My girl Skye is her own testimonial for promoting a healthy diet, and a strict vaccine/heartworm protocol. When Skye was 2 years old, she developed seasonal allergies in the fall, so severe, that all four paws were basically open bleeding wounds that led to a life threatening bacterial infection. Months of treatments, medications and procedures followed. At the end of our 7 month ordeal, myself and my vet were absolutely astounded when her blood work came back completely normal. My vet attributed that greatly to having a healthy diet to support her very compromised immune system during her recovery.

The Skye is literally the limit, when you offer your dog a nutritious, healthy, tasty diet and back it up with a strict vaccine/heartworm protocol. Skye is now 12 years old, and for the seventh year in a row, she has barely been affected by the seasonal allergies that nearly took her life 10 years ago.

Meet 3 year old Tucker. He weighs in at 17 pounds and just loves his Canine Life Gluten Free muffins. Grandma Margaret Lee purchases the pre-mix at Ryan's Pet Foods in Burlington, Ontario and delivers it to Tucker in person whenever she visits. What a lucky little guy he is, not only does he have a personal chef (mom) but also his own delivery service (grandma).

Zack had fecal incontinence before we tried Canine Life. The vet here in GR said that the incontinence was due to an autoimmune condition. Surprise! Since using Canine Life, Zack’s incontinence has completely stopped. Furthermore, his energy level has shot up and his coat has become silky soft with his dandruff disappearing! I am still monitoring his PH due to a previous case of calcium oxalate stones.

Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with your product! It has done all that you said it would & more.

We have a Maltese, Elly, and a Bichon Frise, Jed.  Both breeds have trouble with tearing and eye stains.  Since they have both been put on Canine Life muffins, neither of them have any red eye staining at all.  They simply get some “sleep” in there eyes, like we do in the mornings and that is easily taken away.  It’s wonderful, people can’t believe how clear their eyes are. They are both happy, and most of all healthy!  Our vet was trying to sway me to use one of their recommended brands of food when I first brought my second puppy home, Jed.  However Elly was already on the muffins and I knew they were great for her, so when he was having health problems we put him on the muffins right away.  Of course he LOVED them, and wanted to eat his dinner and Elly’s!  

With all of the pet food recalls and scares happening, I am very thankful that I didn’t listen to my vet and followed my own beliefs in your product.  It’s the best thing you can do for your best friends!

Thanks so much!

Jet would like to introduce the newest addition to his family, his little sister Bella.

Julia - Oakville, Ontario

Jet is our 2-1/2 year old Standard Poodle who has had palatability issues with food ever since he was a pup.  A new kibble never lasted very long with him and we usually had to dress it up with tripe or other flavour enhancers.  He was on his last brand of kibble for about six months when he decided he didn’t like it anymore.  We went to the local pet store and got some kibble samples and Canine Life samples.  Usually when presented with a new kind of kibble, he ate it like crazy, but we tried 2 of the 4 samples and he turned his nose up at both.  We decided to try the Canine Life samples and he wolfed them down!  We started him on Canine Life on June 1, 2006 and haven’t looked back.  The first time we saw him eat all his food and lick the bowl, I almost cried.  I’ve come to the conclusion that some dogs just don’t like kibble and Jet is one of those dogs. 

I love cleanup duty!

Jet Dry works without a dishwasher in this family!

Cosmo is my 8 year old Jack Russell.  Cosmo had a history of severe food and environmental allergies every day, all year around. These allergies would cause him to constantly bite at his legs and tail.  He would relentlessly scratch his eyes, mouth, neck, underarms and stomach to the point that his underbelly was always hot, red, raw and sores (hotspots) would appear.  On a daily basis all year round Cosmo’s appearance and suffering broke my heart, his quality of life was clearly compromised.

Over the years, vets have tried dozens of ‘special’ dog foods, and large amounts of anti-inflammatories / anti- histamines in attempt to control his biting and scratching.  We also tried Cosmo on a homemade diet of chicken, veggies and rice.  His symptoms improved, but he was still uncomfortable and not receiving the proper vitamins and minerals from this restricted diet. 

I was recently shopping at Ryan’s pet store (for a toy) and found your Canine Life Information sheet.  All the ingredients in your ‘muffins’ are 100% human grade, organic, with herbs, vitamins and minerals that fulfill complete nutritional requirements.  I was impressed… but not convinced this diet would help Cosmo.  I had nothing to lose by emailing you Cosmo’s situation.  You recommended your gluten free formula, as well as omitting any and all dairy products for a 10 day trial.  I trusted your recommendation.

I picked up the gluten-dairy free muffins and started Cosmo on them immediately.  To my surprise he LOVED them (he is usually a picky eater).  Within 2 days he was scratching less and his eyes cleared up.  Within 7 days his scratching was significantly less.  His mouth, neck, legs and stomach were no longer red, hot and raw, he was actually growing hair!  His stools were formed and his energy increased.  Cosmo has been on the gluten-dairy free muffins for over 30 days and he looks fantastic. 

I don’t know how to thank you enough for improving Cosmo’s health and happiness.  It makes me feel better to know my dog will enjoy the rest of his years medication free and in comfort.  Canine Life, I hope other pet owners with itchy – allergic dogs can find the success I found with your muffins.  When it comes to our beloved pets, Canine Life muffins can make all the difference in the world.

Forever grateful, Tania and Cosmo

Ushna is a 19 month old female Giant Schnauzer. She weighs about 75 lbs. We brought Ushna home when she was 7 weeks old and from the first day we fed her dry dog food. She never liked it very much, and sometimes she would not eat at all. Very often she would have an upset stomach, loose stool, and diarrhea. In addition to all this, when Ushna was 6 months old she got another problem. During the day time while napping, she would have a large amount of discharge with no colour or smell to it. It was happening 5-6 times a week for 2 weeks every month, with 2 weeks break and then it would start all over again. Our doctor said that it might be a weak bladder and suggested to put Ushna on medication for the rest of her life. By that time we were already looking for a natural diet for dogs and luckily for us we found the Canine Life diet and called Liza. We started feeding Ushna Canine Life diet on March 7, 2003. She just loves her muffins! I've never seen Ushna enjoying her food so much. We bake our muffins and I can tell you that when you start doing it on a regular basis, it is very easy to make. When we go for a walk now, people always mention how shiny Ushna's coat is and how fit she looks. And the most important thing is that all her problems have now completely disappeared as soon as we switched to Canine Life diet. We are very glad that we can feed our dog a healthy and nutritious diet.

I wanted to write to your company to tell you how pleased I am with Canine Life and how much my 7 year old Golden Retriever, Webster loves it!  I really believe in this product and have been using it since October of 2002. We have seen such a change in him since we started him on Canine Life. We used to feed him kibble until we found out the terrible things they put in kibble.  Once I found this out I did some research and found out that even the so called “quality kibble” was manufactured in this way. So we started looking for alternatives. We wanted something with natural ingredients and something that would be balanced for a dog. Canine Life has met all our requirements and more, and in my opinion, is really the best thing in dog food.  

I was so impressed with the knowledge your company has about dogs and how you care about each dog personally. So let me tell you why I love Canine Life. First off I love it because my dog loves it! Before we started feeding Canine Life I would often come home after a day of work to find his bowl still full of kibble. He wouldn’t touch it all day. He ate it because he had to, but never really liked it I guess. Now, when I put his food in his bowl he is standing right behind me waiting for me to move so he can get to his bowl! 

Besides loving the food we have noticed many other benefits to our boy. His teeth stay much cleaner. He doesn’t have the same build up of tartar that he used to have. Even our vet commented on how nice his teeth were. His coat is shinier and softer. His nails were dry and brittle before and now they are stronger and more healthy. 

We have been guilty of feeding Webster people food in the past. He had gained a bit of weight, but after speaking with you and figuring out how much he needed to meet his nutritional requirements he is well on his way to being a fit dog. 

Last but not least, it is so nice to pick up the food and have it prepared for me. With my busy schedule, this is such a plus! Each week we get different combinations of meat and vegetables and I think this bit of variety is great for my boy. People don’t like to eat the same thing day after day, so why would we think our dogs like the same thing day after day. So again, please let me congratulate you on Canine Life, and ask you to please keep up the good work. For dog lovers like myself you couldn’t ask for a better product. Canine Life gives me peace of mind and is something I feel truly good about feeding to my boy!

It is with a very sad heart that we must say goodbye to one very sweet little girl. Sienna succumbed to her epilepsy on September 11, 2004. Our thoughts go out to Jay and Angie, Sienna's guardians. Now it's Sienna's turn to be their guardian, she will forever be, their guardian angel.

Jay & Angie - Dundas, Ontario

Sienna is a 4 year old mix of many breeds. She suffers from epilepsy, succumbing to grand mall seizures often. Sienna also has bouts of pancreatitis, but thanks to Canine Life, and specific changes to her diet, she now has the pancreatitis under control. Although Canine Life does not help with her epilepsy, it is definitely a comfort knowing she is eating a healthy, fresh food diet that boosts her immune system from the drugs she takes to keep her epilepsy as under control as possible for her. And wow, does she love her Canine Life. There is never a morsel to be found when she gets through her meal.

Peppi is a miniature Schnauzer who came to our home at 10 weeks old (she is now 8 months). Peppi was fed kibble of some kind prior to arriving home. We immediately switched her to Canine Life muffins and she tore into them like a starving wolf. She has continued to exhibit the same enthusiasm for this, the puppy version of Canine Life and we easily make the muffins she is thriving on.

Shortly after Peppi arrived, we detected crystals in her urine. To head off a potentially dangerous health problem, we adjusted the muffin content with rice and a couple of other ingredients. While she was initially on potassium citrate as well, that has since been discontinued. Peppi continues on the puppy recipe (no longer with the rice) and she is still crystal free. The dog is a picture of health. Her 6 lbs. of weight at the outset is now 12.4 lbs. She is trim and in great condition. While her present height of 10 1/2 inches is probably as tall as she will get, her barrel will likely fill out as she matures.

Canine Life is and will be the food of choice for Peppi, and she whole heartedly agrees.

Miss Lily has been a Canine Life girl since she was brought home from their breeder at 8 weeks old.

Never a morsel of food to be found in this girls bowl after the muffins are served.

Sweet little Sandi passed on to rainbow bridge. Sherry, Sean, and Nicole will miss her deeply, as will I. She was one of the sweetest dogs I have had the pleasure of knowing and doggie sitting. Another star lights our sky at night.

Sandi is a 15 year old Chow Chow that we have had since she was 3 months old. She has had many problems in the past, with allergies to kibble, arthritis in her hips, and finding a food that she enjoyed to eat and would not cause her to vomit or have loose stool. Sandi is a very important member of our family and trying to find a food that would work for her was difficult. She doesn't like commercial dog food or biscuits, and this made the search even more challenging. Thanks to Canine Life, she not only enjoys eating, but has renewed energy. Sandi has been eating Canine Life since October 2002, and it has given us the piece of mind that she is receiving the best food possible and one that will assist her in living a long and happy life. With our busy schedules, its great to have Canine Life prepared for us and it is even more convenient than kibble or canned dog food which is what we used to feed her. For Sandi, only the best will do, and in our opinion that is Canine Life.

Our dog Bubba is an 11 year old Brussels Griffon.  While large for his breed (we think he came from a puppy mill), Bubba has the typical Brussels personality and we love him dearly. Bubba has always loved food and as a result has always battled a weight problem. We tried to keep his weight under control with a high fiber diet from our vet.
In April of 2002, at age 10, Bubba became very ill and had to have his gall bladder removed.  Subsequently he developed diabetes and was started on daily doses of insulin starting at 5 units, twice per day. His blood sugar continued to rise until he was up to 13 units of insulin twice a day just to maintain a glucose level of 15 (still quite high). Then unexpectedly his blood sugar dropped severely leaving him weak and close to going into shock. His blood sugar levels kept fluctuating even though we were carefully weighing his food each day.
At this point we decided to try a different diet.  The first change was to a raw food diet and this worked very well for a few weeks.  His blood sugar levels stabilized and his insulin demand dropped from 15 to 8 units, twice per day.  Then he got sick from a lack of fiber in his diet (he has no gall bladder) and we had to look for another diet.
At this point I called Liza for some help. Liza researched the dietary needs of diabetics and formulated a special recipe using the Canine Life diet for Bubba.  Bubba has been on this diet since July 2003 and is doing fantastic.  His energy is back, his blood glucose has stabilized at a normal level (5.6) with only 6 units of insulin twice per day.  He really loves his Canine Life muffins and looks forward to meal time, and so do we because we no longer have to weigh his food.
We are very thankful to Liza and Canine Life for such a wonderful product. Hopefully, other diabetic dogs will benefit from it as Bubba has.
We also have a Shihtzu named Gucci who was always a very picky eater.  Once he smelled Bubba's Canine Life muffins, he insisted on them too. Now he races downstairs in the morning when he hears the microwave heating up his muffins.
We will definitely be staying with the Canine Life diet for the long term.

Phyllis and Ed had to bid a very loving farewell to their sweet little Maggie. She lived a very full and happy life and succumbed to natural causes. She will be lovingly missed by her entire family.

Maggie is our 14 year-old Cairn terrier, who while slowing down a bit, loves her walks and rides in the car. Occasionally she surprises us by running and doing what we call “Ninja Warrior” leaps in the air.   We brought Maggie home when she was four months old. She is a great companion and good friend.  She has always been a healthy dog and we wanted to maintain that good health into her senior years.  We had her on various dry dog foods that were available at the pet store or grocery store. Because we wanted to keep her with us as long as possible we were concerned about the preservatives and other non-food ingredients that were in the food we were giving her.  When we heard about Canine Life natural food we decided to try their muffins.  We feed her two muffins a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.  She really looks forward to her meals.  In fact if we are a little bit late giving her muffin to her she reminds us by continuously pushing at the back of our legs with her nose, until we pay attention and feed her.  She enjoys this food and it seems to agree with her.  All of her “plumbing” is still working well.  As far as we are concerned this is the best diet for a dog for its whole life.  It can be modified for puppies, mature dogs and senior dogs. And best of all, dogs love it.  We recommend this food to all dog owners. Contact The Skye’s The Limit and try it – your dog will love it.

Maddie is a 14 month-old female Shih Tzu.  I have fed Maddie dry dog food since I brought her home at 8 weeks old.  When she was a puppy she ate her food moistened, and ate twice a day.  After some time, she would only eat a small amount once a day.  I started combining wet food with her dry food, or adding gravy to her dry food, and although this would work in the beginning, it was only temporary.  I was told several times that Shih Tzu’s were very “picky” eaters, and Maddie was no exception.  When she turned a year old, and went to adult dog food, I tried her on several types of dry food, Holistic Blends, Kibble for fussy dogs, and nothing worked.  She started to eat less than a quarter cup of food every other day, so I decided to try Canine Life.  I started feeding Maddie her muffins this past summer and she hasn’t missed a meal yet.  She waits now while I prepare her breakfast or supper, and eats every last bit.  I just started making the muffins myself, and it is so easy to do, I can’t believe it took me so long to try it.  I can use all fresh ingredients, and know that she’s getting a nutritious and delicious meal every time.  Maddie has since put on about 3 pounds, and looks great.  Thank you for all your support and advice, you have been very helpful during this transition.

Abbey is a one and a half year old Golden-Poo and she loves her muffins! Since going on Canine Life muffins, Abbey has lost weight and has a ton more energy.  I will never go back to kibble.  Every two weeks I make two batches of muffins and now that I'm in the swing of things it doesn't take much time at all.  A food processor is a must though.

TSTL Note: A blender is also effective, or, those who happen to have a meat grinder . . . makes the vegetable/fruit mash, a snap. 

I'd like you to meet "Chance", more affectionately known as "The Muffin Man". He was all of 58 pounds in August 2003, and desperately needing to put on some weight, but when I increased the amount of kibble he was eating at the time, it just came out the other end. I realized that was not the answer, so I switched him to Canine Life and the results have been great! He now easily maintains a svelte 65 pounds on 6 muffins a day. My husband jokes (or is that complains,) that I cook more for the dog than I do for him, and people have stopped telling me what a skinny dog I have! As a tracking and obedience dog, Chance needs all the energy he can get while he's working, and Canine Life gives him that.

Indy is a Shih tzu-poodle combo who is 2 1/2 years old. We first heard about Canine Life dog food about 1 year ago and even though our dog is healthy with no problems that we know of....we felt that he was such a huge part of the Gibbs family that we wanted to provide him with the best possible food on the market. Indy was used to eating regular dog food from a silver dish that he nibbled at through out the day. We started feeding Indy his muffins in that same silver dish and he would just nudge the dish around, so I tried a desert dish from our fine depression glass china that I inherited from my grandmother and he just gobbled it up. I have tried several times over the last year to get him to eat from his old bowl but nothing doing. I guess if you are giving him the best food on the market then it should be served on your best dishes!! If by chance Indy is not fed first thing in the morning....after the children eat, he will definitely let you know that he is next. I have not yet attempted making the muffins on my own and we appreciate that you can purchase them all ready made for us with busy schedules. I do have neighbors that make their own and tell me that it is really easy, and I will attempt them when life with the Gibbs twins settles down. Indy also enjoys the dog biscuits made by The Skye's The Limit and at night it is a ritual for him to sit at the bottom of the stairs while the lights and television are being turned off and wait for his bedtime treat. Thanks again for providing such a great product that ensures that our pet is not only a healthy dog but a happy dog who will be with us for many years to come.

The Gibbs family would like to introduce their latest addition. Meet Corbie an 8 week old Shih tzu puppy. Corbie started on Canine Life puppy muffins the day they brought him home, and he was literally swept off his feet by them. Corbie has been a wonderful addition to their family and has settled in like he was always meant to be a Gibbs!

Shadow is a 4 year old male Shih Tzu.  Unfortunately in early 2004, I had determined that he had developed a kidney stone problem which may have been related to his original diet plan.  It was recommended at that time, that I put him on a prescription diet food (which by the way was the same name brand as the original kibble I was feeding him), so I started him on it after his surgery in February 2004. Shadow did not like this food (kibble or can) and was barely eating after the surgery… I was starting to panic.  Then I heard about Canine Life and spoke with Liza about her muffin mix.  It was decided to substitute a few ingredients to address the kidney stone problem and voila….Shadow is now gobbling up every meal and is calcium oxalate crystal free, since March of 2004. Shadow also suffers from chronic struvite crystals, which have presented more of a challenge than the calcium oxalate crystals. Normally calcium oxalate crystals are the most difficult to control, and our vet is very impressed that Canine Life is working. Over the course of many months, we have been tweaking Canine Life to try and control his struvite crystals. At present, it looks like we have the right combination for Shadow and he currently remains struvite crystal free. A great big hug, and lots of thanks goes out to Liza & Company, for all of the support and advice that was provided while dealing with Shadow’s diet plan.

This is Qunicy and Cloee waiting for their dinner. Canine life is a fantastic product. It is nothing but wholesome food. Qunicy and Cloee absolutely love it. I will never be able to feed them anything else ever again. Why would I? There is nothing better for them to eat. This has so much nutrition that I sometimes think that the dogs eat better than me.
