DogzymesPancreas Support (1 Pound)

Our beloved 9 year old longhair miniature dachshund was dying on the vine-- losing weight, hair getting thin, no energy, none of her previous scampish playfulness. We'd increased her portions to no avail. We were about to make an appointment with our vet when a sudden bout of bloody, clear diarrhea one night sent us to the emergency vet.Multiple tests ruled out cancer and other horrors. Initially, they put her on a restricted diet that didn't help. Another bout of bloody spray meant a return trip (it is her policy to have a crisis only on weekend evenings when our neighborhood vet is closed). Eventually an out-of-state test came back: exogenous pancreatic insufficiency. Her pancreas was not producing enough enzymes to digest her food! She was eating ravenously ...but was starving.This time the vet prescribed a pancreatic enzyme supplement in pill form, but we could find no local source for it. We ordered it online, but it was taking days and days to get it filled, with the Holidays looming to guarantee further delays. In desperation, we searched for an OTC equivalent, and to our delight we found several here on Amazon.Dogzymes Pancreas Support from Nature's Farmacy listed active enzyme dosage that is closely equivalent to the prescription pills, but in a powdered form that would ensure it would actually mix with her food and do its job. (She hates taking pills, and crushing them would be a bother; un-crushed might mean they go right through her rather than helping her digest.) All-USA ingredients too.So we ordered it for next-day delivery.Her improvement was evident literally overnight, even with tapered initial doses to ensure against upset. After a week, she's putting on weight, growing fluffy new fur, and acting like a puppy again.We are so grateful! Thank you, Nature's Farmacy and Amazon!Incidentally, the jar's dosage instructions are accurate. I attach a screen-snap of my calculations that verify that about 1/4 tsp per meal (what the jar states for her size) approximates the prescribed two tablets.

For one year my dog struggled with intermittent bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Tests were not showing anything and I tried elimination diet to narrow down any food intolerances. He would do okay for a few weeks and then BAM, back to feeling sick and not wanting to eat. In desperation, I was reading thru the products of a highly recommended company, Nature's Farmacy. As I was looking at the reviews, there were several dogs with the same issue that had life saving results. One day after starting to use this product, I had a completely different dog, bright eyed, eager to eat, normal stools and no more vomiting. I spoke with a company rep who was very helpful and informative. Can't say enough about Pancreas Support Dogzymes which I now couple with their Probiotic Max per recommendation of the company rep. I should add that I put the powder into empty veggie capsules and give one size 0 capsule per meal of each supplement (12.5 lb dog). My dog prefers freeze dried raw food without water added which is the only reason I can't add it to his food. He drinks his water separately....that's just how he rolls...

This works very well for my dog's digestion, as her pancreas doesn't make its own enzymes well. I use at the recommended dose and let her dry food soak with it about half an hour. I love how it is less expensive than the premium brand because she HAS to use this to digest anything... between this and her special food, it adds up over a decade, you know? I also appreciate the larger grain of it (compared to the $$brand) works better and safer. it drops down into the water to dissolve and mix with food instead of blowing in the air or sitting on top of the water. Also, i had to wear a mask with the old kind because it was so fine it clouded into the air and breathing in both the enzymes and the mammal product which i am allergic to, kept giving me horrible asthma. this measures and sinks and dissolves with almost no dust in the air, yay!Edit: I'm still trusting this brand, and I buy in the biggest containers. My dog is now 13 and the ver is very impressed at her health for her age. Her breed life expectancy is 10 to 14 years, and she's still bouncy like a puppy. I know its because this product has helped her digest the nutrients she needs.Thank you.

I used this product for almost a year for my dog with EPI. She was healthy and processing food as she should. Earlier this year, the formulation changed, and I’ve noticed a steady decline in my dog- losing weight again, food obsession, and poor stools. Initially, I thought she would be ok with the formulation change, but she has not. I would not recommend this as an alternative product to support EPI digestion. I have tired several weeks of the new formulation and there is a clear difference and detriment to my dog’s health. The company did not communicate changes to customers, but as anyone who manages EPI knows, you closely monitor all feedings and supplements. This is the only change to her feeding routine I’ve made, and she is worse for it.

My Germane Shepherd has EPI and this product did not help.Update the product takes time to be adjusted, I decided to double the dose since I had a lot of the product and it has been helping her. Since this product is half the price and it has started working I’m changing my review. I can admit when I’m wrong. lol75lb dog needs at least two of those huge scoops per three cups of food.
