Liver Defense connects liver support with digestion. Milk thistle seed supports liver cells and normal antioxidant defenses, while dandelion root and leaf add support for bile production and elimination. Bile helps the body digest fats, explaining why the two herbs are paired in this formula.

The two certified-organic herbs provide a focused way to support the liver’s everyday work, normal detoxification and healthy digestion together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Liver Defense pairs milk thistle with dandelion root and leaf for liver function, bile production and normal elimination support. Milk Thistle Tonic is a single-herb preparation with a different concentration and alcohol base. Their serving amounts are not interchangeable.

Best if administered directly into mouth or combine with your pet’s regular routine, up to twice daily. Shake well before using. Administer during or after eating. Use the species- and weight-based amount in the dosing chart.

Liver Defense may be given up to twice daily. Discuss the length of use with your veterinarian, especially if your pet has a diagnosed condition or takes medication.

Every pet’s needs are different. Watch for changes in appetite, energy and digestive comfort, and review progress with your veterinarian when Liver Defense is part of a medical care plan. If your pet’s condition worsens or does not improve, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Certified organic milk thistle seed and dandelion root and leaf extracts, 250 mg combined per 1 mL. Individual herb amounts are not disclosed on the label.

A tincture is a liquid herbal extract. Animal Essentials uses “herbal tonic” for this two-herb, ethanol-containing supplement.

It forms part of the liquid base and supports extraction and preservation of appropriate herbal constituents.

Yes. Liver Defense contains grain alcohol USP, along with distilled water and vegetable glycerin USP. Alcohol is part of this formula’s extraction base.

No artificial flavoring is added. The naturally sweet taste comes primarily from vegetable glycerin and the herbs themselves.

Alcohol helps extract plant compounds that do not dissolve readily in water. Liver Defense uses grain alcohol alongside distilled water and vegetable glycerin in its liquid base.

Ask your veterinarian to review the full combination, especially for medication or diagnosed liver and biliary concerns. Milk thistle and dandelion may already be present in other formulas; avoid automatically stacking liver products.

Great Natural Liquid product

We are using this for our still spunky14 year old dog. The vet. said our dog's liver enzymes were elevated so we wanted to correct that and keep him healthy. Our dog is very fussy about taking pills (almost impossible). The liquid works well and we put it right in his 1/2 can of food morning and evening. He gobbles it right up so it must taste good. The liver enzymes have been coming down. I like it cause it's natural so we don't worry about side effects from a chemical. Also, we checked other websites and found Amazon to be the least expensive. We order several bottles so the shipping charges are reasonable (about the same whether ordering one or four bottles)

Great taste according to my dog lol

My dog likes the taste and it even helped him to eat all of his food. Sometimes we have to put chicken so he can finish his food as he can get picky and tired is the same thing . He eats farmer’s dog wet food and still gets picky. This has always helped him with energy as I see him less lethargic and tired than when he doesn’t take it for some period of time.Sluggish overly taxed liver can cause a lot of lethargy and he takes meds for pain and thyroid. Helping my senior dog with his major detox organ has helped him tremendously .
