Good evening everyone,
I lost my beloved, long-term companion Drake last week. He came to me with EPI when he was about 2 years old. The past 10 years with him were used to their full potential. We are on Vancouver Island, Canada and he loved (!) the ocean. I am always so grateful that he chose me as his person, as he was originally from Manitoba and would otherwise not have known his love for the ocean.
I just recently (October 24th) bought four 8.8 (250g) jars from Pantenex in the US. I am looking to resell these unopened jars to recover some of the emergency vet costs that have incurred last week. With shipping and customs charges one jar cost me C$120.00. I am looking for C$80.00 per jar.
I am happy to include the recently opened jar (barely used) for free. The buyer would cover shipping cost. Willing to ship to the US and anywhere in Canada.
Thank you for your support. Hug your dogs for me.

Thank you Beatrice... we appreciate your help with this.
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.........

Julia,
I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to your beautiful pup, Drake. Your heart must be so broken. These EPI dogs seem to form extraordinary bonds with their human companions.... i love the way you said that he chose you as his person... i think they really do somehow, someway chose us,,... and we are the ones who are lucky to have them in our lives! They truly enrich our lives.
Many, many comforting cyber hugs...............

Julia, you have my sincerest condolences. I lost my boy three weeks ago, and I wish someone could tell me, when will I stop missing him?
Your Drake was a handsome lad; you were both the lucky ones. --- 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.

Everyone, I am incredibly grateful for your comments. What a comforting feeling! Fortunately, a buyer in Prince George purchased the enzymes.
