About Me:
| My name is Susan Beans and I have had a lot of
experience with cats and dogs. I was a Veterinarian Technician for 7 years. For the past
18 years I have been involved in various dog activities such as breeding and
showing Pembroke Welsh Corgis in confirmation, and competing in agility and flyball.
Our furry family members include: Indy-Anna Bones, our
13 year
old Corgi (recently retired), Henry Higgin-Meister our 11 year old American
Staffordshire Terrier mix, Tizzy Noget Toff, our 7 year old Terrier mix, and
our 2 year old Corgi Jumpin' Jack Flash (in training!). And last but not least, we have a 13
year old cat named Simba who guards the house while we are away at dog shows!

Our
Dog Family: |

Henry
is responsible for our switch to the raw diet. Henry was running
increasingly slower times in Flyball, was getting a little grumpy, and had just
lost his usual zest for life. A friend suggested that I take Henry
to her holistic veterinarian for a check-up. The veterinarian recommended
that I switch Henry to a raw diet. In just 3 weeks I noticed a significant
improvement, and after 2 months, at the age of 7, Henry ran his fastest times
ever, even faster than at the ages of 2 & 3! Henry is no longer grumpy
and his old enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky self has returned! All four of
our dogs are now thriving on the BARF diet, and I am so impressed with the
results that I have decided to promote the raw diet by offering a wide variety
of biologically appropriate raw food products for sale (all of which must meet
the approval of my own dogs!). Henry is still competing in Flyball
at the age of 11 and has earned the title of Flyball Dog Grand Champion
(30,000 points!)

Jumpin' Jack Flash is the newest addition to our household. Jack is a rescue Corgi who was too active for his first 2 families. True to his reputation, he is too wild to hold still for a photo, so the kids are trying to hold him still! He is in training for Flyball where there is no such thing as "too active"! |
