We don’t need to tell you the liver is one of the most important organs in the body and also one of the most extraordinary.

Without liver function all animals die; and quickly.

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

Think of it as a kind of storage / disposal unit, as it stores glycogen and gets rid of toxins and red blood cells.

Hence you can see why the liver is essential for survival, and it needs to be healthy in order to function well and do the job it was meant to do.

The same goes for pets too, for that matter.

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

But only in a healthy body. In an unhealthy body the liver may well fail, leading to death.

Don’t forget too that the liver can be affected by disease. Let’s take a look specifically at dog diseases.

Firstly there’s Chronic Active Hepatitis Dogs, somewhat similar to cirrhosis of the liver but of course not caused by alcohol. The causes are often unclear, but the site is always 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.

When the liver tries to process toxins it cannot and this makes the problem worse, eventually leading to failure.

If you have Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers you should keep an eye open for signs of this illness as they are prone to it.

Other diseases which can affect the liver are cancer and hepatitis.

Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs has been specially formulated to stimulate healthy liver processes by encouraging the production of a powerful antioxidant, glutathione.

It contains S-Adenosylmethionine SAMe and silybin, the former of which increases levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.

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

Although it will not cure disease, Denamarin will help support good liver function which may help stave off disease and infection.

In this way the functioning of the liver will help the body get rid of toxins therefore reducing the chance of disease.

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?
