Liver Support

Your pets’ liver is one of the busiest and most important organs in their body. Everything that enters our pet’s mouths is eventually filtered through their liver – keeping it healthy is very important!

The liver has many functions;

• It is considered a cleansing organism, since everything must be filtered through it before being released into the rest of the body to ensure that the body is rid of toxins.
• The liver aids in digesting fats
• Produces glycogen, energy storage
• It’s also responsible for protein production throughout the body.

You can help detoxify and keep the liver healthy by doing several things!

• Feed a species appropriate diet with minimal starches
• Feed meat proteins that are low in fat such as llama, elk, and rabbit
• Avoid feeding bones that are high in fat such as femurs or beef ribs
• Feed treats & food with “one protein” ingredients
• Adding leafy greens to your pets’ diet
• Giving supplements such as Apple Cider Vinegar & Turmeric (turmeric mixed with coconut oil so that the body can absorb it properly) help promote a healthy liver

Using the help of an herbal supplement to assist in a gentle detox of your pet’s liver can rejuvenate and boost your dog’s overall health!
