By helping the body filter out unnecessary or harmful particles, Milk Thistle provides many benefits, like providing extra support for the allergic dog, supporting skin health, and boosting the normal function of other vital organs like the kidneys, pancreas, and gallbladder.

If your veterinarian recommends a smaller dose of milk thistle, those dosages are often based on milk thistle concentrated extract. Our milk thistle is whole ground seed of milk thistle and because we use the whole seed, there’s 5x more volume of powder than concentrated extract. So, while our daily recommendations are higher, there’s still a comparable amount of active ingredient (3%) needed to be effective.
