Nutramax Denamarin Tablets for Cats & Small Dogs, 30 count

Our 13 year old Chihuahua was having liver issues so the Vet suggested we try giving her Denamarin. After just 30 days we saw improvement based on the blood work. The Vet was charging us $40 for a month supply. Chewy.com has the same exact drug for $25. We will continue buying Denamarin from Chewy.com. That equates to an annual savings of $180. I highly recommend to all to check prices at Chewy.com before paying exorbitant prices to a vet.

This stuff works. I just started one of my yorkies on it last Monday 6/18 because the vet said his liver was a little eiavated. Mind you he’s in his pre early stages of kidney disease and stable. He got a urine test 6/19 Tuesday morning. Mind you he has be having Urine test results saying he had protein in his Urine. So Tuesday morning we go. Well I’m not sure if this thing is magic but I got a call from his vet today. Great urine test results and no more protein in his urine. Please keep giving to him till finish and bring to retest bloods. Wow so far so good. I do have to warn you, he did throw up 24 hours within taking the 2nd pill and he has a little diarrhea.

So it is a side effect that goes away after a week or so. I give him the endosyrum probiotic and it helps big time. I’m glad he’s still on it and with a piece of roast beef, very small, low sodium, rolled up... he’s loving it. Lol. So far so good. Should he need this for life term I’m definitely buying it through chewy cause at the vet it is expensive!!! … more

My male cat had his liver counts go up quickly. This medication was recommended by my vet. His numbers have come down, not as low as we had hoped, but he is stable. I do not know if this medication has helped him directly, but we have agreed that anything that will support his liver is a good thing. It has to be given 6 hours after last meal and he cannot eat for an hour afterward, so you do have to be mindful of that. I have talked to the company and they stated that putting the pill in a pill pocket was fine. That makes it easy and he thinks he is getting a treat!

I am so happy that my cat, Sophia, seems not to mind getting these pills every day. At first, she used to hide, but now, if I sit down, she comes up to me, and waits for the pill. The price is very good, as well. It seems to be protecting Sophia from adverse affects of chemo.

My 15 yo male cat Mel had very high liver count on his blood work. Testing was done to determine what the cause was. It was recommended he take Denamarin. A cause was not found for his highend blood, but after 2 + months of Denamarin his levels have returned to normal.

I'm hoping I can updated this with great news and 5 stars, but it's too soon to tell. My cat has been in liver failure (most likely cholangeohepatitis)and had been slowly decompensating over the past year. That's despite several prescription meds. I know nothing is going to stop the disease, but after the last vet visit, I thought it was goodbye time. Her bilirubin went from 4.5 to 9 :( She also started to look disheveled, weak...and yellow. I didn't want to pill her, and to be honest we follow up with food though its recommended on an empty stomach..BUT...after about three weeks, she started purring more. She has some pink in her yellowish ears. Last night she hunted her feather toy. I never I'm hoping I can updated this with great news and 5 stars, but it's too soon to tell.

She has some pink in her yellowish ears. Last night she hunted her feather toy. I never thought I'd see that again! So at the very least, she feels a little better. Cons? I give this to her in the evening and she is less likely to eat in the AM, seeming a little nauseous. If I don't give it to her, she doesn't do this. Following with water is VERY important. I don't know if her values will improve, but if that happened??? A MIRACLE! Nonetheless, seeing my 15 year old feel a little better is a bonus that I'll readily take! … more

My dog Charlie is 12. I took him to the vet and he had something negative going on with his liver. Instead of paying for all the blood work to confirm it was the liver I started him on these supplements right away and after a week or so hes back to his normal self!!

We initially got this from our Vet for Rascal, our 3 year old Maine Coon Cat, who had Triavitis (combined inflammation of the liver, pancreas & gall bladder). He was one sick little kitty. He was vomiting... even water, and had stopped eating for two days. Blood tests showed his pancreas and liver enzymes were off the charts. He required 4 days of hospital care with IV antibiotics and was put on Denamarin, which treats the inflammation of Triavitis. During that time our 4 year old cat, Shadow, was in for a routine checkup and we asked for his counts to be checked. His liver counts were also elevated, but no where near as high as Rascals, so prophylactically he was also put on Denamarin.

Within a month his counts were back to normal, and in two months, Rascal's were also normal. We will continue to use the Denamarin as it has no downside. We DID LEARN (according to two Vet newsletters from Cornell (NY) and Tufts(MA) Veterinary Universities (Catster and Cat Watch) that each pill should be immediately followed by water (we use a small syringe and squirt in the water with the pill) because it can stick in a cat's esophagus. Rascal & Shadow now come in, together, each morning for their pill and syringe of water. It has become a routine that they actually look forward to, and we think they know it is helping them feel better, too! … more

Just not sure about this pill...It worked at getting her liver values down one time & then they went back up...then they came back down....then they went back up. It was a yo yo effect so I took her off it. Plus the fact that these pills are just way too big for a cat. My fur baby that has liver issues is 17 years old & having to give her a pill in the first place is traumatic enough but a pill this size makes it even harder. I just wish they'd make one smaller or come out with a chewable form like they have for dogs! Maybe then I could give it one more try & see if it could work.

Bought this medication that the vet had recommended for my dog. It was the exact same med, packaging and all. Med was almost 1/2 difference in price, $50. at the vet, $25. at Chewy.com
