| Nest time you might want to switch to Marin. It is what Dr. Center of Cornell, one of the top liver experts, recommends. It is supposedly the most effective formulation. I have had Lady on milk thistle for over six years with great results, but switched her to Marin recently. Entirely Pets carries it and it's very reasonable. You quarter the tablets for our little dogs, so a bottle lasts for four months. http://www.entirelypets.com/marindog.html |

| I personally prefer regular milk thistle for Miko instead of Marin for several reasons. One of them is that the Marin doesn't contain enough Vit E for a liver compromised dog. So, I give milk thistle and vitamin E separately.

I use a pill cutter. You can get them at any pharmacy. They have a razor blade so they give a sharper cut. It's still a pain to quarter them, though! | |
