PET SYMPTOMS
Liver is “the chemical factory” of the body; it has the main part in all processes of detoxification in the body and plays an important role in digestion (production of bile), blood clotting and vitamin absorption. If liver function is somehow compromised, due to overload of toxins, the animal’s overall condition will deteriorate, and general health will be jeopardized. There is a large number of diseases and conditions that can stop liver from functioning properly. The symptoms of liver failure usually include vomiting, loss of appetite with weight loss, changes in stool appearance and weakness. Advanced liver disease comes with more specific signs: jaundice, swollen abdomen, confusion and seizures. Laboratory tests upon veterinary examination will show impaired liver function.
PET AILMENTS
Numerous diseases, chemicals, drugs and toxins can damage the liver. There are certain viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases that can directly damage the liver, such as leptospirosis, heartworm infection or infectious canine hepatitis. Metastatic tumors and certain metabolic diseases (Cushing’s syndrome, diabetes mellitus) can also lead to liver failure. Numerous drugs can damage the liver, usually as a result of prolonged use and excessive dosage. Certain chemicals can also lead to liver toxicity, such as iron, arsenic, lead, etc. Plants like ragwort, certain mushrooms and mold contaminating food can also cause liver damage.

4. Are there other liver support supplements for pets available on the market?

HOW IT WORKS
Denamarin increases detoxifying properties of the liver. Its active ingredients, SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) and silybin work in synergy to help optimize liver’s structural integrity and its numerous functions. S-adenosylmethionine helps in protecting liver cells from damage and destruction, at the same time improving their power or reparation and regeneration. Silybin stimulates the flow of bile through the liver and improves the digestion, as well as liver’s detoxifying properties.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is best to administer the Denamarin chewable tablets at least 1 hour before a meal . The presence of food can decrease the absorption of SAMe. If the animal is reluctant to ingest the tablet, it can be given in a small portion of food.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
If the animal must receive more than one chewable tablet a day, the total number of daily tablets can be divided into two administrations during the day; morning and evening.

BRAND VS. GENERIC COMPARISON
Denamarin is the only high quality liver supportive pet supplement on the market and the only one providing optimal levels of both SAMe and silybin for dogs and cats. There are certain over-the-counter products that provide the same active ingredients as Denamarin, but not in same concentrations. They are not as efficient as Denamarin, but they may be somewhat cheaper Denamarin and can appear in different packages.
