Nutramarin+ Dogs & Cats Capsules

Nutramarin+ is Nutravet’s liver support capsule for dogs and cats, built around three actives that each work in a different way: SAMe, a Silybin milk thistle complex and curcumin from turmeric. The capsules are double enteric coated, so they pass through the stomach intact and release further down the gut. They are sprinkle capsules, which means you can give one whole or twist it open over food if your pet has strong opinions about tablets.

Why Nutramarin+ uses three actives rather than one

The liver does a great deal of unglamorous work: filtering waste, processing medication, handling fats and storing nutrients. Nutravet’s approach here is a triple-action formula, with each ingredient contributing something different rather than leaning on a single active.

• Supports normal, healthy liver function in dogs and cats.
• Supports the liver’s own antioxidant levels and its natural detoxification processes.
• Nutravet reports it helps support the liver while it is processing medication.
• Double enteric coated for stability, releasing in the small intestine rather than the stomach.
• One capsule size covers every bodyweight – only the number given per day changes.
• Sprinkle capsules, so cats and small dogs can be dosed straight over food.

Key ingredients

• SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine), 90% pure – 100mg per capsule, at what Nutravet describes as veterinary strength.
• Silybin (Milk Thistle Complex) – 10mg per capsule, a complexed form chosen for bioavailability.
• Turmeric Extract (Curcumin), 95% pure – 50mg per capsule.

How to use

Give the capsule whole, or open it and sprinkle the contents over food. Nutravet suggests dosing on an empty stomach where possible, to help absorption. Dose by bodyweight using the chart on the pack.

Getting the dosing right

Nutravet’s published daily amounts are:

• Cats and small dogs, 0-4.99kg: 1 capsule daily.
• Cats and small dogs, 5-9.99kg: 2 capsules daily.
• Medium dogs, 10-17.99kg: 3 capsules daily.
• Medium dogs, 18-24.99kg: 4 capsules daily.
• Large dogs, 25kg and over: 4 capsules daily, plus 1 extra capsule for every additional 5kg over 25kg.

Weigh your pet rather than guessing, particularly cats and small dogs, and re-check the dose after any weight change. If your dog sits close to a threshold, ask your vet which band to use.

Who it suits

Nutramarin+ is generally used where a vet has suggested extra everyday liver support: an older pet, a pet on long-term medication that the liver has to process, or a pet whose bloodwork has shown raised liver enzymes. It is nutritional support, not a treatment for diagnosed liver disease.

Signs your pet may benefit

• Reduced appetite, or unexplained weight loss.
• Lower energy than usual, or a general dullness.
• Occasional vomiting or digestive upset.
• A vet has flagged raised liver enzymes on a blood test.
• Long-term medication that is processed by the liver.

All of these have many possible causes, so have them checked properly rather than reaching for a supplement first.

A note on the name

Nutravet now presents this capsule on its own website under the heading Nutramarin Advanced. The formulation, the dosing chart and the 30 and 60 pack sizes are unchanged, and Nutramarin+ remains the name owners and vets recognise, which is why it appears here. It is a different product from Nutravet’s Nutramarin Advanced liver support chews, which are a dog-only chew with a different ingredient list and no SAMe.

Everyday changes that help alongside it

Keep the diet consistent and appropriate for your pet’s life stage, and avoid sudden changes or fatty scraps, which give the liver extra work. Give any prescribed medication exactly as directed, keep up with the recheck bloods your vet asks for, and tell your vet about every supplement your pet receives so the whole plan stays joined up.

What to expect, and when

Nutravet has not published a time-to-effect figure for Nutramarin+, and we would rather say so than invent one. Liver support is generally ongoing rather than a short course, and the honest measure of progress is your vet’s repeat bloodwork rather than how your pet looks on any given day.

When to speak to your vet

• Before starting, if your pet has a diagnosed liver condition or takes other medication.
• Yellowing of the gums, eyes or skin – this needs same-day veterinary attention.
• Repeated vomiting, diarrhoea, or a pet that has stopped eating.
• A marked change in thirst or urination.
• If your pet is pregnant, nursing, or a very young puppy or kitten.

Storage and shelf life

Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets. Use by the date printed on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nutramarin+ used for?
It is a nutritional supplement used to support normal, healthy liver function in dogs and cats, often alongside ageing or long-term medication.

Can I give it to my cat?
Yes. Open the capsule and sprinkle the contents over food, dosing by weight.

How long does a pack last?
It depends entirely on bodyweight. A cat or small dog on one capsule a day gets a month from the 30 pack, while a 25kg dog on four a day works through the 60 pack in a fortnight.

Which pack size should I choose?
The 30 pack suits cats, small dogs and a first trial. For anything medium or larger, or for ongoing use, the 60 pack goes considerably further per pound.

Can it be used long term?
Nutravet markets it for ongoing use. How long to continue is a conversation for your vet, who can time the recheck bloods around it.

What if I miss a dose?
Give the usual amount at the next meal. Never double up to catch up.

Is it a prescription medicine?
No. It is a nutritional supplement, not a licensed veterinary medicine, and it does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

My dog is over 25kg – how many capsules?
Four a day as the base, plus one more for every additional 5kg above 25kg.
