Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone out there knows of an all-natural supplement that works just as good if not better than Rimadyl? I am concerned to give this to Nico every day for the rest of his life as it can damage his liver and or kidneys.
I have found a supplement on Super Supplements for liver and kidney support called Mercola Healthy Pets Liver and Kidney Support. It’s a powder form. It also has decaf green tea exact, which my oncologist is happy about.
Also, I just ordered a Ruffwear Webmaster Harness for Nico.
Thanks so much!
Breana & Nico
- Also, how do I post pictures?

Thank you for the info about your oncologist! Looks like your clinic is on our Tripawds Foundation brochures mailing list so they should have received some of our materials. I do like the way your onco thinks, I might need to have her on Tripawd Talk Radio some day.
As for the NSAID supplement...Yes, NSAIDs can cause liver damage but as long as you're vigilant about periodic labwork, it should be just fine. Many dogs are on it for years. Plus, NSAIDs have been shown to have anti-tumor properties too, so double bonus.
If you're still wanting to try something else, I haven't heard of the one you referred to but I have heard many good things about a holistic supplement called Dog Gone Pain.
