Milk thistle is often used as a supplement for dogs and cats because of its potential health benefits, particularly for liver support. It is commonly used to support liver health and may help treat conditions such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and liver damage caused by toxins or medications. Milk thistle may also aid in detoxification by promoting liver cell regeneration and improving the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body. Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could benefit pets with inflammatory diseases or conditions. The antioxidants in milk thistle may help fight free radicals in the body, potentially reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall health. We’ve packaged it in a recyclable jar with a small spoon for easy serving.
