Without a functioning liver we would die, because of the many processes the liver does for the body.

This is the case of all animals, and death comes swiftly.

Of all the major organs in the body, the liver is physically the largest, and is instrumental in the body’s metabolism.

Of its many functions the ridding of toxins is one of the most important.

Clearly the liver is crucial to a healthy body, and its worth making extra effort to keep it healthy?

This is the case in all vertebrates, including dogs and cats.

Did you know that the liver can grow back if part is cut out?

But it needs to be healthy to do this, if it is not in a good environment it may cease working, and death will quickly follow.

Chronic disease can also afflict the liver. But let’s talk about dogs in particular and how their livers can be affected. Don’t forget too that the liver can be affected by disease.

Chronic Active Hepatitis in dogs can be compared to cirrhosis, the disease that affects many heavy drinkers. The causes are often unknown, but the target is the liver.

What happens is that a flood of antibodies are produced by the body and these affect the liver cells, making them tough and fibrous and therefore making it harder for the blood to feed the liver.

Toxic compounds exacerbate the problem, and if left unchecked liver failure can result.

Specific breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers often get this terrible disease.

Of course cancers and hepatitis can also take control of the liver.

Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs is an oral supplement designed to support liver function.

It contains S-Adenosylmethionine SAMe which stimulates glutathione production and silybin.

SAMe also prevents cell death in the liver and is thought to aid in the repair and regeneration of the liver.

Denamarin should be seen as part of a preventative health regime to protect the liver from illness and harm.

Don’t forget too that the liver is key in ridding the body of toxins so a healthy liver may in fact prevent disease elsewhere in the body.

Produced in doses suitable for small, medium and large dogs, Denamarin is a small expense that could end up saving you thousands of dollars and your dog’s life.

Who can put a price on that?
