maxxipawsmaxxiSAMe Advanced SAM-e Powder Supplement - Liver, Cognitive & Joint Support for Dogs, 150g

MIRACLE PRODUCT!! This in my opinion is the two words that sum up this product; the results to me have been astounding, and I truly do believe this product has saved my dog (Shankly’s) life. I have attached photos from his blood tests prior to have his supplements and his blood test 7 weeks later, after having 7 weeks worth of supplements, just so you can see the difference!!This is going to be a very in-depth review, so please bear with me on this. So in a nutshell and a quick brief on my dogs background/medical history; he is on steroids for the rest of his life due to a medical condition known in short as MMM, basically this is where his immune system attacked his jaw and head muscles and caused severe and excruciating painful inflammation, in order for this condition to be kept at bay he requires steroids for the rest of his life. Obviously steroids are known to be very hard on the liver long term, we monitor his bloods regularly, and unfortunately his liver was showing signs of strain on his last blood test, so we were advised to put him on liver supplements. He did have bloods done a month and half prior to this and all was ok, but I felt something wasn’t quite right with him as he appeared tired all the time, to the point he looked shattered, and was showing less enthusiasm on his walks, so I went in with a full blood panel at the vets, and this is when we received news that his liver was showing signs of strain.The vet recommended Samylin, which we were willing to put him on, this would cost us £140 per month for him to be placed on these supplements. I wanted to source a more natural alternative if possible, and hopefully something what was more affordable. I come across this product on Amazon, read all the reviews and looked at the ingredients in MaxxiSAMe to see how they compared to Samylin.I gave MaxxiPaws a call, they were absolutely fantastic; I was obviously very upset when I called due to blood test results, the lady on the phone was able to calm me down, she listened to what I had to say without rushing me and explained about the MaxxiSAMe product, they also emailed me information about their product and FAQ’s, and hints and tips on how to administer the supplement powder. I obviously sent the information the MaxxiPaws team sent me, across to my vet, who confirmed it contained the same as the (expensive) Samylin, alongside extra added vitamins and said this would be ok to place Shankly on. The only difference the vet stated, is that silybin/silymarin component comes from the artichoke plant, as opposed to the milk thistle plant. But looking into this myself, and also in discussing this with the MaxxiPaws team, the artichoke is the better source for the silybin/silymarin to come from. The dosage for the main components that is used in the MaxxiSAMe, is the same as the Samylin therefore you are getting the exact same product as what the vet prescribed, but at a fraction of the cost, and you also get the added benefits of the extra vitamins, so you get a lot more bang for your buck.Within a couple of days of Shankly taking the supplement I noticed he appeared to be getting more energy, although it was very subtle at this stage, he seemed to be awake more and have more pep in his step, by day 3, his increase in energy levels were more noticeable, and more people were noticing this, not just myself. This made me super happy and was an absolute joy to see! I thought something must be moving in the right direction due to what I am seeing, his movements were a lot quicker, he was running up and down the stairs a lot quicker, jumping in the car a lot quicker, showing more enthusiasm when asking if he wanted to go on a walk, and also wasn’t laying down immediately after a walk. I would say after 3 weeks his energy levels were what they had been prior to his liver being under strain, at this point, me and my husband were feeling quietly confident that his next set of bloods would show improvement. The MaxxiPaws team were also optimistic to, as they said this is one of the first things a lot of owners noticed when they first gave their dog the supplement, the increase in energy levels.Shankly’s bilirubin levels, and bile acids were the main concern, as they were tittering on the edge of the ‘safe parameters’, although they were out of the normal range, his bilirubin was three times higher than what it should have been. He has been on this supplement for 6 and half weeks, to be precise, and on the recent blood test, his bilirubin was back in the normal parameters, as was his bile acids levels, and the rest of the liver enzymes! I was shocked, at how well his body has taken the supplement, I knew we would see a decrease in the enzyme levels, but not this much. It’s pretty amazing in such a short time frame his liver is operating healthily now and not showing signs of strain, I was absolutely over the moon with the results, and how much this has helped my boy. I cried with relief when we got those results in, and with tears of joy and happiness. This for me, is nothing short of a miracle,I honestly can’t thank the company MaxxiPaws enough for what their product has done for my dog, I truly believe they have saved his life. Not only that, but the support MaxxiPaws have provided me throughout these past 7 weeks has been phenomenal, I have been a nervous wreck due to worrying about my dog and his liver enzymes, the MaxxiPaws team have been there to support me every step of the way, allowing me to keep my anxiety under control and helping me to remain more optimistic. I have regularly kept in contact with them, to update them on Shanklys progress; they are always very happy to hear how well Shankly has been doing, and always get back to me. I wish more companies had the response to their customers that MaxxiPaws have; their customer service is impeccable, you really do feel, and know, that they are pet owners themselves and they take great pride and care in everything they do, they are such genuinely nice and caring people who’re keen to help your pet, and also to support you as an owner, through a tough time (as I found dealing with the liver enzyme issues of Shankly, very worrying and upsetting). It’s just so rare especially in the pet industry where you come across such an amazing company and a team of people (MaxxiPaws), who care as much as they do! For that I am truly, truly grateful, so much so that I feel words cannot express how grateful I am to them.Back on to the supplement, it is in powder form, which makes it fantastic to mix in with food. Shankly has his kibble soaked, and I add a quarter of a can of tuna in spring water and mix into a small portion of his kibble, to ensure he eats it all. He was a bit fussy at first, as dogs can be with new tasting things, but we got it down him, and this product works wonderfully, which is the main thing. Once he’s eaten this portion the rest of his meal is then placed down. The supplement comes with a scoop, allowing you to measure out the portion, and they recommend this is split between two meals, which we have been doing. His dose was double for the first few weeks, to help give his liver a good boost, and then the dose reduced a little bit more, and currently, 6 weeks in, he is on the maintenance dose. The MaxxiPaws team helped me with the support of what dose to place him on and then when to reduce it, as I just wanted to be sure that everything I was doing was correct and his liver was receiving the best support possible. Shankly weighs 27kg so using his maintenance dose of MaxxiSAMe, the tub lasts approximately a month.Shankly will remain on this supplement for the rest of his life, but I am perfectly fine with that, it’s all natural, which is fantastic for him and allows me to use the product with more confidence. I feel confident that all will be well now with Shankly and the continued use of supplements alongside his current medication which he has to have.I order mainly now, through their website, my first order was placed via Amazon as that’s where I initially saw the product, but, I have since joined the ‘MaxxiClub’ and receive a discount on any products I order through their website, you are also entered into a drawer when you join the MaxxiClub, so you get a chance to win a free product in their drawer, which is another perk. They donate to charities also, on a monthly basis, which is such a great thing for them to do as company, as I doubt many other companies have such kind gestures.Would I recommend this product to anybody who’s dog has liver issues?! You bet I would. This product to my dog, has been a life saver, the results showing in his recent blood works are fantastic! I would without a shadow of a doubt recommend this product to any dog who needs it, I would also confidently use any of MaxxiPaws products on my dog if needs be, as I have that much confidence in their products and the company.

Our eldest dachshund had a very high liver enzyme count when bloods were taken, following major gastric surgery. Our vet recommended a tablet that contained various ingredients to support the liver. The tablet brought his enzymes down, but, it is very expensive for a months supply, and on some days I would find the soggy tablet later in the day hidden near the fridge freezer. Reading reviews online, I became aware of several customers who had similar issues , and had tried the Maxxi SAMe instead with great results. Had a good read up, the SAMe quantity was identical, with silybjn too, from a different source, but also several other excellent ingredients , such as vitamin B12, B6, B1, B2 inositol, and choline. These are very important for nervous system and brain function. Plus the fact , that the tub is very generous for the money. So you get more benefit for a far more resonable cost . My dog has 1/4 scoop twice a day ,which is 1.25 gms for his weight of 6.6 kg. I purchased this tub in March and will need my next tub in July . The final clincher for this product, is the advice and customer service from the manufacturer. They have a great website with a dedicated phone line. When I phoned to discuss withholding Maxxi Cardio for a few days before his dental surgery, they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's unusual, in my experience, to find people so invested in getting products that benefit pets. This is possibly because they all are pet owners and use these products themselves. I also had a very nice follow up email regarding dosage of Maxxi Joint for my younger dachshund. Milo had routine bloods taken before his dental in May, since he is almost 15 and surgery not without risk . Our vet stated that for his age, the bloods were good, and liver enzymes are now only mildly elevated, which is as expected for his age and pancreatic issues. Our vet was even more impressed with his recovery at his 10 day post op check , as were we. He is a different dog and I am convinced that introducing Maxxi Cardio (which I have also reviewed) was crucial to his well being as he had become quite weak with a heart murmur. If you are tempted to try the Maxxi Paws products, then contact with the customer service will no doubt help your decision, and give you good guidance. For us , Maxxi Same and Maxxi Cardio play a big part in our dachshund's fantastic health, and have hugely improve his quality of life .

Seems OK. We used samylin sachets before but can't get hold of them so trying this

I rescued my dog several months ago and have spent lots of time working with him to undo whatever had happened previously in his life, which unfortunately is unknown. He was making progress slowly and I was working hard with him but I felt he was lacking something, like he was just sad or a bit depressed or something. This got me thinking about a conversation I had with a close friend of mine who had depression and had used the human form of SAMe to help her. So I started to research about SAMe and looked for a K9 version and found MaxxiSAMe on the Internet. I decided to try it and I ordered a tub. Wasn't, sure if it would do anything really but after just a few weeks my dog seems much more relaxed most of the time, less fed up and less depressed. He is a lot calmer and less moody and more receptive to normal stuff. He just seems happier. This product is brilliant and has really helped speed up my dogs progress. I recommend it to anyone who is having similar experiences to myself. Thank you so much Maxxidog!
