Description
Your little one’s gallbladder stores bile (from their liver) that helps break down everything they eat (including medication). If their digestion needs a little extra support, our Gallbladder Kit can help improve bile flow, help prevent gallstones and support healthy organ function.
Natural Support for Dog Gallbladder Issues
From sunrise until sundown, our furry friends are constantly on the prowl for anything they can sniff or gobble. Sometimes they ingest things that don't sit well with them, but luckily, their body has ways of breaking down anything they eat. The liver creates bile and stores it in the gallbladder to be used when the body needs to break down and carry nutrients into the small intestine or carry toxins out of the body. If your little one is experiencing a gallbladder issue, they may experience vomiting, diarrhea, low appetite, or sometimes a yellow tinge in the skin or eyes (jaundice). Our Gallbladder Kit can be used for proactive pet care as well as be helpful for more severe health conditions, like gallstones or liver disorders. NHV supplements are formulated to be taken alongside vet-prescribed medication so that you don't have to pick between a conventional or integrative approach - you can have both!
How NHV Remedies Support Dog Gallbladder Problems
Like humans, healthy liver function is essential to your furkiddo's health and wellbeing. The liver filters everything that passes through their body, including harmful toxins and medication. Sometimes the gallbladder gets blocked, and stones can form from undigested cholesterol, calcium deposits, or bilirubin (a yellowish pigment that comes from the breakdown of red blood cells). NHV's Gallbladder Kit contains BK-Detox, Milk Thistle, and Turmeric. Ingredients in BK-Detox like Cleavers and Prickly Ash help flush the lymphatic system, improve detoxification of vital organs and help cleanse the blood to prevent future masses or blockages from forming. Other ingredients in BK-Detox, such as Burdock and Oregon Grape help stimulate bile(for improved digestion), cleanse blood (to help prevent stones) and support the immune system (to fight infection). The silymarin in Milk Thistle adds liver support by protecting liver cells from harmful toxins (so it is more easily eliminated) and encourages tissue regeneration. Turmeric adds extra antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to improve circulation and provide relief.

FAQ
Why is it important that I address my cat/dog's liver when the vet told me it is their gallbladder that is affected?
If the gallbladder is affected, the liver is affected. If your pet has jaundice or gallstones, there could be issues going on with the incomplete breakdown of blood cells (jaundice), rising cholesterol levels (possible blockages) or excess calcium (gallstones) which are all issues with waste removal (liver related).
Can I help my cat/dog with gallbladder issues just by changing their diet?
A change in diet can definitely help support your cat or dog with gallbladder issues, and nutritional supplements can provide additional support when they really need it. However, depending on your pet’s genetics, their specific gallbladder issue and its severity, they may require surgery or other kinds of vet-prescribed treatments. Please do not self-diagnose your pet; if in doubt, please consult your vet.
My cat/dog has had a feeding tube placed due to their gallbladder condition, is it safe for me to give them your NHV supplements? If yes, how do we give them - through the feeding tube or orally?
Yes! Absolutely. Our supplements are safe to administer through a feeding tube. We recommend adding your pet’s dosage directly through the feeding tube 20 minutes after meal time. Remember to flush the feeding tube with water afterwards and you’re good to go!
Due to the advanced stage of my cat/dog's gallbladder condition, the vet mentioned my pet is anemic - are the supplements in your Gallbladder Kit still recommended?
If your pet is anemic, we do not recommend the Gallbladder kit because the herbal ingredients in this kit may aggravate the issue.
BK Detox, Turmeric and Milk Thistle may be overstimulating for anemic pets and may interfere with iron absorption and blood cell formation.
Instead, we recommend NHV Multi Essentials, Yucca, and Turmeric in addition to Natures Immuno, and omega 3 fatty acids, to help encourage the formation of new blood cells, promote iron absorption, bone health (for blood cell formation) and to add gentle support to the immune system.
A personalized pet diet, that specifically addresses anemia may also be beneficial.
My cat/dog is on a lot of medications for their gallbladder diagnosis, and now they are very picky with taking any medications. How do I give them your supplements if they won't let me?
For picky eaters, we made our supplements easy to hide in treats or food with their liquid formulation and glycerin-base (that tastes sweet and pleasant).
To make administering our supplements a little easier, we recommend adding something like our homemade bone broth recipe to your pet’s meals so you can add something yummy and nutritious to mask the taste of the supplements.
