Johnny, per usual you are a guardian for dogs everywhere!! I hope someone will open up their heart and home to this new EPI pup... as we all know, if you treat the whole dog, EPi is not a death sentence and it can be affordable, once you learn the tricks of the trade... but the amazing thing about many EPI pups....if that for some reason, they form extra special bonds with the human companion and often become the once-on-a-lifetime "heart-dog"

Madelon.... test away ...hahahaha.... i am learning and it is getting easier... but i am also adding to my list of "can we do this?" and/or "this ain't working".. :lol:
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.........

ahh thanks for the compliment.. it was a LOT of hard work to re-designing to organize 98 pages........ but i am very pleased with how it came out.

Now all we have to do is fix a few minor bugs over the next few days/week.... and we should really be user-friendly :)
