To all who may be affected by the upcoming Hurricane Laura on the gulf coast USA. Please know that Epi4Dogs is here to support you. If this turns into a major event and you need help, please contact Epi4Dogs via Facebook or the Forum and we will get in touch with you privately, as we are putting extra enzymes and B12 aside for those in need.

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.........

This just looks like it is going to be really bad.... and no matter how much we think we have enough "supplies" sometimes it just doesn't work out as expected.....
Also, it was our wonderful staff at Epi4Dogs that came up with this plan, to have meds on reserve for those in need... if needed. We truly have a great team at Epi4Dogs!!!!!

Thank you Olesia for letting everyone know there is help for them with their EPI pets - there will be enough things to worry about for those in the storm's path.
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.
