Animal Essentials · Organic Liver, Kidney & Lymphatic Support
A natural, certified-organic six-herb tonic for dogs, with milk thistle, burdock, dandelion, alfalfa, red clover, and licorice, to support the body's own liver, kidney, and lymphatic pathways. It contains no laxative herbs, so it supports the organs that filter rather than pushing the bowels.
If You Have Been Searching For This
A dog's body already has a filtration system, and it is a good one. The liver processes, the kidneys filter, and the lymphatic system carries waste away from the tissues. Detox Blend is Animal Essentials' six-herb answer, made by herbalists trusted for over thirty years, built to support those organs rather than hand their job to a bottle. Here are the reasons natural-minded households reach for it.
Milk thistle seed anchors this blend, naturally rich in silymarin, the compound group most studied for supporting liver cells and antioxidant defense.
One of the most common reasons pet parents reach for this natural blend, gentle support for the liver and elimination pathways during the weeks afterward.
Spring and fall are the classic moments, and this natural tonic is made for exactly that, a two to four week reset or steady daily support.
This blend has no bowel-moving herbs in it. It works by naturally supporting the organs that filter, which makes it the gentler choice.
Red clover and burdock support lymphatic function, a natural pathway most detox products skip, alongside liver and kidney support in one bottle.
This is six certified organic herbs, a natural, NASC-certified blend with no fillers, dyes, preservatives, or artificial flavoring.
Why Natural-Minded Households Reach For This
What herbalists have always understood is that you cannot hand the filtering job to a bottle, but you can support the organs doing it. What makes this blend worth a look is the coverage. Milk thistle seed is the headline, rich in silymarin, the group of flavonoids most studied for supporting liver cells and antioxidant defense. Burdock root works across all three systems at once, supporting liver, kidney, and lymphatic function. Dandelion brings both halves of its plant, bitter root for bile flow and potassium-rich leaf for normal urine output. Red clover is the interesting one, traditionally used to support lymphatic drainage and healthy skin, which is a pathway most detox products skip entirely. Alfalfa adds mineral-rich nourishment, and licorice harmonizes the blend and supports the gut lining.
Here is a distinction worth knowing before you choose. This blend has no laxative herbs in it. It works by supporting the organs that filter, rather than by moving the bowels, which makes it the gentler option and a natural fit for steady daily use or a two to four week seasonal reset. Many pet parents reach for it in spring and fall, or as gentle support in the weeks after a course of medication.
One more thing, because you read labels and we would rather you hear it from us. Unlike most Animal Essentials tonics, this one is not alcohol-free. It uses a small amount of grain alcohol, under six percent by volume, as a traditional extraction solvent. There is a good reason for it, and an easy way around it if you would rather avoid it entirely. Both are explained below.
What This Looks Like Inside Your Dog's Body
Picture the liver, kidneys, and lymph running quietly every hour of every day. This is gentle support for the systems already doing the work. Here is what a weight-based amount does, in plain terms, given by mouth or worked into the routine.
You shake the bottle, then give the weight-based amount straight into the mouth or worked into the regular routine, up to three times daily. If you would rather cook off the alcohol first, a spoonful of hot water and a few minutes does it.
Silymarin, the flavonoid group in milk thistle seed, is studied for supporting liver cell renewal and protection and for antioxidant defense. It is the most researched liver botanical there is, and the reason this blend leads with the liver.
The multitasker of the blend, traditionally used to support healthy liver, kidney, and lymphatic function at once, carrying prebiotic fiber, antioxidants, and the compounds arctiin and arctigenin.
The whole plant is here, bitter root traditionally used to support bile flow and metabolic processing, and potassium-rich leaf to support normal urine output, so elimination is supported through both the digestive and urinary paths.
The lymphatic system carries waste away from the tissues, and red clover is long used in herbal tradition to support that natural drainage and healthy skin. Most detox products skip this pathway entirely.
There are no laxative herbs in this blend, so it supports the organs that filter rather than forcing anything through. That is what makes it gentle enough for daily use or a seasonal cycle, with alfalfa nourishing and licorice tying it together.
Why this blend over the rest of the shelf? Most detox products pick one organ or lean on bowel-moving herbs. This one covers three pathways with six certified organic herbs, led by the most researched liver botanical there is, and it includes the lymphatic support that almost every other blend forgets. It originates from Animal Essentials, an herbalist-founded maker trusted for over thirty years, with no fillers, dyes, preservatives, or artificial flavoring. For a label-reader who wants organ support rather than a push, that combination is the appeal.
This is a clean, certified-organic three-pathway blend. Milk thistle and silymarin lead for the liver, burdock and red clover support the lymphatic system, and whole dandelion supports bile flow and normal urine output. There are no laxative herbs, so it supports the body's own filtering rather than pushing it.
The liver, kidneys, and lymph work every hour of every day, and the right herbs simply help them do it. This natural blend of milk thistle, burdock, dandelion, alfalfa, red clover, and licorice supports the body's own filtering and elimination pathways for a gentle seasonal reset, naturally.
The Most Important Thing To Know
Three pathways, six organic herbs. Milk thistle and dandelion root lead for the liver, dandelion leaf and burdock support the kidneys and fluid movement, and red clover and burdock support the lymphatic system. Covering all three is what separates this from a single-organ tonic.
No laxative herbs, so it stays gentle. This blend supports the organs that filter rather than moving the bowels, which is exactly why it suits steady daily use or a two to four week seasonal cycle in spring and fall.
We will tell you about the base. Unlike most Animal Essentials tonics, this one is not alcohol-free. It uses USP grain alcohol under six percent by volume as a traditional extraction solvent, because alcohol pulls resins and flavonoids like silymarin more completely than water and glycerin alone. The full explanation, and the simple way to cook it off, are below.
What's Inside And Why It Matters
Here is the blend in measured terms, ingredient by ingredient, plus an honest word on the base.
Silybum Marianum · Certified Organic
The headline herb, and the most researched liver botanical there is. Its silymarin, a group of flavonoids, is studied for supporting liver cell renewal and protection and for antioxidant defense. It is the reason this blend leads with the liver. It also carries essential fatty acids and vitamin E.
Arctium Lappa · Certified Organic
The multitasker, working across all three pathways at once, traditionally used to support healthy liver, kidney, and lymphatic function and to encourage healthy fluid movement. It naturally carries prebiotic fiber, vitamins C and E, antioxidants, and the compounds arctiin and arctigenin.
Taraxacum Officinale · Certified Organic
The whole plant, because the two parts do different jobs. The bitter root is traditionally used to support bile flow and metabolic processing, while the potassium-rich leaf supports normal urine output. Together they support elimination through both the digestive and urinary paths. Naturally rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus iron, calcium, and potassium.
Trifolium Pratense · Certified Organic
The distinctive one. Long used in herbal tradition to support the body's natural lymphatic drainage and healthy skin, it carries isoflavones and other plant compounds that support normal cellular and immune function, along with vitamins C and B and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Medicago Sativa · Certified Organic
The nourishing base note. A deeply mineral-rich herb traditionally used to support whole-body nutrition, it rounds out a blend of working herbs with steady, gentle nourishment.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra · Certified Organic
The harmonizer. Traditionally used to support mucosal health and digestive balance while reinforcing and enhancing the actions of the other herbs, it also brings a naturally sweet note. Its signature compound is glycyrrhizin.
Distilled Water · USP Grain Alcohol Under 6% · Vegetable Glycerine
Most Animal Essentials tonics are alcohol-free. This one is not, and we would rather tell you plainly than let you discover it on the panel. It contains USP grain alcohol at under six percent by volume, alongside distilled water and vegetable glycerine.
The reason is extraction. Alcohol is the traditional solvent because it pulls resins and certain flavonoids, including silymarin, more completely than water and glycerin alone. At under six percent, in a dose measured in drops, the actual amount is very small.
And if you would rather your dog have none of it, the trick herbalists have used for generations is simple: add the dose to a spoonful of hot water and let it stand a few minutes before serving, and most of the alcohol evaporates off. If you prefer a fully alcohol-free option, Body Cleanse and our single-herb Dandelion tonic both fit the bill.
Every herb is certified organic, and the panel carries no fillers, dyes, preservatives, or artificial flavoring. It is NASC certified, third-party tested, vet recommended, and made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, from a maker trusted for over thirty years. The base is the one place this tonic differs from the rest of the line, and it is spelled out above rather than buried.
What To Look For
Not every detox product is built the same, so four qualities separate a natural organ-support blend worth reaching for from the rest, and here is what to look for, along with how this one measures up on each.
Plenty of detox products lean on bowel-moving herbs. Look for one that supports the organs actually doing the filtering, which is the gentler and more sustainable approach.
No laxative herbs anywhere in the blend
Look for milk thistle and its silymarin, the compound group most studied for supporting liver cells, rather than a vague blend with no evidence-backed anchor.
Milk thistle seed leads the formula
Filtering is a three-system job. Look for kidney and lymphatic support alongside the liver work, since most blends stop at one organ.
Liver, kidney, and lymphatic in one bottle
Look for certified organic herbs, third-party testing, and a maker who explains the base rather than hoping you skip past it.
Organic, NASC certified, and openly labeled
When To Use It
The classic moments for a gentle herbal reset. Many pet parents run a two to four week cycle at each turn of the season, supporting all three pathways through the transition.
Milk thistle is the herb pet parents most associate with this window, and it makes a natural, gentle companion for the liver during the weeks afterward.
For a household that wants the pathway most blends forget, red clover and burdock offer traditional, natural support for lymphatic drainage and healthy skin.
Because nothing in it moves the bowels, this blend is gentle enough to keep in the routine as ongoing, natural support for the organs that filter.

How To Give It
Shake the bottle well, then give the weight-based amount printed on the label, either straight into the mouth or worked into the regular routine. Each mL provides 250mg of the certified organic herbal blend.
Follow the label for the amount. Give the weight-based amount listed on the bottle, up to three times daily. Shake well before each use, since the herbs can settle.
The hot water trick. To cook off most of the alcohol, add the dose to a spoonful of hot water and let it stand a few minutes before serving. It is the method herbalists have used for generations, and it takes about as long as filling the water bowl.
Daily or seasonal. Use it as steady gentle daily support, or run a two to four week cycle in spring and fall. Keep fresh water available either way.
Storage. Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct light, and keep it out of reach of pets to avoid overconsumption.
Good to know. This is gentle support for a healthy dog's liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. As with any new herb, if a dog has a health condition, is pregnant, or takes medication, a quick check with a vet is always a good idea.
Works Well With
This blend already carries milk thistle, dandelion, burdock, alfalfa, and licorice, so the best companions work through a different mechanism rather than doubling up on the same plants. These three share no herbs with it at all.
The natural partner for a post-medication reset. A diverse probiotic replenishes beneficial gut bacteria, complementing this blend through a completely different, non-overlapping path.
Peppermint, ginger, fennel, and chamomile ease gas and bloating from an entirely different angle, with no shared herbs, so the two layer cleanly for everyday comfort.
Omega-3 fatty acids support skin, coat, and a healthy inflammatory response, a natural complement to the traditional skin reputation of red clover and burdock.

Yes, and we would rather say so plainly.

At that concentration, in a dose measured in drops, the actual amount is very small. If you would rather skip it, add the dose to a spoonful of hot water and let it stand a few minutes, and most of the alcohol evaporates off. For a fully alcohol-free option, Body Cleanse and our Dandelion tonic both work.

Detox Blend supports the filtering organs, liver, kidney, and lymphatic, with milk thistle and red clover, and it has no laxative herbs, so it is the gentler daily option.
