 pills at her follow up, AST was with in normal, not even near high! ALT was still 2x normal high at 225… but tremendous improvement & my mini-boxer gained 2lbs! Vet agreed go to 3. When her enzymes were rechecked she also got her allergy shot, they assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. Days later started sneezing, runny nose, & coughing. She HATES medicine, SAM-E included- with antibiotics & cough medicine 2-3x day, haven’t gotten her to take 3 pills of each too (I’m disabled, can’t wrestle a stubborn wiggly boxer to force her) she’s getting 1-3 a day whstever I can, while trying to get her in w/ a specialist. hope her levels haven’t shot up again. Aside from her other issues, this stuff works & fast! I was not a big believer in supplements, never did much for me. Yet, I started after my older girl tore her ACL/CCL, couldn’t have surgery due to her heart, & as is common tore her other side from overuse. I dove into crazy mom research, started supplements, despite her age, heart failing, still a stubborn hyper boxer who didn’t agree with rest, she recovered fully & quickly. So much more than anyone expected w/o surgery! I started my 100lb boy on them, despite his weight & being a bouncy wiggly active boxer- never had an issue with joints. I recommend these & supplements in general can be helpful- but still research & talk with vet.

UPDATE: pugs elevated ALT liver enzymes back in normal range after 2 months of using Chewable Liver & Kidney and SamE. Went from 295 ALT to 78. Plus we're started Prescription Ursodiol. Our pug was diagnosed with elevated ALT liver enzymes a couple years ago. First year ultrasound showed no concerns. Recently had a second ultrasound and it showed small amounts of Sludge in her Gallbladder. We've been feeder her a Prescription fresh food Hepatic Diet along with Denamarin Advanced Tablets. Recently Denamarin Advanced medium tablets were out of stocked. Couldn't find the Veterinarian only Advanced Denamarin. In my panic I started researching and found Coco and Luna. These two supplements so far has been amazing and very similar ingredients. Every morning I had to force down the Denamarin Advanced Tablets (yes they gave chewable but our pug, Luna would not eat) followed by a syringe of water. I tried everything to hide the small tablet but somehow she knew it was hidden. This was such a stressful event every single morning for the both of us with honestly little return on her ALT levels. I will never go back after finding Coco & Luna supplements. I get the Chewable Liver & Kidney plus the Chewable SAMe and give half in the morning and the other half before her dinner. I'm amazed that I just put in her dish and she eats like it's a great snack. No more stressful mornings and big savings in $$. Now I will know more if this is helping her levels or not the end of this month and will report back. Thank you Coco & Luna!!!

Brought my dog into the vet for a routine dental cleaning and bloodwork. Unfortunately, when the bloodwork results came back her liver enzyme levels were four times what they should be. My vet recommended trying a liver supplement, putting her on Denamarin (which is essentially a vet backed/prescribed liver supplement), and/or taking her to a specialist to get an ultrasound of her liver and kidneys done. I called the specialist to get a quote for how much the ultrasound would be and was unable to afford it, so I looked for the next best thing. I researched the ingredients and differences between Denamarin and over the counter liver supplements to try for her and found these Coco and Luna chewable tabs. The Coco and Luna supplements (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine + Milk Thistle) are much more affordable for me than Denamarin and work just as well. My baby girl is not super picky when it comes to treats and so she takes these with ease, but loves them! She actually starts drooling haha when I am opening up the jars to pour them out for her, she loves their taste so much! I took my girl back into the vet today to recheck her bloodwork and the vet says her liver values have gone down substantially and are back within normal ranges. (As I type this, I have only been giving her these supplements for a month and a half). NOTE: My girl is 75lbs and I give her two tabs of the S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine and two tabs of the Milk Thistle once a day in the mornings = total 4 tablets per day) and they have helped her tremendously. Based on the dosages I have been giving her, these two bottles will last me two months. Thank you again! I can't say enough how appreciative I am for companies like Coco and Luna for manufacturing affordable pet care products.

I bought the Milk Thistle for Dogs (120 Chewable Tablets with Silymarin) to provide essential liver and kidney support for our dog, particularly while they were undergoing a course of prednisone. Liver support is often recommended when dogs are on steroids, and we wanted to be proactive about protecting their health. The chewable tablets are a huge plus—our dog takes them easily mixed with their food, which is a major win for administering daily supplements. They seem palatable and haven't caused any digestive upset. During the treatment period, we didn't see any noticeable difference in our dog's general energy or behavior, but that's exactly what we wanted! Since Milk Thistle is a protective and supportive supplement, our goal wasn't to see a change, but to prevent problems. We assume it did what it was supposed to by offering protective support to the liver and kidneys, helping to mitigate the stress of the prednisone medication. It offered excellent peace of mind knowing we were doing everything we could to support our dog's internal organs during a tough period of medication. I highly recommend this supplement for pet owners looking for reliable Silymarin support for their dog's liver and kidney health.

My dog loves them

These tablets are easy to administer, as both my dogs likes to chew them. It kept my dog's liver and kidney functions well within normal levels

My 3 senior havanese don’t like these. They spit them out of the pill pockets even broken in fourths. I had to crush them to a powder and disguise it in canned food. I’m switching to a liquid.

Seems to work. Lab numbers going down

Item received powdery and the tablets changed color.
