Hepatocord Oral Liver Support Liquid for Dogs & Cats - 55ml
964803
Hepatocord Liver Support is a liquid oral supplement designed to give dogs and cats extra nutritional support when the liver is under pressure. The liver is involved in detoxification, bile production, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, vitamin storage and protein synthesis, so even mild hepatic dysfunction can affect the whole body. It also helps regulate blood glucose, process hormones and produce substances needed for normal coagulation. Because the liver has a large functional reserve, the early signs are often vague rather than dramatic.
A pet may seem tired, eat less, lose weight, vomit, develop diarrhoea, drink more, urinate more, or look slightly yellow around the gums, eyes or skin. Hepatocord Liver Support is not a substitute for a veterinary diagnosis, but it can be a useful part of a wider management plan when blood tests, imaging or clinical signs suggest the liver needs support. The liquid format is especially practical for fussy pets, older animals, or patients already taking several medicines.
Hepatocord Liver Support works by combining hepatoprotective plant extracts with nutritional cofactors that support normal hepatocyte function. One of the key ingredients is milk thistle extract, which provides silybin, a well-known antioxidant used in veterinary liver support. Silybin is valued because it helps protect hepatocyte cell membranes against oxidative stress and supports the liver’s normal regenerative processes.
Hepatocord Liver Support also contains DL-methionine, an amino acid that acts as a precursor to S-adenosylmethionine, often shortened to SAMe. SAMe is involved in methylation reactions, hepatic metabolism and the production of glutathione, an important intracellular antioxidant. For pets with raised ALT, AST, ALP or bilirubin, Hepatocord can be particularly beneficial.

Description
Hepatocord Liver Support also includes choline and lecithins, which help support normal lipid transport and fat metabolism within the liver. Dogs and especially cats can struggle when fat handling becomes inefficient, and hepatic lipidosis or fatty change can place extra strain on already compromised tissue. Hepatocord Liver Support also contains spirulina and chlorella algae, which provide additional phytonutrients and antioxidant support, plus orthosiphon leaves, dandelion root extract and artichoke extract. These ingredients are often included in hepatic formulas because they support normal biliary function, digestive comfort and day-to-day metabolic balance. Choline is particularly useful in formulas for pets that need help maintaining healthy hepatic fat metabolism, while lecithins can support normal cell membrane structure. Taken together, Hepatocord offers broad nutritional support rather than relying on a single mechanism. That makes it a sensible choice for pets needing gentle, daily liver support without the challenge of swallowing tablets.
The benefits of liver support supplements for dogs and cats are not about masking disease or replacing proper treatment. They are about giving the liver the raw materials it needs while the underlying problem is identified and managed. Hepatocord can be helpful for pets with chronic hepatitis, cholangitis, cholangiohepatitis, medication-related hepatic stress, recovery after toxic insult, or ongoing monitoring for elevated liver enzymes. In cats, liver support can be especially valuable when poor appetite or weight loss raises concern about hepatic lipidosis. In dogs, liver supplements are often used when chronic inflammation, breed predisposition or long-term medicines put the liver under extra demand. They may also be discussed when a pet is recovering from illness, coping with reduced appetite, or being managed for a chronic condition where repeated blood tests show ongoing hepatocellular strain. Hepatocord Liver Support is therefore best seen as part of supportive care: something that works alongside dietary modification, blood tests, ultrasound findings and any prescribed medication, rather than instead of them.
What is Hepatocord Liver Support used for in dogs and cats?
Hepatocord is used as a nutritional supplement to help support normal liver function in dogs and cats. It is often chosen for pets with raised liver enzymes, ongoing hepatic disease, poor appetite during liver recovery, or as part of a vet-led liver care plan.
How does Hepatocord work?
Hepatocord Liver Support combines milk thistle extract with silybin, DL-methionine, choline, lecithins, spirulina, chlorella and botanical extracts. Together these ingredients support antioxidant defence, normal hepatocyte function, bile-related processes and hepatic fat metabolism, helping the liver cope better with everyday metabolic stress.
What are the signs of liver problems in dogs?
Dogs needing liver assessment or support may show lethargy, reduced appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, increased thirst, increased urination, abdominal discomfort or yellowing of the gums and eyes. These signs are not specific to liver disease, so veterinary examination and blood tests are always important.
What are the signs of liver problems in cats?
Cats with liver problems can be very subtle at first. Common warning signs include poor appetite, weight loss, vomiting, drooling, lethargy, jaundice and behaviour change. Because cats can develop hepatic lipidosis after not eating for even a short period, early veterinary advice is especially important.
Can Hepatocord Liver Support help pets with raised liver enzymes?
Hepatocord Liver Support is commonly used when pets have raised liver enzymes, but it does not replace diagnostic work or treatment. Abnormal ALT, AST, ALP or bilirubin results can reflect many different problems, so the supplement is best used as part of a wider veterinary monitoring and treatment plan.
