VetriScience SAMe Liver Health Tablets for Cats & Small Dogs, 90 mg – 30 Tablets

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

The active ingredient in these tablets is S‑Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe), dosed at 90 mg per tablet. SAMe is widely recognised in veterinary practise for its contribution to liver health and joint support. Each tablet features an enteric coating, which resists stomach acid and dissolves in the small intestine, maximising absorption into the bloodstream.

• SAMe (S‑Adenosyl Methionine): Helps maintain normal liver enzyme levels and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.
• Glutathione Production: SAMe is a precursor to glutathione, one of the most vital antioxidants for liver and cellular health.
• Enteric Coating: Protects the active ingredient from stomach acid, enhancing bioavailability and effectiveness.

These tablets are free from artificial colours and flavours, providing a clean option for your pet’s daily routine.

Recommended Dosage and Administration

For cats and small dogs, the recommended dosage is one tablet daily, given on an empty stomach at least one hour before a meal for optimal absorption. The tablets are scored for easy splitting if your vet recommends a half dose. Always follow the label instructions or your vet’s guidance. Consistency is essential for supporting liver health over time.

For larger dogs, VetriScience offers higher-strength SAMe formulations. Be sure to choose the product that matches your pet’s weight range – this formula is intended for pets under 6 kg.

What Is SAMe and How Does It Support Your Pet's Liver?

S‑Adenosyl Methionine, commonly known as SAMe, is a naturally occurring compound vital for liver health. For cats and small dogs, a healthy liver is crucial for detoxification, metabolism, and overall well‑being. VetriScience SAMe Liver Health Tablets provide 90 mg of this key nutrient per tablet, formulated to support normal liver function and promote glutathione production – a powerful antioxidant that helps protect liver cells from oxidative stress.

Unlike some supplements, SAMe specifically targets the liver’s natural detoxification pathways. By aiding glutathione production, it helps neutralise free radicals and supports cellular health. This makes it an excellent choice for pets needing gentle liver support due to age, medication, or environmental factors.

How to Choose the Right Liver Supplement for Your Cat or Small Dog

When choosing a liver supplement, consider your pet’s size, age, and specific health needs. VetriScience SAMe Liver Health Tablets are specially formulated for cats and small dogs weighing under 6 kg. This lower‑strength formula ensures small pets receive an appropriate dose without over‑supplementation.

Look for supplements that are vet‑formulated and manufactured under strict quality standards. Enteric coating is a valuable feature as it improves absorption. Always consult your vet before starting any new supplement, especially if your pet has a known liver condition or is on medication.

Safety and Side Effects

SAMe is generally well‑tolerated in cats and dogs. However, as with any supplement, some pets may experience mild digestive upset, such as loose stools or vomiting, especially when first starting. If side effects persist, discontinue use and consult your vet.

Do not use in pets with a known allergy to any ingredient. SAMe should not be given to pets with certain medical conditions (e.g., pancreatitis) without veterinary approval. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place.
