Supporting Animal Liver Health

Certain wholefoods contain a range of nutrients which can support our dog’s whole health, so here are a few of our favorite foods to support liver health:

1) Blueberries

Almost all chronic liver disease is under the background of elevated oxidative stress. This occurs when the number of free radicals found in the body outweighs its ability to cope with them. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. This versatile berry contains anthocyanins which function as antioxidants which have been seen to protect the liver from oxidative stress.

2) Leafy Green Vegetables (kale, spinach etc.)

Not only does this family of vegetables provide a wide range of nutrients and health benefits, but they also have the added ability of increasing the liver’s natural detoxification enzymes.

3) Fatty Fish

Consuming fatty fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids regularly can help modulate inflammation and it is this mechanism that is crucial to so many health issues in both us and our dogs. Think SMASH - Sardines, Mackerel, Anchovies, Salmon and Herring!

4) Eggs

Eggs are sources of choline, and this nutrient is particularly useful to the liver. Most choline is metabolized in the liver where it is converted into phosphatidylcholine, which assists in building fat-carrying proteins and breaking down cholesterol. True choline deficiencies have regularly been linked to liver disease.
