Can I just say that this is the best website I use, anywhere? It is set up in a logical way, it is efficient, fast, and user-friendly. I could say lots more, but the main thing is---it's the best! Thanks for making it so easy to use! --- Pam
Tucker was a shepherd mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Diane's Enzymes 4 t/day, B12 1 capsule/day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/day. Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 4 c/day. 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma Nov. 2023. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

Now there's Nina. 5 year old GSD. TLI 1.0 B12 323. We are still tweaking her routine, and getting lots of help from the forum. She is klutzy and goofy, and we love her dearly, too.

The best thing about this site are the amazing people who visit this forum. Everyone is so encouraging and willing to help. EPI is so overwhealming at the beginning and finding this forum was godsend. I've received such amazing support and advice over the years, and I hope I've been able to help out a bit, too. This site has something special and I feel very lucky to have found it.
Montgomery was born 20 March 2012. He is SUPPOSED to be eating a home-cooked diet, but refuses. He eats Purina True Instinct Grain-Free Chicken and whatever chicken-based tinned food we can entice him with. Nine pounds of pure stubbornness. He gets two size 0 capsules of Enzyme Diane at each meal and one size 4 capsule of Tylosin three times daily. Sometimes he gets Petromalt. He's our little Spitfire, and when he purrs you KNOW he's got a real Merlin engine. Lately, he's taken to giving hugs.

Me too, V, but it doesn't hurt that there is no frustration in getting to where you need to be without having to wait & wonder. I love this group & the folks that put it together. It has saved us.

Oh My.... what kind words... thanks everyone on behalf of all the wonderful volunteers who give of their time and practical experience and to the vet researchers who also continue to do study after study trying to discover how better to manage EPI, and help us figure out why EPI happens! Because of all this goodwill... EPi4Dogs is able to help so many!
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.........
