Same for Dogs - 120 Chewable Tablets - S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine, Liver Supplement - Brain Health, Promotes Cognitive Support, Liver Support

Well, I have a research background and therefore also a heavy helping of skepticism but was willing to try something to help our 15-16 year old 40 lb rescue mutt who had been showing signs of canine cognitive dysfunction over the past several weeks, and perhaps even longer without us really noticing. She paces and pants, particularly during "sundowning" hours, and at night she would wake up, pace, pant, whine, and paw frantically at her bed while turning in circles (a "nesting" behavior that she has always had but became much more pronounced and prolonged). She also started having accidents in the house, and she has always been a 100% perfectly housetrained dog. So here are the variables I changed, all in a single day: I started giving her this pill (one pill mid-morning and one pill right before bed), started adding salmon oil to her meals (twice daily), incorporated a very short down-the-block-and-back afternoon/evening walk into her regular daily routine (she has hated walks ever since we adopted her), and made a commitment to letting her out to potty more frequently. She is in very good physical health, no signs of arthritis and has maintained good muscle mass. The very first night she slept like a baby. Insert dose of heavy skepticism here. The second night she slept like a baby. So? I remain skeptical but will update if this changes. From what I can see, this has made a very big difference already. She loves the taste of the pill and takes it readily - and she is a VERY picky dog, food-wise. It has not caused any stomach upset and she has a VERY sensitive stomach. We will see...3-month update: She's still sleeping like a baby through the night and the panting and pacing has disappeared! We have not changed the dose (she gets 2 pills daily - one in the morning and one at night right before bed). She generally seems more alert and sprightly. She doesn't even bother chewing these anymore (they're actually a bit too hard to chew) but no matter...she takes them with gusto and swallows them whole! So glad we started her on these supplements!Almost-1-year update: Our now 16-17-year-old rescue mutt is still doing well and still taking this supplement. We have since added the milk thistle tablets by the same company (the combo of SAM-e + milk thistle are basically what's in the veterinary medicine Denamarin). Our vet agrees that giving our dog these supplements is a good idea. Interestingly, she also said that SAM-e either works like magic, or doesn't work at all. So, I hope that if you are trying this, you have a dog that falls into the "SAM-e works like magic" camp because this has definitely given back our dog's quality of life, and we are thrilled for her to still be with us. Also as a disclaimer, we did have to start our dog on Galliprant (prescription osteoarthritis medicine) as well, which is not surprising given her age, so that definitely also improves her quality of life. We will keep on trucking with our geriatric pup!Final 2020 update: We lost our wonderful girl at the end of June to potential liver and/or cardiac failure. She was probably between 16.5-17 years old. Interestingly she went downhill very quickly - it was like flipping a light switch - and we took her to the emergency vet and let her keep going down the Rainbow Bridge. I do not have lab value evidence that this product worked (we decided to skip bloodwork given our dog's age and anxiety levels at the vet, and knowing that even if we were to find evidence of liver failure, there would not be much we could do) but instead watched her clinical signs carefully. In her last weeks, she was probably uncomfortable but still enjoyed eating (very much!) and was very mobile and able to potty totally normally and rested easily at night. I am thankful that her decline was so sudden and dramatic - it made it "easier" for us to make a hard decision, and she did not suffer long. I can say with certainty that this supplement improved her quality of life and she took it for a full 12 months. Good girl, doggo. Love you forever.

My vet recommended Sam-e LQ for my senior dog's liver health. The best price I have found is on Amazon so I am glad to order them here and have reordered several times. My dog likes this brand and eats them like a treat about an hour before her dinner.

Seems to work fine. My old chihuahua eats them with no problem!

This product was recommended by my vet for liver issues for my Peke-a-Shitz along with Milk Thistle Oil as he wouldn't take Denamarin. It has been very effective. My complaint is that it that the last two orders the "soft chew" tablets have been rock-hard. I break it up into his food, but it is almost too hard for me to do that anymore. Seems the first time I ordered, when it was really chewable, it was fresh, now they seem dried out and old. If I could find a softer chew that offered the same support, I would change.

I bought the powder form for my cat who has high liver enzymes and a benign mass. He hates it, and I mean absolutely hates it. I have tried everything, mixing it in wet food, mixing it in his favorite creamy treat, putting it in tuna, anything to cover the smell. He is not typically a picky eater so this is unusual. Even I can smell that it isn't the most pleasant, so this was very disappointing. It was an expensive product to have to just throw in the trash.

Our elder dog needed something to boost her overall happiness & memory. Our Vet recommended SAMe, found in our drug stores, made for our livers but recent studies have shown it helps folks in the areas I was asking about. The cost was higher than I thought, so I went to Amazon. At first I couldn't locate it, logged off. Next I went to Amazon the page opened to this product, for people and one made for DOGS!This product I've bought several times for our dog, it is making her happy, her memory a little better! The price is okay & worth buying!But here is a problem for the distributor, and Amazon. When I type in all the product label information I can't find it. I only find it by going to my previous orders to click on buy again. I can't say exactly what the hiccup is, for I have typed in various ways of wording to locate the product. Wish you well in finding out why, I hope to continue buying this product as as long as our beloved dog lives.

Purchased for my 14 year old chihuahua who has a minor liver issue. Happy to have found a vet-approved solution with natural ingredients. The individual chews are large for his little mouth and slightly hard for him to chew, so I break them up. Very easy to break apart and sprinkle over his breakfast. The chews do have a strong odor, but that doesn’t bother little Fernando.
