EPI Brochures are now available... Just go to the "EPI Brochure" tab and click on the PDF link. 


When printing this tri-fold brochure,  the back side of the brochure will be printed on one side of the paper- -reinsert the paper back into your printer to print the other side of the brochure on the other side of the paper. Various printers are set up differently, so you may have to play around with how you insert the paper back in your printer (reversed or reversed & upside down, etc).


Hand these out at dog events, to your vet, other dog owners, pet stores, shelters, etc. These brochures may be mass-produced. Feel free to  share this PDF brochure on other websites, message boards. etc.  The main purpose is to bring awareness to EPI.


If anyone would like a "personalized" brochure with a picture of their dog or a specific breed for a breed club, dog event, veterinary office, etc,  please email me (olesia@insightbb.com) a photo and/or contact information that you would like printed on the front flap of the brochure. I will personalize the brochure for you and email it back to you.


If anyone has any comments or requests, please feel free to post. Thanks!


~Olesia

Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Being disabled, I don't get out much, though I want to get a new printer cartridge next month to print out some brochures. What I CAN do is also add a link on Kenai's blog--it's not exactly Amazon, but a couple hundred hits a day can help spread the word.

Lisa, not mentioning my weight, but enjoy a good chocolate milkshake from time to time. Kenai (tli 5.4) 7 cups Eagle Pack Lamb and Rice, 19 mo old in July, 134 pounds was best weight (still 30 pounds under his expected adult weight).  BB (tli 12.5) 8 1/2 cups EP Lamb. Also 19 mo old in July, and nothing, nothing gets him above 120 pounds. Beebs even looks underweight! Big stinky boy, lots of body odor, and highly anxious by nature.

Can anyone help? I'm looking to link the EPI Brochure into the EPI Appeal material on our website so that unaware UK visitors can download it from our Site.

Many thanks!

Warmest best wishes ~ Julie
