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/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.

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 eats extra lean ground chicken, lean ground pork and lean ground beef completed with Alnutrin and freeze-dried chicken liver, with hard-cooked egg. He gets two size zero capsules of Enzyme Diane's enzymes at each of his six meals, and a size four capsule of Tylan three times a day. He's a fierce little Spitfire with a roaring Merlin engine.

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.........
