Nutramax Denamarin Chewable Tablets Liver Supplement for Dogs
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
When liver function is compromised, the exact cause can often be difficult to determine. Supporting the liver, regardless of the cause, is essential to keep it working properly. Administering SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine), which is found in Denamarin, has been shown to markedly increase liver levels of glutathione, an important compound for liver health formed when SAMe is metabolized. The SAMe in Denamarin has also been shown to help protect liver cells from cell death and may help cell repair and regeneration. Denamarin also helps support your dog's liver through the administration of silybin. Silybin is an active part of an extract from milk thistle, known as silymarin, and has been shown to support liver function by helping maintain a healthy oxidative balance. Denamarin Chewable Tablets allow dogs to receive SAMe and silybin in a tasty treat, eliminating the need to "pill" your dog daily. Additionally, the chewable tablets allow for quicker uptake of the SAMe and less variability between dogs when compared to enteric-coated tablets.
While best known for supporting the liver in dogs, Denamarin also has a place in supporting brain health. Denamarin provides SAMe in a stabilized form to help with brain health and act as a neuroprotector. Denamarin also provides a bioavailable form of silybin which supports oxidative balance.

Too Smart for his own good
By Tinker on Jul 29, 2021
I had been using the tablet form and thought this would be much easier. Wrong! I have a very smart little Sheltie. Looks to be a great idea but my little Sheltie was not going to take it. I had to finally break it up and put it in a pill pocket. My little Tinker then managed to find it and eat the pill pocket, leaving the chewable. This appears to be a good product, but just be careful as your dog may do what mine did.

Initially Hated Chewable Tablets Now Loves New Treat
By CocoaMom on Jun 18, 2021
Initially Cocoa would not chew tablets. I tried crushing and mixing with 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter or jelly and she refused them. The instructions are to take on an empty stomach due to absorption of the medication is reduced with food. I give Cocoa 2 1/2 tablets with total of 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter. The tablets are scored and about the size of a quarter. I break the whole tablets in half and dip the end of each piece in peanut butter and she takes them like a treat. It's easier than placing a tablet in the back of her throat.

picky pugzu will take with peanut butter
By supplement1 on May 26, 2021
my pug/shih tzu mix is a very picky eater and i struggle every month getting him to take the heart worm pill. this pill he takes wrapped in peanut butter every day. some days he needs it pushed gently into the side/back of his mouth. most days he takes it right off my finger with it wrapped in smooth peanut butter. others have reviewed problems, but my vet recommended the chewable version and it has been successful for me. the challenge is that it has been out of stock for awhile. i dont know yet if it has lowered his high liver enzyme level yet. i will continue to purchase.

Great find
By DonnaF on May 22, 2021
My dog has been on liver supplements for years. Until recently, it was a chewable tablet that I got from the vet. Then they said it wasn’t being made any more and switched to a hard tablet that did not crush or dissolve easily, so I had to force it down her throat every day. Not fun for her or me. I was looking for an alternative and found this. I carefully checked the ingredients, and they are exactly the same as what she had been taking. Now she thinks I’m giving her a treat and no more struggle to get that tablet in her.

Horrible, horrible HORRIBLE!!
By Vince on May 4, 2021
My 16 year old labradoodle has been taking the non chewable version of these for years with no problems. I had to get the chewable ones because the regular was back ordered...what a complete waste of money. My dog will not go near them. They must have an awful taste or smell associated with them because both of those senses are disabled in him and he still will not take them. I’ve tried hiding in his food or wrapping in a pill pocket but he eats everything except the pill. Don’t waste your money on these pills. I had to give it one star to give review otherwise I would have not given any!

Didn't work for my dog
By Vvvv on May 6, 2021 top1000Contributor
I bought these supplements at the recommendation of my vet for my 13+ year old dog who has irregularly high liver values. Unfortunately, though she did take these as prescribed, they did not lower her liver values, and we switched to an Ursodiol prescription, which did lower her liver values. I don't think that Denamarin doesn't work; I just think that it works for some dogs and not others, depending on what the underlying health issue is. I would certainly recommend trying them!

Won’t buy these again.
By StubbornShihTzumom on May 20, 2021
Extremely disappointed with these tablets. My dog refuses to eat them even after disguising them with other food, including people food. I need to crush them before trying to get her to eat and it is very frustrating. Just bought a bottle of 75 so not sure if they have helped her or not. I dread giving her these tablets but now have $80 invested in them.

Large and very hard to chew
By Harlan on May 22, 2021
Bought chewable version because the blue pill version was not available. This chewable tablet was too large and too hard for him to chew. Denamarin had shown a significant improvement in our older dogs daily life. Vet had recommended. Gave the Blue pill with a bit of a Kraft cheese slice. Would not recommend this chewable tablet.

Strike two
By Gidda on May 20, 2021
It's no one's fault, but our dog will not eat these as she does her other supplements. Since we had had difficulty getting our girl to take the Denamarin pills when we ground them up and mixed them with peanut butter (she liked this at first), we thought that the chewable pills were the solution, but alas, they are not.

not a chewable
By byington on Jun 3, 2021
denimarin is a very good supplement for dogs with liver issues , but i need a very soft chewable or a powder to give my almost toothless shitzue, btw the price for these tabs is outrageous but its what the vet wants her on for the rest of her life
