Ahh...thank you Marilyn..... you made me blush, but Epi4Dogs is truly a wonderful, caring community comprised of so many.... where each has brought something special and sometimes something unique too to this organization in helping others...... we all do it because we care, and because someone along the way helped us out, so we in turn are paying it forward.

You too rn a wonderful giving and educational website http://www.haveaheart.us/ that has helped so many. Thank yo for all that you do and thank you for putting Epi4Dogs on your home page!

P.S. and give Miss Ruby Doo a nice scritch behind the ears from all of us!
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

I wish I had thought of posting the EPI website on my site a long time ago. I have also mention your site in my August 2019 newsletter that I just posted www.haveaheart.us. I am so glad I can be a small part in sharing your life saving info with others.

One thing I had done in the past was after receiving brochure from you about EPI ...I would go to the store to shop and place a brochure with the dog food on a shelf somewhere in hopes that someone would pick it up and read it. I know just a little thing but you never know who will pick it up read it or share it with someone else.

Marilyn, thank you SO much for sharing this site on your page. As you know, EPI is significantly under diagnosed so the more awareness we bring to this condition, the more lives that are being saved. Thank you again for being such a great supporter of the Epi4Dogs Foundation and helping us spread awareness and education of this condition.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.
