For the Love of Dogs is honored to be sponsored by the Chateau Morrisette Winery on behalf of medical research benefiting dogs with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). EPI is an insidious disease that destroys the pancreas virtually leaving the dog to die a slow, painful death from starvation and/or organ failure. There is no cure. The only treatment is supplementation with very expensive enzymes incubated on every mouthful of food ingested for the remainder of the dog’s life, along with diet modification. But sadly, even this does not always work.

We are desperately seeking to identify the genetic marker(s) of EPI to allow testing prior to breeding to eradicate this disease. The largest group of dogs affected with EPI are service dogs/working dogs, whether they assisting us in search and rescue, assisting us in therapy, or just being our faithful companion.

Recently, this disease is starting to showing up in all breeds. Please help us help them.

Chateau Morrisette will contribute a percentage of the gross adjusted sales to non-profit veterinary school canine genetics labs responsible for EPI research.
