While some Milk Thistle sold in health stores is/can be alcohol-based and should not be given to dogs, Pet Wellbeing's Milk Thistle is glycerin-based and safe for dogs.
Milk Thistle must be glycerin-based to be safe for dogs. Do not give your dog any supplements that contain alcohol"
I found these above notations saved on my computer....My vet told me years ago do NOT give the formula from human health food stores because of the alcohol carrier....so I have used the formula specifically designed for dogs from PetWellbeing for many, many years. |
Thanks for the information!
