"My dog has copper storage disease. These pills help to rid her body of copper. They must be working since her liver enzymes are only a little high, when they used to be almost off the chart!</!"

— Dr.Kim

"I have been getting this medication in reasonably sized capsules. This time, they arrived with capsules big enough to give a horse, and it's a daily struggle to get these caps- literally 3x the size of the old caps, were sent."

Bottom Line

Recommended for its effectiveness and value, but be aware of potential sizing issues.
