The liver is key to our very survival, and performs incredible functions in the body.
Without liver function all animals die; and quickly.
The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body and it plays a significant role in the metabolism.
Think of it as a kind of storage / disposal unit, as it stores glycogen and gets rid of toxins and red blood cells.
Clearly the liver is crucial to a healthy body, and its worth making extra effort to keep it healthy?
The same goes for pets too, for that matter.
The liver is amazing organ, and can regenerate itself with extraordinary powers in a healthy body.
But only in a healthy body. In an unhealthy body the liver may well fail, leading to death.
Of course the liver is a target for disease in humans. Your pet can also contract diseases of the liver and other major organs. But let’s look at what could be in store for your pooch if his liver becomes unhealthy.
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.
What happens is that a flood of antibodies are produced by the body and these affect the liver cells, making them tough and fibrous and therefore making it harder for the blood to feed the liver.
Toxic compounds exacerbate the problem, and if left unchecked liver failure can result.
Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers are predisposed to this disease.
Other serious illnesses that could affect the liver are cancer and hepatitis. Rest assured that most dogs will not suffer from these diseases, but there is a way to help prevent problems.
Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs is an oral supplement designed to support liver function.
SAMe has the added bonus of providing protective and restorative effects on liver cells.
Denamarin is best used as an element in protective healthcare for your dog to help support the liver.
Denamarin should be seen as part of a preventative health regime to protect the liver from illness and harm.
Don’t forget too that the liver is key in ridding the body of toxins so a healthy liver may in fact prevent disease elsewhere in the body.
Produced in doses suitable for small, medium and large dogs, Denamarin is a small expense that could end up saving you thousands of dollars and your dog’s life.
Doesn’t prevention make more sense than a cure?
