Chunky Monkey Club

Exclusive membership for the 'overachievers'

Welcome to the Chunky Monkey Club!

This is a fun page…… the Chunky Monkey Club… was started for EPI Dogs because so many of us started on this journey with dogs looking like they were knocking on deaths door….and we were scared….very scared that our babies just were not going to make it!  And then, once we found the balance to managing EPI they stopped losing weight…. then they started to gain weight…. and many (much to our pleasure) gained and gained…. and gained some more weight!  AND THEN…. many of us even had to put our once starving dog on a D-I-E-T!!!!!  Can you imagine?  So this “Chunky Monkey Club” was started in fun to simply celebrate !

New members: (to include your dog’s name (and picture if you’d like) please email to: olesia.kennedy@gmail.com and they will be uploaded here).

Founding CMC member…Olesia’a Izzy

Epi4dogs was started because of this plain, little, brown dog who was the first Spanish Water Dog world-wide to be diagnosed with EPI….EPI???? What is EPI?  I had no idea back then…..all i knew is that my little dog was sick, she only weighed 27lbs and i thought she was going to die.  After we got her on the right treatment, time flew by and my plain little brown dog got healthier and healthier…. she ended up hovering around 48/+ lbs and had to go on a diet multiple times throughout the years.  Izzy passed away at the age of 15, but she was the most vibrant and playful pup well into her senior years and did not falter until 1 week before she passed away.  She taught me so much … especially the meaning of living life to it’s fullest…. my forever heart dog………………………….

This is our sweet Ebi. When she was diagnosed she weighed only 36 pounds at
about 9 months. Today she is up to 60 pounds!!!!! Although she still needs to
gain another 8 to 10 pounds … and gaining weight is a struggle with her

In our eyes, she has achieved her personal Chunky Monkey status… going from 36 to 60
