Pet Wellbeing Milk Thistle for Cats - Organic Milk Thistle, Supports Healthy Liver Function & Detoxification - Vet-Formulated Herbal Supplement - 4 oz (118 ml)

I have used this for my cats as a supplement in the hope it will help to keep them and their livers a little healthier. Both cats were happy to eat in their evening meals, so the taste must be fine. It smells fine too. The Pet Wellbeing brand is good quality, and this is reflected in the high price (currently around £58 for a 118ml bottle) so only the user can judge its value for money. Easy to administer using the dropper inside the bottle cap. It is hard to state its effectiveness, but I hope it does its job for my boys.

The vet recently gave us a liver supplement for our senior tortie, and our picky princess flatly refused to go near it. So we turned to Pet Wellbeing, who we already use for other supplements, and our girl has taken to it without issues. The taste is bacon, which she seems to enjoy; it's fat free, and has no nasty additives. Dosing instructions are clear, as are markings on the pipette. We had a question for Customer Service and they replied quickly with a lot of helpful information, so that's a plus too! Always good quality ingredients from this brand, and they really have been helping our senior stay in tiptop condition. Yes it's expensive but in our opinion, it's worth the money for a quality, beneficial supplement.

I've noticed my cat seemed to have lessened her eating / has a lower appetite as of late. I asked a vet about this and they mentioned liver strains and that milk thistle would be a good solution. I've added this to her food and result! Took about 2 weeks for my cat to start eating like how she used to. Very happy!

. Milk thistle is something I like to use for liver support, and I was especially hopeful because this one includes a natural bacon flavor, which sounded like it might actually appeal to them. Unfortunately, my cats are not fans. Even when I mix it into their favorite wet food, they tend to avoid it. I was surprised, because I expected the flavoring to help, but it didn’t make much of a difference for my crew. I’ve had to get pretty creative to get them to even try it. The only method that’s worked for me so far is layering it. I’ll put the appropriate dose of the glycerite on a small portion of food first, then add about half a tube of Churu on top to mask the taste. After that, I crumble their favorite treats over it, usually freeze dried chicken breast or sometimes sprinkle in freeze dried green lipped mussels. Prepared this way, they’ll actually eat it. I’m going to keep trying because I do like the idea of this product and the benefits milk thistle can offer. That said, palatability has been a challenge in my household, and it definitely takes extra effort to make it work. Other cats might tolerate it better, but if you have picky eaters like I do, be prepared to get a little creative. Also, it is in a plastic bottle.

I ordered this milk thistle for house cats as it seems to be beneficial to their health (liver function) and like most food supplements, is unlikely to do any harm. This is meant as a dietary supplement as our cats are healthy. The worse that can happen, according to what I have read on this before, is that they reject it in which case there is no point in insisting. The benefits will obviously be difficult to assess, in the short term anyway. This product arrived sealed wrapped in cellophane. It comes in a plastic dropper bottle with a graduated pipette which allows to dispense a small and precise amount. According to the manufacturer, milk thistle is the only ingredient and has been tested for impurities. I am quite confident that this is the case as it is from a reputable brand. So far, having administered a dose along with their food a few times, there has been no evidence of any adverse side effects. The milk thistle is flavoured (bacon flavour) and they seem to like it. The instructions to administer are clearly written on the bottle - note: dosage varies according to the weight of the cat. At £58.45 for 118 ml at the time of writing this review, it is pricey however what needs to be taken into consideration is that only a small amount is needed at a time, so it will last a long time.
