ABOUT KODI

the miracle dog

Kodi has had a challenging life journey when it comes to his health.

At age 1, Kodi was diagnosed with seizures for nine months.

Unfortunately, no specialist could help him. We conducted lots of research into treatment, remedies, and diet changes. Finally, this change proved effective as Kodi’s seizures ceased.

When Kodi was 8, he was diagnosed with Mast Cell cancer.

Kodi attended countless Veterinary and Oncology appointments, surgeries, and multiple CT scans. Oncologists’ gave Kodi nine months to live. Kodi’s vet, Frank of East St.Alban’s Vet Clinic, believed otherwise. Frank helped and supported us through this challenging period.

In 2018, Kodi started a new diet. Since starting that diet….. 13.5 year old Kodi, chooses to still be with us today.

Kodi is in remission…. its been 4 years.. Miracle boy Kodi does it again.
