Without a functioning liver we would die, because of the many processes the liver does for the body. If the liver fails in any animal, the end will be soon. Of all the major organs in the body, the liver is physically the largest, and is instrumental in the body's metabolism. Think of it as a kind of storage / disposal unit, as it stores glycogen and gets rid of toxins and red blood cells. In this way it's obvious why the liver plays such an important role in the functioning of the body, hence the priority should be trying to keep it healthy. This is the case in all vertebrates, including dogs and cats. Did you know that the liver can grow back if part is cut out? 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. Dogs can suffer from a disease similar to cirrhosis, which is known as Chronic Active Hepatitis. It is not known what sparks this disease off but the effects on the liver can be devastating. 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. Specific breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers often get this terrible disease. Of course cancers and hepatitis can also take control of the liver. 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. Glutathione is an antioxidant to be reckoned with, and SAMe helps nourish, renew and stop liver cells from dying. 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?
