I don't like Denamarin because, although I like Denosyl, Marin does contain liver and yeast. This may be okay for some liver compromised dogs but these ingredients aren't tolerated well by others. I would rather give Denosyl or Vetri DMG and human milk thistle or Hepatosupport.
You can supplement with vit e and b if you want. I am not right now.
One time throwing up wouldn't lead me to believe that protocol needs to be changed...only if it keeps happening.
We use CET vanilla-mint toothpaste from entirelypets.com. That is a cheap place to buy Denosyl also but I think we are switching to Vetri DMG. |
Just one thing to add. If you decide not to give Denamarin or Marin and give plain milk thistle, you do need to add vitamin E.
I switched from milk thistle to Marin after a member on another forum whose Maltese is a patient of Dr. Tobias said she recommended it. According to Dr. Tobias, without the Vitamin E, you don't get the same benefits from Milk Thistle. I haven't had any problem with the slight amount of liver in Marin and it's easier for me to give it in one pill.
