Canine Hepatic Support By Standard Process | Naturally Healthy Liver For Dogs

By Dr. Candy Akers

Canine Hepatic Support by Standard Process is one of the best liver support supplements available in the US.  I've been using this product for over 7 years and I have figured out when this product can be helpful. With liver disease cases, I run a lot of recheck blood work. There have been countless times when I put a dog on Hepatic Support and their liver values get better and often go back into normal range. 

Sometimes "liver stuff" can be complicated, so if you need some extra help feel free to check out our consult page.

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

Dr. Candy's Pro-Tip: Any condition where liver enzyme levels are elevated will benefit from Standard Process Hepatic Support. I have also seen that any case with the presence of whole-body inflammation (such as cloudy eyes, arthritis, or atopy) can heal the body faster and increase pet comfort when liver support is administered.

More About Canine Hepatic System Support

The liver is a complex organ that interacts with most organs in the body, including the intestinal tract, cardiovascular system, kidneys, and autonomic nervous system. Nutritional support for the liver must address these interactions to be effective.

Canine Hepatic System Support is formulated to:

  • Liver metabolism*
  • Hepatic circulation
  • Bile production and flow
  • Hepatic immune function*

Indications for Use: 

  • General hepatic support
  • Patients with increased metabolic demand

How to Administer

Dose Schedule:Based on body weight, the canine patient should receive the canine formula powder according to the following recommendations, or as otherwise directed.

Special Information:

A 1/8 tsp scoop is included with the small canine powder bottles, and a 1/2 tsp scoop is included with the large canine powder bottles.

Since these supplements are made from super foods, they are very "rich". This allows us to use small doses, but sometimes when adding a brand new savory food pets can experience a soft stool for 12-24 hours. This situation balances itself but I have found that using a gradual taper greatly reduces the chance of loose stool.

 Caution:This product is processed in a facility that manufactures other products containing soy, milk, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Please consult the actual product label for the most accurate product information.

Was prescribed by our veterinarian when my dog began to suffer from gallbladder issues. Works like a charm! She’s a super picky eater and she never detects that it’s added to her food, so it must not have a taste or odor.

Canine Hepatic Support is, as you may guess, a liver medication. Our dog got into something when she was little (we suspect grapes) and did some damage to her liver. We started this supplement shortly thereafter and we have had steady improvements in her liver enzymes and overall health since.

Questions & Answers

What are the side effects of Canine Hepatic Support?

Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.

How much Canine Hepatic Support should my dog take?
  • 1-10 lbs 1/8 teaspoon once per day
  • 11-20 lbs 1/8 teaspoon twice per day
  • 21-40 lbs ¼ teaspoon twice per day
  • 41-60 lbs ½ teaspoon twice per day
  • 61-80 lbs ¾ teaspoon twice per day
  • > 80 lbs 1 teaspoon twice per day
