 PHOTO’S
Photos that are funny shots, beautiful poses, action takes, photos with friends and family, or even just playing with other canine/feline buddies.. all photo’s/multiple photos are welcome. 
 
Photos need to be good resolution (minimum 300kb)… most modern digital cameras are already set to take high enough resolution pictures.
 
And as always, we will honor those EPI companions that we had to sadly say good bye to with one month in each calendar dedicated as the Memorial page.
 
When submitting your photos, please:

1. include your first & last name and your pet’s first name
2. for memorial pictures, please also include beginning and ending dates
3. email you photo’s as attachments

 
CALENDAR price….

I sent out an email on June 27 stating that we are increasing our calendar price because the cost of the calendars went up dramatically….. HOWEVER….. i made a HUGE mistake…. i based our increased price on the way we used to do business, where Epi4Dogs sold the calendars directly and charged one price that included postage & shipping.

MY BAD!!!!!  Since the calendars are now being sold thru the CreatePhotoCalendar store.. the customer pays for shipping & postage, so Epi4Dogs no longer needs to absorb the shipping & postage part of the cost of the calendars….  so we are reducing the price of the calendars!

The revised calendar price will be as follows:

Calendar donation inside & outside the USA will be $25 per calendar.
 
All net donations from these calendars will go in their entirety to our 501c3 public charity organization, The Epi4Dogs Foundation, Inc.
 
Epi4Dogs Foundation Inc.’s mission is the advancement of science and education relating to EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), yielding useful insights and positive outcomes in better managing EPI in dogs and cats.  Our goals are to support and/or collaborate with veterinary EPI research and researchers, and to promote EPI awareness by educating the general public, pet owners, pet organizations, rescue and shelter organizations, veterinary schools and veterinarians.
  
A full accounting of calendar production & processing costs and donations will be posted on the Epi4Dogs website. In the past, we have allocated calendar donations completely to EPI Research and EPI Awareness and we will continue to distribute all donations in the same manner.

Zero dollars go to administration fees as Epi4Dogs is a 100% volunteer organization.
