Dimitri's Story

Hello,
I
wanted to take a minute to share with you my dog Dimitri's story. He
was diagnosed with diabetes over a year ago, and quickly went blind due
to his ailment. Life has changed dramatically for him, my husband, and
myself since his diagnosis. He now requires two insulin shots a day,
glucose testing daily, and a strict diet. Along with the strict diet it
was advised that he could no longer have his beloved treats. That is,
until I discovered your company. I have been a loyal customer for
almost a year now and Dimitri looks forward to his treat everyday after
his shot. So to that I say thank you for developing this tasty high
quality product, and for bringing a little joy into Dimitri's life
every day.
Dimitri is an 11
year old Malamute/Wolf mix in my previous email. At his largest he
weighed 140 lbs, but has since slimmed down to 110 lbs with his new
diet he's on. I attached two more photos of him and our other dog so
you can see the size (sorry for all the photos, proud pet mom here!).
He continues to love playing catch with his ball and to go on walks. We
had a heard time adjusting at first to his blindness, but once he
mapped out his surroundings he was completely fine. He even still
occasionally catches birds and mice and leaves them on the backdoor
steps for us (crazy because he's blind!). I checked out the other story
on your website and it sounds similar to mine. Glad to know there are
others out there who can relate to us. We did look into cataract
surgery at one point, but because of his age we decided not to.
