What is this product used for: Marin for Dogs is specially formulated with silybin, vitamin E and Zinc to provide a multifaceted approach to liver support. Silybin is the most biologically active component of an extract known as silymarin. Silybin/sylimarin has been shown to have beneficial effects on liver function. Vitamin E, a membrane-associated antioxidant, helps protect the liver against oxidant injury. Zinc, an essential trace mineral and component of approximately 200 enzymes participates in protein and carbohydrate metabolism and hormone synthesis, in the liver and throughout the body. Studies have shown that silybin/silymarin protects against oxidative stress, provides a mechanism for liver cell regeneration, inhibits leukotrienes which are a component of the inflammatory response, stimulates biliary flow and production of hepatoprotective bile salts and increases levels of glutathione.

After 5-weeks of this product my 13 year old dog's liver enzyme levels have dropped, he's gained back 10 pounds which he had lost (only 5 more to gain), his fur is healthier and he's much more playful. I must admit I was surprised . . . I was just so used to getting a prescription medication for whatever ailed him! As far as taste he will eat anything and everything so these are not a problem for him.
Marin for Dogs: Our companion animals' livers are under constant and chronic stress. Whether it be from every day environmental toxins, dietary factors, overvaccination, as well as the use of chronic drug therapies for chronic conditions in everyday veterinary practice, it is no wonder we are seeing increasing pets with chronic liver disorders. Many breeds like Dobermans, Bedlington terriers, as well as Labrador retrievers to name a few are prone to chronic liver inflammation, which can lead to serious illness of this critical detoxifying organ in our pets' bodies. With the wonderful University level research behind the Nutramax company, animal guardians can certainly rely on this wonderful combination liver supplement. With the active liver ingredient of milk thistle, which has been shown to aid in liver function, as well as antioxidant nutrients Vitamin E and Zinc, this supplement is a critical adjunct to treating most any liver disorder, and even as a preventative in those animal guardians, who want to try and prevent future illness from all of the above liver stressors. I will often combine it for optimal liver support with a great product like Liver plus from 1800petmeds, as well as the powerful antioxidant proanthozone. With appropriate dietary therapy, this combination supplement approach can often improve liver function significantly, sometimes avoiding the need for high doses of prescription stronger drugs. I highly recommend Marin, and give it an overall rating of 5, an effectiveness of 4.5, and taste of 4.
After 5 weeks of supplementing my 14 year old Pembroke Welsh corgi with Marin for small dogs, his liver enzymes dropped from the high 800s (extremely elevated) to well within normal range (low 100s). The improvement in his quality of life has been significant.
The vet did not use any other meds, but my pup did require a change in diet for kidney support (Royal Canin S/O). Even though the new diet was somewhat higher in fat than my dog's previous home cooked diet, the Marin still did the trick. Both my vet and I were thrilled with the results. I hope it works for your dog, too. I give it my highest recommendation, and so does my furry little guy.
p.s. My corgi wouldn't take the Marin by mouth without a struggle, so I bought a pill cutter and slice the Marin tablet (divides easily) into quarters and put it in his kibble. He gobbles it up, and since it must be given with food or on a full stomach, there is no upset tummy or digestive issues this way.
My dogs has been battleing an undiagnosed liver problem for over a year now. The vet had me giving him a plain Sam-E tablet twice a day along with an antibiotic to see if he would "get over" whatever was causing his liver to malfunction. He did really well with it but his liver enzyme values only dropped slightly from month to month. We started with a once daily dose of Marin last month with the same antibiotic and I'm happy to say that his liver values which are normally very high, were down significantly lower and closer to the normal range. Marin is working wonders for my dog's overall health!
Marin should have no effect on water intake or frequent urination. If these 2 symptoms have appeared you should have your pet examined by your veterinarian.
