California FIRES & EPI pets

To all who are being affected by devastating fires on the west coast/California. Please know that Epi4Dogs is here to support you. If you have been severely affected by fire and desperately need help with medications for your EPI pet, please contact Epi4Dogs via Facebook or on the Forum and we will get in touch with you privately, as we are putting extra enzymes and B12 aside for those in need.Image

Thank you Olesia for letting those affected by the fires know we are here to help if needed!
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.

Because of the continued fires that just keep happening in California... we are moving this post to stay on top of the forum posts.... it is so sad that Californians are dealing with one fire after another.............

SO, I'm thinking this would be a good time to make a donation, to help pay for supplies. Can I do this via credit card?---Pam
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.
