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.
It has several functions; glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis and detoxification. 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.
The liver possesses amazing regenerative powers, and can heal itself if a part is removed. 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. 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. The disease causes the immune system to produce antibodies which affect the liver cells, causing blood flow to be restricted in the liver. Toxic compounds exacerbate the problem, and if left unchecked liver failure can result.
Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers are predisposed to this disease. Other serious illnesses that could affect the liver are cancer and hepatitis. Rest assured that most dogs will not suffer from these diseases, but there is a way to help prevent problems. 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. Denamarin is best used as an element in protective healthcare for your dog to help support the liver. Although it will not cure disease, Denamarin will help support good liver function which may help stave off disease and infection.
You need to choose the correct dosage for the size of your dog, it comes prepared for small, medium and large dogs. Manufactured in three strengths for different sizes of dog, Denamarin could be an inexpensive way to help protect your dog’s health and your wallet.
Doesn’t prevention make more sense than a cure?
