If you are a German Shepherd owner, you should be aware of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), a potentially life-threatening disease. EPI is caused by the pancreas not producing enough digestive enzymes, which can lead to malnourished and other health problems. EPI is a common health issue in German Shepherds, so If your fur friend has symptoms of EPI, it is important to get him or her diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Thankfully, EPI can be successfully managed with proper care.
In this podcast, we talk with Olesia Kennedy founder of EPI 4 Dogs who schools us on everything EPI. Her website, epi4dogs.com is a wealth of invaluable information for those who have a fur friend with EPI or suspect their fur friend has EPI. There's even a forum you can join and chat with other EPI dog moms and dads who share their stories and advice....and IT'S ALL FREE TO YOU..... So be sure to check it out and share it with others, so they are in "the know" too!
“If a dog has a pork allergy and has trouble using the powdered porcine enzymes….there are other options that EPI 4 DOGS can try to help you with. This part was inadvertently cut off and not fully explained in podcast.”
