We are going out of town for a few days next month and I have our puppies scheduled for their sleepover camp.
I feel fairly confident in their ability to follow directions when feeding Oliver and using his enzymes. He's stayed over with the camp for 1 night since he was diagnosed. I usually separate each meal into a ziplock bag... I was wondering if it's okay to go ahead and put the enzyme powder required for each meal already in the bag? It is dry dog food. It shouldn't do anything until water activates it right? Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!
Roy

Re: Question about boarding epi pups
Hi there. Yes you can put the enzymes in the bag with the kibble. Don't be surprised if you have a some loose stools when you get back just because of the stress, etc. If so, try using Slippery Elm Bark Powder . https://epi4dogs.com/slippery-elm/. It's always hard on us when we have to leave our babies.

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.

Yes, I too measure everything out and put it in bags for whoever is watching my pup. It works fine, they can add the liquid when it's time to feed. Have a good trip!

Riley is a 10 year old Labradoodle. She was diagnosed with EPI in 2014.
She currently eats Taste of the Wild, I cup in the morning, 2 cups in the evening, each meal with 1 Wonderlabs B12 sprinkled over her dinner. Enzymes are EnzymeDiane, 1 tsp per cup of food, mixed in home made bone broth. No other supplements or meds at this time.
Riley currently weighs about 44 pounds, which is pretty heavy for her.
