Dr. Mercola Liver & Kidney Support Dog & Cat Supplement, 1.7-oz jar

I got this for my 16 year old doxie with kidney issues in addition to his kidney diet. It works great and I do recommend mixing it with either yogurt or something else as the taste must be bitter. My dog will not eat it by himself or even atop his food. But it is worth the trouble as it has improved his energy and urine retention. If you’re looking for something natural and non-prescription, this is it.

My dog is 11 years old and I give this to her to support her kidney. The ingredients in this are great and seem super healthy! I only wish it came in a tablet or chew format. I was surprised to take off the seal to see that the powder itself is dark brown (the color of potting soil). It makes quite a mess on my dog’s muzzle fur. I have to immediately clean her mouth with a wet wipe after she eats her meal, since it literally looks like she went shoving her face into a garden! Just a forewarning, especially for dogs and cats with long/light-colored hair. She noticed the difference in her food with the powder on top right away.

As other reviewers have said, it definitely smells, but not by a repulsive amount. Thankfully, she’s a good girl and still eats everything, just more slowly and carefully than she would without the powder. My outer packaging must be an older one (expires next year) because it looks different from the updated profile picture. Thus, I’m not sure if the powder color inside changed. I did have identical issues with another Dr. Mercola product (for vision health) in terms of messiness. The powder was light purple, but I guess light purple is a tiny bit easier to clean than dark brown. In conclusion, Dr. Mercola has excellent pet products with positive results; I only wish that they came in non-powder forms. Sometimes, you buy things to help your dog’s health, even if it means taking the extra steps to clean their faces and bowls more thoroughly. Truthfully, after she finishes this, I won’t buy any additional Dr. Mercola POWDER products. However, I’m happy to try their non-powder supplements for the sake of my beloved senior dog. … more

Good results in only 3 days. I mix it in her food. She's an elder cat and was having some liver problems with handling the hot, humid weather.

Unfortunately I couldn't make any of my cats eat this, no matter what food I mixed it in. It has very 'herbaly' scent. It is finely grounded powder of milk whistle, chlorella, dandelion, knotweed, green tea. Which all sound great, just not for the cats, I guess. I'd expect something like that in a supplement for humans.

I have been reading Dr. Mercola's enewsletter for years. I never even knew that he made animal supplements. So when I stumbled across this product, I knew it would be good quality. My 15 yo dog is in the beginning stage of kidney problems. She was drinking tons of water, and had become such a picky eater. I thought in the first week of giving this product to Mindy that it might be helping. But after the second week I KNEW it was helping. Now she has been on the supplement for three weeks. She is no longer drinking tons of water, and she has a great appetite back. She is more energetic, and is running around the house again. She's is barking again at cats and squirrels (which we are happy to hear I have been reading Dr. Mercola's enewsletter for years. I never even knew that he made animal supplements.

I tried for 3 days to get my cat to eat food with this in it with no luck. Even human tuna fish but no luck. Vet said don’t withhold food. We are trying pills now.

I bought this product based on reviews from other customers who have used it. I have 3 senior cats who are experiencing mild to medium renal problems and I'm hoping that this will help them. I mix it in their morning canned food and they eat it with no problem. I have only been using it for a little over a week and hope that when they go back to the vet in a month or two their blood work levels will have improved. This product contains NAC, N-Acetyl Cysteine, which I know can help humans with renal problems. I have done quite a bit of research on the Internet and found through reputable websites that it can also help kitties.

I have been giving my 18-year-old cat just a small pinch of this formula for only a week I am noticing her walking around much more and even wanting to go outside. Something she hasn't wanted to do for months. She likes the taste too. She has had kidney problems in the past but this is giving me hopes that it could help her quality of life.

My beautiful 120# GSD boy has idiopathic epilepsy, he's on phenobarbital (hard on liver) and Keppra (hard on kidneys). He's been on meds and the Mercola Liver & Kidney Support for just over two years. Bcs of his size & need for seizure activity control he takes high milligram dosage of ea med. Our vet says that both of his organ values are excellent every time he's tested, (reg every 6 mos) but she also tests him when he's there on an emergency with clusters we can't control at home. I am very grateful for this product as it's so much more/better than just giving milk thistle. My boy is also raw fed, reg store bought meats (with ucky organ parts), no chicken except necks when I need more My beautiful 120# GSD boy has idiopathic epilepsy, he's on phenobarbital (hard on liver) and Keppra (hard on kidneys).

Minimal chix (it seems to make him itchy) and off kibble (makes him VERY itchy, he'd ruin himself scratching). I believe the raw dense quality nutrients plus supplements (I also use other Mercola products among a few other manufacturers) have helped him immensely as this is a devastating disease. … more

My 14 year old dog had been treated for an ear infection, then an eye infection. Even after treatment, she kept scratching her ears and the drainage from her eyes never went away. After some research I discovered that those two things can be a sign of a stressed or diseased liver. Within a few days of starting this liver support supplement, along with mercolas probiotics and digestive enzyme supplements, her ear scratching and eye drainage went away. To be fair, it maybe have been the probiotics or a combination that worked, but gut health is so important I highly recommend all three.
