SAMe Liver Supplement for Dogs
Special SAMe (S-Adenosyl methionine) Supplement For Dogs
200 mg 30 Vegetarian Capsules For Dogs Over 15 Pounds
(For cats and small dogs, please contact your veterinarian for an alternative SAMe product.)
What Is Special SAMe?
SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) for dogs is a powerful antioxidant scientifically proven and widely prescribed for osteoarthritis, liver support and detoxification, and cognitive disorders. It is especially important to use if your dog is taking pain or anti-inflammatory medications, which can negatively affect your dog's liver function.
Our Special SAMe is manufactured with exceptional care and is third-party tested to guarantee potency and purity. SAM-e for dogs is extremely sensitive to degradation from air and moisture, which is why the quality of the manufacturing process is so important. Special SAMe capsules are packaged in environmentally-friendly, dark glass bottles. Due to their nonporous and impermeable nature, glass bottles preserve freshness and may help protect nutrient viability. These capsules provide 200 mg of SAM-e along with vitamins B6, B12 and folate which are nutrient cofactors required for the efficient function of SAMe.
Special SAMe for Dogs May Be Beneficial For:
- Dogs with elevated liver enzymes, liver disease or liver shunts
- Dogs with hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and arthritic conditions
- Senior pets that are depressed, slowing down or having coordination issues
- Senior dogs with mental confusion or dementia
- Dogs with cancer (especially liver cancer)
Antioxidant Supplement For Dogs
Special SAMe is an important supplement to use if your dog has elevated liver enzymes. SAMe is commonly recommended by veterinarians, and has been proven to reduce elevated liver enzymes*, relieve arthritic pain and support brain health.
Special SAM-e is a helpful arthritis and joint pain treatment because it promotes cellular growth repair and helps to protect the cartilage in the joints. It can be used along with other joint support supplements like ArthoSoothe and Ultra-Flex Collagen.

- Protection and Detoxification of the Liver
The liver is the body’s main organ of detoxification. Special SAMe helps support liver health by supplementing metabolic activity, helping maintain glutathione levels* (which is known to be protective and detoxifying for the liver) and supporting cell regeneration. SAM-e is widely recommended by veterinarians for dogs because it is safe and effective, with the only reported side effect being rare instances of stomach upset.
- Liver Support For Pets Using Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed by veterinarians for pain. These medications can provide pain relief but should be used sparingly, as they can affect your dog's liver function. Many NSAIDs are processed through the liver, so using Special SAMe can be helpful. SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine for Dogs) is scientifically proven to support liver detoxification and may help your dog with arthritis and mobility. It is an excellent companion product to give your dog if you are using an NSAID drug.
- Arthritis and Joint Pain Management
Arthritis is a chronic degenerative disease that can cause joint pain, which limits your pet's mobility. The pain may cause your dog to have stiffness, difficulty walking upstairs and discomfort getting up and down. Special SAMe can reduce pain and inflammation associated with arthritis by increasing proteoglycan production, a component important for lubricating your dog's joints. In some human studies, SAM-e was shown to be as effective as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, with lower toxicity risk.
- SAM-e for Canine Cognitive Dysfunction
As dogs age, their natural levels of S-adenosyl-L-methionine begin to decline. SAMe is essential for the synthesis of choline and melatonin. Choline supports brain and nerve function, and melatonin regulates sleep. SAMe is also believed to increase the turnover of serotonin and increase levels of dopamine. SAMe can help to regulate the sleep-wake cycle and may help pets (especially seniors) with mental confusion and dementia. Over the years, many clients have reported that their senior dogs have more energy and an increased bounce in their step after being given Special SAMe. Scientific studies* have shown that SAMe is a safe and effective oral supplement for improving signs of mental decline in dogs older than eight years.

Bella
"Today is the five year anniversary since I adopted Bella as a 12 year old senior from Precious Paws Asians and Small Dog Rescue, for whom I regularly foster and rescue. Four of my six dogs, including Bella and Lilibeth are from the Rescue.
Bella’s health has been outstanding since I adopted her. In May 2019, out of nowhere, Bella took an extreme turn for the worse. The always smiling friendly personality no longer existed. I took her to my vet who diagnosed her with Canine Dementia. Her liver numbers were through the roof. She went blind in her other eye. This little resilient dog that always loved walks, no longer would go on walks. She had to be carried outside and carried inside. She was still eating, but she was existing, not really living. It absolutely entered the equation that a difficult decision might have to be made.
My view has always been that as long as there is life, there is hope. I started researching treatments for Canine Dementia. I came across Ask Ariel, first Brain Booster, then Special SAMe, which seemed like the absolutely perfect remedy for Bella, as not only did it address the Dementia and arthritis, but also provided support for Bella’s elevated liver numbers. So after a few weeks of zombie Bella, I started her on Special SAMe. Within a short period of time, Bella started to come out of her funk. The first day she walked again on the leash was so special. The results have been nothing short of miraculous.
As a lawyer, our cases often hinge on “causation”, meaning what caused the damages that are the subject of the case. Looking at Bella’s recovery, I can state without reservation, that the cause of her miraculous turnaround, was when I started her on Special SAMe. That was the precise turning point.
Since that time Bella has shown no signs of relapse. I also recently rescued Lilibeth a Senior Blind Shih Tzu, who has likewise shown remarkable improvement since I started her on Special SAMe. I swear by Special SAMe without reservation. My vet likewise verified that the product works. No dog owner whose dog develops Canine Dementia should ever consider giving up on their dog without first trying Special SAMe. I hope Bella’s story helps." - Michael S. Kasanoff, Esq., New Jersey
Davy
"Our 14 year old dog Davy has to take liver support and we were using a prescription medication but he was getting a very upset tummy and having diarrhea. He is doing much better using the Special SAMe. He is not having the tummy noises and is acting a lot better." - Elaine, California

Kobe
“This is Kobe, our 13 year old Shih Tzu. He will be 14 in July. He has been blind and deaf for two years. Kobe is really sweet and attached to me like glue. We have used Ask Ariel products since Kobe was less than one year old. He was diagnosed with liver problems. I had been using these products for our female Shih Tzu, so I trusted them. We use Power Probiotic, Liver & Gallbladder Supplement, Special SAMe, Amazing Omegas, and AllerEaze for his allergies.”
Connie, California
Maestro
“Our doggie Maestro was showing signs of dementia. Our veterinarian recommended we try SAMe. It has really helped him. The SAMe has given Maestro a lot of energy, improved his interest in things and he just seems so much better. Thank you."
Amy, CA
Dot
"Dot was diagnosed with bladder crystals at 10 weeks of age (she is now 7 years old). I put her on antibiotics but the problems would recur. Then I found you on-line. I began Power Probiotic and fish oil (Amazing Omegas) supplementation (and changed diet after it was discovered that Dot had allergies). She did not have another episode of bladder problems.
At age 2 she was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. I started her on ArthroSoothe For Pets and she has done very well. If there was a flare up, I added Canine Comfort, which helped quickly. Also started CBD Oil. Just recently putting weight on that leg is now painful for her, so I am adding Canine Comfort on a more therapeutic schedule and adding Special SAMe.
I feel the supplements have been beneficial in helping keep her active and in good muscle tone. I often wonder what we would have done without the help of you and the products."
Thanks,
Linda, Arkansas
Rudy
"I recently purchased your products to help my 16-18 year old rescue dog Rudy with his cognitive decline. He would be up all night pacing, getting stuck in corners and unhappy. He’s such a cute dog with a wonderful jovial personality so seeing him so unhappy broke my heart. I started my dog out slowly. After 48 hours, I started noticing a difference. He was more alert, less anxious and started sleeping through the night. Now he’s on the full regimen and he’s almost 100% himself again. I am amazed at the difference these products have made. It’s been 2 weeks and the difference is amazing. I have my happy-go-lucky prancing boy back. I know because of his age we don’t have a lot of time together, but by using your products, these twilight years look like they will be a lot happier. Thank you!!!"
Products Rudy uses are: Amazing Omegas, Special SAMe, PSY-stabil Calming Drops, Brain Booster, Happy Paws Drops

Archie
“We wanted to let you know how great Archie is doing with all the help you have given us. With Archie being a Scottie we have had to deal with Scottie Cramp and the possibility of Cushings. When he developed Scottie Cramp the breeder told us to not expose him to any of the causes that made the Scottie cramp happen. Instead, with your help, we exposed him to the causes which are anything that made him excited. By doing this we made the causes a norm in his life which have diminished the cramp or done away with it all together. His legs are now strong and he can go up and down the stairs without any help. By watching his blood tests we have been monitoring his ALK Phosphates and Cortisol levels. When they started to increase, we added Canine Cushing support. After being on the product six months his water intake is back to normal and so far his blood work is stabilizing. Along with the Cushing support he is on a raw diet and a number of other supplements (Lypozyme, Special SAMe for dogs, Gastro ULC, and Amazing Omegas) you have recommended for balance.
We want to thank you so much for all the help and care for “Archie”.
Rich, Patty and “Archie”, California 2016
Gunner
“My name is Gunner. Here I am at my 16th birthday party having a blast. My mom did a consultation with Susan Davis and I am feeling so much better. I currently take Liver and Gallbladder, Special SAMe, and LypoZyme, which are all pills that help the liver. Since I have been on these pills, I have been feeling really great. My appetite increased and I have a lot more energy. My mom says that without these great products, I wouldn't be here and both of us highly recommend them!”

Greta
“Thrilled to have had ONE additional year...IN January 2*0*1*2, I was informed that my girl, GRETA who is closest to me, sleeps by my side, accompanies me most anywhere, etc had TWO to FOUR weeks to live at the most..I was told she had inoperable liver cancer that had already spread to her lungs and was quite widespread. I was shocked and devastated that my girl that I had taken special care of since she was about 1 yr was now going to leave way before I had hoped...Barely being able to comprehend the bad news, I prepared for the last few weeks with her. BUT, my FIRST phone call was to Susan Davis (animal nutritionist) who recommended the necessary supplements to wage WAR and give it a good fight. I listened to everything Susan told me to use and feed her...AND NOW we have surpassed the ONE YEAR mark!!! Greta has slipped down hill as of late and I realize the time is near but I AM COMPELLED to inform and shout from the mountaintops, "NEVER give up and PLS Try holistic/homeopathic remedies!”

Product FAQs
What is SAM-e for dogs?
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-e) is a compound that is made naturally in the body. It is the bioactive form of the amino acid methionine. SAM-e helps to supplement metabolic activity and it supports cell regeneration. Most SAM-e is produced and consumed in the liver. SAMe can be beneficial for dogs with elevated liver enzymes, liver disease or shunts, hip or elbow dysplasia, arthritis and senior pets showing cognitive decline.
Can you give SAM-e to dogs?
SAM-e can be safely administered to dogs, under the supervision of a veterinarian. Please work with your veterinarian to determine optimal dosage for your dog and to oversee your dog's progress on the supplement. Not all SAMe supplements are manufactured in the same way and some SAM-e products for dogs may not contain the ingredients stated or at the potency stated. Be sure to look for a SAMe-e supplement for dogs that has been third-party tested for purity and potency. SAM-e may be beneficial for dogs with liver disease, osteoarthritis joint pain and canine cognitive disorders.
Can a dog recover from liver damage?
Your dog's liver is important in the digestion and conversion of nutrients, removing toxic substances from the blood, and the storage of vitamins and minerals. When your dog has elevated liver values and damage, the liver is not functioning at an optimum level. Liver support supplements for dogs that contain ingredients such as SAMe, milk thistle, dandelion and artichoke may help detoxify the liver and promote cell regeneration.
