Over a year ago, I contacted K-9 Kraving (Tamara), and in turn Dr. Patton regarding sodium selenite in the ingredients of the food. At the time, my five year old Labrador Retriever, Luna, was diagnosed with mitral and tricupsid valve disease. Our first indicator was a grade 3 heart murmur, verified by both my regular Vet and a Cardiologist, and then a follow up echocardiogram.

At the time, we were advised to look into a low sodium diet, but other than that, there wasn't much we could do. Unfortunately, because of Luna's size, we were told that she would most likely progress quicker in the disease, and to prepare for medication as it worsened.

I switched to K-9 Kraving immediately, and also began a regiment of Vitamin D and Fish Oil daily. Luna absolutely loved the food,and still does. She was always a picky eater (I know, for a Lab!) and would leave food for hours in her bowl until K-9 Kraving came along. Now, it is gone in seconds.

Two weeks ago, at a routine Vet visit her murmur was downgraded to "barely a 2". Today, her Cardiologist saw her, and agreed with the level 2 assessment.

On Luna's echocardiogram, her heart was either exactly the same in measurements, which was very good considering how mild her case was to begin with, and other functions of her heart actually improved. In the words of the Cardiologist, he said this was the best possible scenario we could have ever imagined, and to keep doing exactly what we've been doing. I know this is something we'll continue to deal with, but considering that her condition is actually better than it was a year ago, I can't help but feel optimistic.

There is no doubt in my mind that this wonderful news was a result of the food choice and supplements. I wanted to let you know what happy customers we are, and that we'll continue to spread the word about K-9 Kraving.

The only bad news in all of this is that Luna was cleared for anesthesia, so she will get that dental after all. :-)
