Milk thistle, also known as Silybum Marianum is an herb that has been used for thousands of years by humans for its powerful medicinal properties. The active ingredient is Silymarin which contains flavonoids that have many beneficial properties including:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Antioxidant (acts as free radical scavengers)
• Detoxifying
• Promotes cellular regeneration and repair
• Removes toxic chemicals that can accumulate in your cat’s system

Milk thistle is one of the few herbs that have no equivalent in conventional medicine and has many uses. You can read about the many applications of Milk Thistle for cats and dogs on Dr. Hillary Cook's blog.

Milk Thistle for Liver Function

• Assists with detoxifying a damaged liver
• Enhances the regenerative effects by supporting and strengthening the liver

Milk Thistle for cats with liver disease is glycerin-based and safe for long-term use. This potent herbal formula provides excellent proactive support and can be taken in conjunction with conventional treatment.

Milk Thistle for Kidney Function

• Improves kidney function as well as aiding the damage that can occur in the body due to the use of drugs, radiation therapy, diabetes, and infections.
• Preliminary studies have shown Milk Thistle to improve markers associated with diabetic kidney disease in blood and urine.

Milk Thistle for Anti-Cancer Support

• Due to the antioxidant properties, Milk Thistle may help reduce or slow down the growth of specific cancer cells.
• May protect and prevent cancer cells from dividing in your cat’s body.

Milk Thistle may also be beneficial to cats undergoing chemotherapy as Silymarium may enhance the activity of certain chemo drugs.

The health benefits of multivitamins aren’t just for humans. Cats have many of the same nutrient needs as we do, and some need even more than others depending on their age and health.

A multivitamin supplies the vital nutrients your kitty needs to be healthy and to fight off potential health problems. Dr. Cook, DVM, CVA in her blog states that vitamins “help to regulate the body processes, protect the body from environmental toxins, and break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats so the body can utilize them”.

The best way to give your cat vitamins and minerals are from whole food sources and not just isolated synthetic vitamins. NHV Multi Essentials contains a powerful blend of alfalfa, oat, dandelion, kelp, parsley, marshmallow, chickweed, stinging nettle, Asian ginseng, yucca and Oregon grape.

Natural Support for Skin Infections, Hot Spots and Scrapes

All Clear Ointment is a topical ointment for dog skin that contains all-natural herbal ingredients that protect and soothe skin while promoting healing. It can be used to help with yeast infections, fungal or bacterial infection, general itchy skin, and everyday scuffs.

Hot Spots

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the body? It is the boundary between the body and the outside world and is susceptible to injury at all times. A “hot spot” (aka moist dermatitis) is a condition that involves an area of skin that becomes inflamed, causing a raw, moist wound to develop. These areas are itchy and may cause a lot of discomfort for your pup; the anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating properties in All Clear help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Bacterial and Fungal (Yeast) Infections

To keep your dog’s skin happy, a delicate balance of healthy bacteria, fungus and other microorganisms are required. When there is an irritant, infection or allergy response, your dog can respond by biting or chewing to self-soothe and their mouth can introduce infection causing a secondary infection. The herbs in All Clear Ointment, like Marigold, help fight fungal infections of the skin.

Wound Healing

For pet parents with active pooches, you know that your four-legged friends like to get into trouble! For every day cuts and scrapes, make sure to disinfect the affected area before applying the All Clear ointment. The olive oil, beeswax and rosemary extracted in sunflower oil form a protective barrier and stay in place while the skin heals.

How All Clear Supports Recovery from Hot Spots and Itchy Skin

All Clear contains many beneficial ingredients like Echinacea angustifolia which has been commonly used for skin infections due to its many immune-stimulating properties. Herbs like Marigold help decrease bacteria and fungus, at the site of injury, and Goldenseal acts as a natural disinfectant that fights infection and stimulates healthy immune response. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties reduce discomfort and swelling so your furkiddo is less likely to chew the affected area. And the olive oil, beeswax and rosemary (extracted in sunflower oil) create a protective barrier so the skin can start to heal. All Clear’s 100% natural formulation means that it is totally safe if your pup licks it! This all natural, topical cream is safe to use alongside other NHV supplements, like Felimm, to give your pet the support they need for fighting fungal infections both externally and internally.
