ThorneVET Liver Support – Liver Support for Small Animals: Dogs & Cats, 90 Soft Chews

Thornes products are about the best I’ve seen. I’ve run a dog rescue for 25 years and this stuff works. It has a vinegar smell but the dogs still like it. The little bone shapes are easy for them to eat. They aren’t chewy but lightly crunchy and easy to crumble if need be. We use it when dogs need liver support and if they are going in for surgeries we use it for a week before and a week or two after so the liver won’t be taxed by the anesthesia. Always used it since we found it and always will.

I bought these when my dogs developed diarrhea after their required rabies vaccine. They're little guys (10 & 13 lbs) and smaller dogs tend to have more adverse reactions to vaccines. Presumably because the vaccine ingredients like adjuvants are not adjusted for dog size. Their diarrhea resolved within about a week and I've kept them on it. I went with this one vs other similar products because it's higher in glutathione. They don't love the taste so I bury it in their food and that seems to convince them to eat it.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. Not only would my cats not eat it, my husband took it to work (he works on a tv show and a lot of people bring their dogs to work because of the long hours away from home) and no one’s dog at work would eat these either! Quite surprising as I take two Thorne supplements myself. Total waste of $40, as these are non returnable. Smell like vinegar.

This helps decrease my dogs upset stomach (and vomiting). It's chewable. If your dog doesn't like the taste (mine doesn't) ask you vet for suggestions to get him or her to take it

Can always order it on line, sometimes my vet is out of it in her clinic. Helps him with his liver issues.

I've used other brands for liver support but Thorne is top quality so I thought I'd try it for my dog. However the odor is repulsive!

Pros: They are small/soft enough to break in half and hide in something else that my dog will actual eat. Cons: They stink really bad My dog wouldn’t touch them (I had to figure out a way to hide the stinky thing by breaking it into small enough pieces/wrapping it) I wish I could return, oh well.

My dog won't eat them. They must taste bad.
