From Hamsters to Hounds: Why Milk Thistle Is a Multi-Species Marvel
NHV Behind The Scenes 5 min read
You may have seen discussions about milk thistle for pets online, but found yourself wondering what is it for and how does it works? From fatty liver disease to antioxidant support, milk thistle benefits for pets are quite varied. So, let’s explore why this plant could be just what your cat, dog, bird, reptile, or pocket-sized friend may need!
What Exactly is Milk Thistle for Pets?
First, let’s start off with the basics. Milk thistle is a plant from the family Asteraceae. It’s known scientifically as Silybum Marianum. It originates from the Mediterranean region,but grows worldwide, blooming in iconic purple flowers.
But what makes milk thistle exciting for use in pets? The secret is silymarin! This natural compound, which comes from the seeds of the milk thistle plant, is known for its ability to support and protect the liver. It may help flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and even encourage the growth of new, healthy liver cells. This makes silymarin, and by extension milk thistle, an excellent addition for pets who use long-term or harsh medications, as well as pets with liver disease.
Note: It is important not to give your pet too much milk thistle. For example, milk thistle supplements for humans may be at doses too high for smaller pets. Likewise, giving them too little will not have any beneficial effect. To be safe, use milk thistle only in vet-approved amounts in supplements made specifically for pets, such as NHV Milk Thistle.
What Does Research Say about the Benefits of Milk Thistle for Pets?
Milk thistle is an herb that has no equivalent in veterinary medicine – nothing quite supports the liver in exactly the way it does! It’s no surprise, then, that many scientists flock to milk thistle as an area of interest.
A Veterinarian’s Opinion on Milk Thistle
Dr. Hillary Cook, an integrative veterinarian, discusses the unique potential of milk thistle for the body in her blog. This snippet helps us understand why integrative vets (vets who integrate conventional and traditional approaches to medicine) are so excited about milk thistle’s potential.
Every drug is processed by the liver and can be a burden
“In a nutshell, the liver is a large filter for toxins. With this in mind, we add Milk Thistle to aid the clearing of the liver for any patient of mine that is chronically on a western medication,” writes Dr. Hillary. “Every drug is processed by the liver and can be a burden to the liver, causing elevated liver enzymes and decreasing liver function.”
Milk Thistle Benefits for Birds
One amazing potential application of milk thistle? Using it for birds with liver issues!
Yep, that’s right, birds. Bird owners may not get as much attention when it comes to holistic medicine, but pet parents love their feathered family as much as any cat or dog. And they believe they deserve the best care, too.
That’s why we’re thrilled to learn that our NHV Milk Thistle has been used in a university setting!
In a letter from the Avian & Exotics Division of the University of Tennessee, the department shared that they were using NHV Milk Thistle “to treat liver issues with our patients.” Even better – “The owners have seen an improvement with birds that have liver issues.”
Because NHV Milk Thistle does not contain alcohol, it is suitable to use for pet birds with a number of liver conditions, including common ones such as fatty liver disease. It is also suitable for their biological cousins from the reptile family!
Milk Thistle Success Stories for Dogs and Cats
Milk thistle sounds pretty incredible, but how does it fare when used on real pets with real health conditions? Let’s take a look at how NHV Milk Thistle has helped furriends from our community.
Peachez the Cat’s Cancer Story
First, we have a heartwarming ‘tail’ from Peachez the cat! This pretty kitty had cancer. But a lot of love and a little natural support from NHV Milk Thistle for cats had her back on her feet (well, paws!).
[NHV] products have helped keep our girl alive all these years, we continue to buy monthly… our girl Peachez (our kitty) will be 14yrs old soon. She has had cancer for over a year but has had liver problems over 12yrs now, she’s still going strong. We have had milk thistle for many years on hand because of her issues years ago, and we found out a little over a year ago she has cancer so my mom ordered other product. She’s still going good! Milk Thistle has been saving her life for over 12yrs, even when the docs said she won’t make it, she is our fighter
Bhoomi the Dog Uses Milk Thistle for Liver Issues
Peachez story always warms our hearts and stands out as a way that cat owners can go the extra mile to support their kitties. But cats aren’t the only ones who can benefit from natural supplements. This next inspiring story comes from Bhoomi the dog!
Its one of the best product I ever used …my 12 year old girl who is a maltipoo was diagonosed with liver issues …..after i started giving her milk thistle and turmeric ,she is doing better …. also thanks to Jade and all the help that I get ,we now give her human food but as suggested by her and she has started to eat. Thank you NHV Natural Pet Product
How pawesome is that? It just goes to show that considering the entire pet – body, diet, and supplements – can make a big difference in our little pets’ lives.

Natural Pet Detox Support
Anytime your furkiddo is battling an illness such as ezcema, psoriasis, arthritis, liver disease and more, they are likely suffering from a buildup of toxins in their blood. This buildup of toxins may exhaust the liver and kidneys (the waste management system) and leave your furkiddo’s body vulnerable to secondary infections (on top of the conditions they are dealing with). Our Detoxification Kit contains two of our remedies: BK-Detox and Milk Thistle. On their own, each remedy contains many beneficial properties but when combined, they work together to support healthy elimination and increased immune function.
How NHV Remedies Support Detoxification and Healthy Immune Function
Your vet may recommend specific medications for a health condition that your pet is battling. For added support alongside these vet-prescribed medications, we recommend NHV's Detoxification Kit to help improve their elimination of harmful wastes (that build up from illness) and help restore immune function. This supplement bundle contains BK-Detox and Milk Thistle. BK-Detox contains beneficial herbal ingredients like burdock, cleavers, and gotu kola to help flush toxic wastes from the liver, blood, and other vital organs. Milk Thistle contains silymarin which supports healthy functioning in the liver and kidneys (waste management center) and for promoting healthy skin and blood.

Caring for Pets with Cancer
No pet parent wants to find out their pet has cancer, but not all forms of cancer are terminal. If caught early, the chances of recovery are drastically improved. In later cancer stages, the right support can provide a better quality of life for your pet. Using an integrative approach, which incorporates veterinarian-prescribed cancer treatments for pets as well as holistic and nutritional care can give your pet the best chance at fighting cancer.
About Cancer in Cats and Dogs
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells start reproducing and eventually taking over the normal functioning cells, often uniting to form a mass or tumor in the process. Some tumors are benign (non-cancerous) but some are malignant (cancerous), and those tend to spread through the bloodstream or lymph nodes.
Cancer care for dogs and cats is critical, and at NHV, we have a wide range of holistic, natural vet-approved remedies that provide safe support to be given along with a vet-recommended treatment plan.
Symptoms of Cancer in Dogs and Cats
- Changes in appetite
- Weight loss
- Loss of energy
- Abnormal growths or lumps
Health Benefits of NHV’s Cancer Fighter Pack (Cancer Kit 4)
The cancer fighter pack contains four powerful human-grade quality products:
- ES Clear - Our main cancer support supplement that helps your pet’s body fight tumor growth and helps strengthen the immune system.
- Turmeric - Strong antioxidant properties and helps scavenge free radicals.
- Milk Thistle - Helps draw out toxins from the body, which is beneficial for a pet suffering from cancer.
- Omega-3 - These highly effective fish oils help with the immune system, help reduce inflammation and help with appetite.
All of our products are third-party tested to guarantee quality and concentration with no additives or preservatives. Read our blog on how NHV’s cancer care for cat Ziggy helped him get back to his cat-hletic self.

Why Should I Trust It?
Made specifically for pets, vet-formulated and vet approved.
With recovery schedules, checkups, and a lot of worry, caring for a pet after surgery can be difficult. That’s why we created our Post-Op Kit.
Even when necessary, surgeries can cause lingering symptoms in pets.
From damaged microflora to discomfort, most pets will need a little extra care to address the issues that arise after surgery. To avoid taxing their bodies a second time, the best approach to helping your fur kiddo is to use something gentle, natural, and non-invasive.
That’s where the NHV Post-Op Kit shines. Like all NHV supplements, the Post-Op Kit is 100% natural and vet-formulated, so you can focus on what really matters: helping your pet feel like themselves again.
Each formula in this kit targets a specific concern for post-surgery pet care.
Support Weakened Immune Systems with BK-Detox
An invasive procedure can cause your fur kiddo’s immune system to weaken. While the procedure was necessary, they may need support in the following weeks and months as their bodies fight off everyday infections.
NHV BK-Detox supplements pets with compromised immune systems with herbs such as red clover and burdock, known for their potential to detoxify the blood and provide antioxidants.
Supporting Post-Op Pets with NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics
Surgeries can affect your pet’s digestive system in two ways - even if the surgery didn’t involve their stomach or gut. First, the stress of the surgery event (and wearing a medical cone afterwards) can contribute to stomach upset and diarrhea. Secondly, the surgery itself may cause constipation and reduced microbiota diversity in the intestines.
Thanks to seven strains of healthy bacteria, NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics supports pets in both areas. These probiotics help to replenish the good bacteria that live in the gut, which are often impacted by surgery. Meanwhile, prebiotics provide fiber and feed the gut flora, allowing good bacteria to reestablish themselves.
Easing Inflammation and Discomfort with NHV Yucca
The yucca plant has many properties as a natural remedy.
Rich in saponins and steroidal compounds, NHV Yucca may help to reduce inflammation and discomfort in the body. As a bonus, yucca may also help stimulate appetite in pets, making it particularly beneficial for pets after surgery who have reduced appetite.
Detox with NHV Milk Thistle
It is likely that all sorts of things were pumped into your fur kiddo’s system before, during, and after their surgery. While necessary, some of these substances can be harsh on your pet.
NHV Milk Thistle may gently support your pet’s liver and kidneys. As the organs responsible for the processing and elimination of toxins, supporting their function as your pet recovers is incredibly important.
Milk thistle is also known for containing Silymarin, a powerful antioxidant that may help protect against liver damage.
Caring for Your Post-Op Pet
In addition to your vet’s recommendations for post-op pet care, the NHV Post-Op Kit can be used 14 days after surgery.
Helping your pet’s surgery recovery can be daunting, but it doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. Our Pet Experts are here if you have any questions about the NHV Post-Op Kit, NHV supplements, or anything else!
