Epizyme Pancreatic Enzymes for Dogs and Cats
What is EPIZYME?
EPIZYME is an enzymatic concentrate derived from porcine pancreas containing pancreatic enzymes, primarily standardized lipase, amylase and protease. EPIZYME’s manufacturing facility is fully validated, in strict adherence to cGMP, and is FDA, ICH, EMEA, JP and CPMP compliant. EPIZYME is a high quality porcine pancreatic powder, manufactured here in the U.S.A., acetone free.
What is it used for?
EPIZYME is used as a digestive aid to supplement patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). EPI is a condition where the Pancreas does not manufacture enough of these digestive enzymes for the animal to properly digest and absorb the required nutrients from its food. This disease must be managed for the duration of the animal’s life. Without daily treatment the disease is fatal as the animal will slowly die of malnutrition. This makes supplementation critical to the patient. EPIZYME is used as a digestive aid in enzyme replacement therapy where digestion of carbohydrate, protein and fat is inadequate due to EPI.
Historically, the cost of treatment has often been the determining factor when a client makes the decision whether or not to supplement their pet. Typically this is a very expensive treatment. EPIZYME offers clients a cost effective alternative to the other ‘name’ brand pancreatic supplements without compromising quality or efficacy.

Symptoms of PID or Mal-digestion
Dogs and cats with mal-digestion, or Pancreatic Insufficiency Disorder
(PID), suffer from weight loss, discomfort, and hair loss because they
can’t properly digest the nutrients in food. The condition shuts down
the pancreas, which produces digestive enzymes. Epizyme replaces those
enzymes so that your pet can digest needed proteins, sugars and fats
from food. Prescription Epizyme is formulated to be fast acting and
effective and starts to improve your pet’s health with the first dose.
Just mix the required amount into your dog or cat’s food.
Dosage and Administration
Consult with your Veterinarian. No one regimen will be successful for every patient. Adjust according to the severity of the EPI. Adjust dosage until desired results are obtained.
