August 2024-

“Tucker, my giant schnoodle, had his first seizure at 14 months old (2018) That changed in 2021 when he had seven seizures in a single year. I then found Mike at KetopoweredK9 and thanks to him Tucker started a 2:1 protocol in August 2021”

Note: We spent some time adjusting Tucker’s ketogenic ratios until we found what suited him best- every dog is unique and will respond differently to the diets. Kpk9

“we switched him to a 3:1 protocol. That made a big difference for him and in 2023, he only had three seizures. So far, this year (2024), he has only had one and that was in January. I attribute that to him mistakingly having extra calories that day.*

We also incorporate a lot of exercise, which includes morning walks for at least three miles as well as then a two-mile run or an afternoon swim depending on the time of year. I have no doubt that these things have made a huge difference in Tucker’s health and reduction in seizures; therefore, it is worth every minute it takes on my part.”

My observations:

It’s great to hear these success stories when something as simple as the right ketogenic diet can have a life changing impact on the dog suffering from the disease and let’s not also forget, the owner who often has the traumatic experiences having to care for their beloved dog going through these terrible episodes . And we see these great improvements in so many dogs suffering from epilepsy when they’re placed On the right ketogenic diet for them

*Gayle had mentioned that Tucker’s 1 seizure he had in 2024 was most likely attributed to her mistakenly over feeding Tucker that day and the reason this would happen is because when we’re feeding a tightly regulated ketogenic diet in the case of epilepsy, it’s important that the dog is in Ketosis and over feeding and going over the daily calories can easily kick a dog out of Ketosis and unfortunately that will subsequently greatly increase that an episode will occur when the dog is not in Ketosis.

Ketogenic diets are a powerful tool against epilepsy

✅safer than dangerous prescription anti epileptic drugs which often drastically alter a dogs behavior and is harsh on their liver & kidneys
✅ we often see seizure mitigation in drug resistant cases when prescription anti-epileptic drugs did not work at all.
✅ reap the health benefits of a raw diet WHILE controlling seizures!
✅ Diet tailored to your dog, your dog’s food preferences and most importantly, your sourcing capabilities- we don’t all have access to the same exact ingredients
✅ easy to follow program that guides you through every step of the way. Complete with 7day/week email support through the Ketogenic Meal Plan Program- you CAN do this!

This isn’t magic. It’s food. And it’s been used in the human field for well over 100 years to treat and manage epilepsy. And now we’re routinely seeing it as an equally successful safe and natural approach to managing canine epilepsy. ❤️🐾❤️
