Enzym Powder

Post by kparkes » 05 Nov 2021, 15:00

Good Evening, I am new to the group and wondered if you could help me.
I live in the UK and have been using Panzym Powder but recently every where is out of stock and I am having trouble getting it.
Is anyone using anything else that you could suggest please.
Thanks
Karen

Chemeyes is in the UK and has their own brand of enzymes. I'm in the US and haven't had any direct contact, but they are well regarded on the forum. They also have Vitamin B12 with intrinsic factor if your pup needs B12 supplementation like many EPI dogs do.

R.I.P. Nikki 11/21/2009 - 05/23/2023

Nikki was diagnosed with EPI in 2010
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat canned
Slippery Elm syrup for stomach issues
1 tsp Pan-Tenex enzymes with each meal
Weekly B12 shots, pills didn't work for her
Tylan for life

Chemeyes.co.uk for powder and capsules
vet uk for own brand concentrated pancreatic supplement enteric tablets for epi (contain 88000 units of lipase unlike their digestive powder product) . They also stock Lypex which is pricey.
After my dog refused panzym powder, she had capsules all her life.
Springer spaniel Marti had Epi, PLE , MMM just to confuse me. She lived till 12yrs, chubby and happy despite eight years of epi.
Capsule enzymes suited her best. B12 supplements made her into a new dog!
After a cocker with PLN kidney disease, I now have two healthy rescues, a lively, suicidal , small ginger terrier, adopted with pneumonia, and gum disease needing nearly all his teeth out, and a fluffy grey toy poodle/terrier from Greece.

Good morning we are also from Liverpool UK

I think I saw this on another site

We used Panzym for years and its a nuisence they seem to be having difficulties in process , but they are not alone

I have checked a couple of sites and it seems to be not available

As said Chemeyes are produced in house in Surrey so they are your best bet , Their owners are brilliant to deal with, and Suj is my friend of a long time

Let us know

maybe give us some details as to your journey

Kenzie diagnosed Sept 2015. Fed 3 times a day on Millies Wolfheart, Panzym enzymes 1+ tsp per 120grams food, 1/8 tsp tylan twice a day, altenate 1/2 b12 per day. Also on 1 previcox a day for arthritis in paws and 1 Apoquel for allergies. Diagnosed with poor heart contractibility Sept 2020, on 1 Vetmedin twice a day. 2nd heart scan March 21 shows little deterioration so appear to be working.
