Same for Dogs 120 Tablets - Liver Supplement, Brain & Mood 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.

I cannot recommend this product enough. Our 15 year old boy started suddenly becoming uncharacteristically attached to us a few months ago. We thought nothing of it at first. Then the nighttime pacing started; back and forth over the same route in the house throughout the night until he finally tired himself out. Then he slowly started slipping on the hardwood floors. We put mats throughout the house to help him with traction and it restored our normalcy for a brief time again. That is, until the vocalization at night began. He was never the type to bark for no reason - especially at night. However, he started to bark at all hours of the night until someone came to comfort him. We didn’t realize it at the time, but this was the beginning of his “sundowning” and what we suspected to be canine cognitive dysfunction. We tried to keep the night light on to calm him down and establish a bedtime routine but nothing worked. He eventually devolved to the point of getting stuck in corners and burying his own poop with his nose. This was again, behavior he’s never had before. Finally, we tried giving him this product. We did a slightly higher dose based on the Novifit trial. He is a bit of a picky eater so we had to sneak the chews into some chicken. The results were instant. His eyes were alert, focused. We had our boy back. He started sleeping through the night with only an occasional awakening here and there because he needed help getting up to use the restroom. On a side note, I think this could’ve possibly also helped with his hip dysplasia because he started walking more methodically and smoothly compared to how he would walk hurriedly and trip over himself before. I hope this review helps anyone who is going through what we did and that you find the same success we did with our boy.

Has helped with my dog's liver enzymes. They are not 'chews.' They are a soft tablet. They stink, but we bought a pill grinder (Amazon) that you can twist to crush, and he eats them just fine on top of his morning meal.

These supplements have been a good alternative to more expensive veterinary products. We started giving them to our dog to help keep her liver enzymes stable, and they've worked very well for us. Since using them, her bloodwork has remained stable without any further decline. Another big plus is the price. They are much more affordable than the medications and liver supplements we were purchasing through our veterinarian, making them a great value. Our dog also loves the flavor. She happily eats them like a treat, so we don't have to hide them in cheese or peanut butter or wrap them in another treat to get her to take them. We have been pleased with the results over a couple of years for our dog's liver health and would recommend them.
