Our beloved Rider was diagnosed with kidney disease and we followed traditional veterinary protocol: giving him fluids, steroids and pharmaceuticals, but he worsened quickly and he was knocking on death’s door. We were willing to try anything. That’s when we found Dr. Lori Blankenship, DVM at her clinic, Animals First. www.animalsfirstvet.com 

She immediately tailored a recipe for his specific issues and we tossed the kibble. With his new regimen of homemade food, Chinese herbs, homeopathy, and other healing modalities, he was able to live another year comfortably and happily. We know if we hadn’t found Dr. Blankenship and learned that he was eating was poison, we could have very well lost him within weeks of diagnosis.

​

We now let his memory carry on in how we prepare this food. We honor him through spreading the word that heavily manufactured dog food (with fillers) is a major culprit of pet’s health and what keeps them going back to the vet. Dr. Lori believes that our food is what extended Rider's life and was surprised that he lived so long in his clinical condition .  We believe we are extending the lives of pets everywhere and it warms our hearts to know Rider can still be a part of that mission, even from where he is now.
