The first time Lena was introduced to feeding RAW was at a UKC Weight Pull competition by her friend Lori, years and years ago. At that time, Lori had 3 gorgeous red-nose pit bulls; Rocko, Tara and Fury. Their coats sparkled and glistened in the sun. It was very hard to believe that the healthy look was only one small benefit of feeding the RAW diet.
From the time Lena rescued Diesel, he had severe allergies and would spend hours biting and gnawing at his skin until it was bleeding. Meds, baths and cremes were all temporary, minor relief. His coat was very dull and the shedding continued all year round with uncontrollable dandruff. A permanent solution was needed.
At first, the idea of feeding raw bones seemed outrageous. Could Diesel choke? Will the picky highness even try it? Lori brought a few chicken backs for Diesel to try and sure enough he chomped them with pleasure.
That night Lena spent hours researching all about feeding RAW. She decided to give it a try. With Loris guidance, within two weeks, she noticed results. Diesel was no longer producing disgusting, huge piles of putrid waste. His stool volume was much smaller, almost odorless and crumbled like sand. His natural energy level increased. Within 2-3 weeks his coat was beginning to glisten like Loris dogs. Because of the RAW bones, his teeth became pearly whites and there was no need for dental cleanings. He lost the unhealthy fat around his ribs and rarely had any eye discharge.
As the days went by and Lena continued to feed Diesel RAW, nothing prepared her for the day Diesels Veterinarian called. He was very concerned that Diesel hasn’t been in the office for almost a year and was wondering what has happened. The RAW diet has cured his allergies. He no longer itched or scooted his behind. He was spending all that time being a dog, playing with toys and bothering the birds outside.
Diesel competes in the canine sport of UKC Weight Pull and has won many titles. His most weight pulled is 5,300lbs. Yes, you read that right, over 2 tons! Diesel is not an amazing athlete because of this diet, however, it is because of this diet Diesel is very healthy which allows him to be GREAT at his favorite sport and any other daily activity.
A few years past and Keelo came into Lena’s life. Keelo was a 4 week old, sick, little puppy. She was possibly abused as she came with a rather large scar on her forehead. It took over a year for her to finally submit to being pet on her head without docking the hand. At the time, Lena had no idea what to feed a puppy that age. She immediately pulled a Chicken Back out of the freezer and let it thaw. She then put the Chicken Back into a zip lock bag and beat it with a hammer until the meat was mushy, but still held together by the bone. She placed it on a towel outside and watched Keelo hungrily rip little chunks off as if she has never seen food before. Keelo still treats every meal as if she’s never eaten.
Since then, Lena has had the opportunity to help many struggling with allergies and other minor health issues. She has watched many dogs start their lives new and decided to dedicate her business to RAW diets and helping pets and their owners get the most out of one life time.
“It’s very hard to believe someone’s promise alone, but it’s amazing when you begin to see the results with your own eyes in a matter of 1-2 weeks. RAW diet has completely changed Diesels life and many of my clients. Not all my clients come to me because their fury babies have some sort of a medical condition; most just want a healthy immune system and longer life expectancy for their furry best friends. Thanks to this diet, I have not only managed to keep two very beautiful, healthy and happy dogs, but saved thousands of dollars in medical expenses and have many clients who have similar miracle stories to tell about feeding RAW. I hope everyone sees the amazing benefits. Seeing is key to believing!”
