My dog Angel was going after her bowel movements. I started giving her "Matty's Blend probiotic" everyday. She now leaves them alone. Thank you Thrive4life Holistic Pet Food for helping my dog.

I met Lucy through a friend , who suggested having a consultation. I’m thinking it wasn’t necessary, that my dog seemed healthy and fit. She persuaded me to go and to my surprise, certainly opened my eyes !
With just one visit I discovered my girl had skin , eating and stool and anal gland issues. Lucy set her up with a regiment and in one months time her problems have greatly improved! No more licking , stools are consistent and the overall picture is very content. All this in a month! I’m so excited to see her long term outcome.
Lucy you’re a miracle worker !

Honestly one of the best supplements! Have a King Charles spaniel who has hip dysplasia and patella issues. Since on this supplement she jumps like a pup again. I've spent $1000's on aqua therapy and chiropractic adjustments, and I see more benefit from the supplement than I have from that! Love this stuff. So do they!
Honestly can't thank you enough for giving me my dog back! She's like a puppy again. This is the Tia I know! Client for life!! Xoxo

Lexi
Hi Lucy,
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for your help with Lexi. I know it’s only been a short time since we changed Lexi’s regime but I’ve already seen changes. She has a bunch more energy and I can actually see her smile, which is crazy cause I haven’t seen it for years.
What has shocked me the most is that she’s actually excited about her meals. She used to only eat her breakfast about 40% of the time, and now…..now she comes running and I mean RUNNING when I say “Dinner”! It’s mind blowing for me.
I also love the supplements Matty’s Blend and Missy’s Chance, great potency in such a small scoop. I had been looking for a probiotic for a long while but she never liked any of them and you always had to give so much.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Lucy.
I wanted to let you know how Cooper is doing since the consultations and follow ups where you customized his protocols. You are amazing and your products have all worked with cooper. My main reason when I first came in was Coopers gut and allergies along with a black belly in certain spots. Mattys blend, Missys chance and a detox protocol was given along with Resilience that was introduced after. I can’t believe how Cooper has changed for the better. Another issue that I had found months ago was that I found a hard lump in the middle of his jaw the size of a pea but with his protocol it disappeared. I was so relieved and happy that it was gone.
I can’t thank you enough for all your knowledge in getting Cooper healthier.

Remy after.
My 9-year-old Labrador, Remy, has been on a high-quality diet since I adopted him six years ago. However, three years ago, he began experiencing moderate allergies, for which I was prescribed medication to manage the condition. We were uncertain whether his allergies were seasonal, food-related, or due to environmental factors. His belly skin was darkening and worsening each week, and I noticed a decline in his energy levels, along with dullness in his eyes. Friends who have known Remy since his adoption remarked that he was beginning to resemble a senior dog. Consequently, I scheduled an appointment with Lucy in March to explore potential solutions for Remy's allergies. She assisted me in transitioning him to a freeze-dried raw food diet and recommended specific supplements to address his needs. The initial couple of months presented some challenges, and it took a while to observe any significant improvement. Now, I am astounded by the results: the cloudiness in his eyes has cleared, his skin is healing with new pink areas emerging, and he exhibits the behavior and vitality of a 5-year-old Labrador. Remy is thriving, and I am profoundly grateful for the positive changes.

Chloe

I rely on Lucy for sound advice on how to feed and supplement my dog Chloe for health and longevity. Matty’s Blend and Missy’s Chance have become core supplements in Chloe’s diet. When we adopted her in Fall 2022 at 5 years old, she had sores on her paws from yeast infections which started me on a quest to determine how I could help heal her more naturally and keep her healthy for many more years. Lucy guided us on our journey to switching to a raw diet and understanding the importance of high quality supplements. Knowing that Lucy’s knowledge and high standards are in every jar of Matty’s Blend and Missy’s Chance makes them my preferred supplements. Chloe is healthy and happy and no longer has paw sores! Eternally grateful, Lynn and Chloe.
Ottis
"Hi Lucy,
Happy Monday! I just had to share the news with you about Otis. He is actually pooping like a normal dog. Nice log shaped BM's and no more "sludge"! My husband and I were walking the dogs this morning (he has been away all last week) he was so surprised and happy to see this. Such a good sign already.
With his rectal prolapse it seemed like it would take him a bit longer to have a BM, almost like he didn't know he was finished. Now he goes and carry's on. So nice to see this improvement after only a few weeks.
Cheers,
Charlene "

"My cat has always had a sensitive stomach and puked almost every day. We tried changing her food but it did not help. I had bought Matty's Blend for my dog but started to add it into my cat's food as well, and immediately her puking stopped entirely. I was in disbelief at first, but now it has been a full two months without her puking and I am absolutely thrilled. Her quality of life has improved greatly and I am so happy she feels better". -Sarah.
Jake

"The diet of Jake is a topic of passion for me for two reasons; I love my fur baby, and he has experienced gastrointestinal issues. I have an otherwise very healthy male Standard Poodle, and I, like most pet owners, want the very best for my beloved family members. So, I was very concerned when Jake had bad days vomiting after eating and not-so-pleasant poops. Full disclosure here, I am not an expert on this topic and intend to tell a story about our journey.
As a first-time dog owner, I had yet to learn the normal dining behaviour of Standard Poodles. However, my intuition told me it's not normal for dogs to throw up after eating or have their stomach gurgle and rumble most of the day.Here's what I found out in my research, all dogs can be picky sometimes. However, Poodles are less food motivated than other breeds resulting in their owners changing their food choices to coax them to eat. Poodles being fussy about what they eat is a common issue reported by many owners.
When my husband and I first brought our poodle pup home, we allowed him to graze all day on the same food he ate at the breeders. While this method was okay, it could have been better for Jake. Our dog was eating very little and seemed uninterested in his food. In fact, at Jake's first veterinarian visit, his vet told me he needed to gain weight. Diving deep into a tailspin, I was worried our new little fur baby was malnourished, and we were the worst pet parents in the world. While on a dog walk one day, my husband started a conversation with our neighbour who was walking her dog. The discussion of dog food came up, and she recommended a dog kibble brand; it was not like typical kibble in how the company baked it. While chit-chatting, our neighbour offered Jake a kibble to try, and he loved it! Of course, we thought, this is it; we must get this food for our fur baby. The brand we introduced into Jake's diet is lightly baked just enough to kill pathogens yet preserve the nutrients. Also, it is made with fresh human-grade meat, sprouts, vegetables, fruits, and a small amount of rice.
All was good for a while; Jake loved his new food and ate it consistently until he didn't. He would go a day or more without eating, and his poops became runny. Once again, we found ourselves worrying about Jake's gastro issues. Like concerned parents, we went on our quest to find the solution to Jake's tummy issues by talking with other dog owners and reading sources online. In our research, we reached out to Thrive4 Life Holistic Pet Food https://www.thrive4lifepetfood.com/ and spoke with health and nutraceutical specialist Lucy Jabrayan, founder of Thrive4 Life Pet Foods, game changer! Lucy suggested specific raw foods, along with the kibble we give Jake, Matty's Blend, a probiotic recently launched by Lucy, while cutting down to morning and evening feedings only. Honestly, it's such a relief to see our doggo not just surviving but thriving on his new diet and feeding schedules. It's been months now, and we love to see Jake's excitement for breakfast and dinner and no more vomiting or runny poops. Jake has more energy; his coat is shiny, his weight is perfect, and he's strong and vital. And while I do not claim to be an expert on pet nutrition, I can tell you when you see your pet smiling, that's just the best feeling in the world, and I can't help but think we're doing the right thing".-Diana

"I was looking for a probiotic for Rex for a while until I came across Matty's Blend and wow I've noticed a huge difference in just a couple weeks his skin is baby soft and his skin hasn't been itching like it was before I've also noticed his stools have become more firm and less smelly I fell in love with this blend right away and highly recommend to anyone".- Felicia

"I started using Matty's Blend when my dog was on antibiotics and suffering from inappetence and loose stool. Matty's Blend helped him regain his appetite and start producing normal bowel movements the day after I started him on it. I am so impressed with the product and have continued to use it to support his gut health". -Sarah
"The 'Bugger OFF!' spray is my favorite insect repellent during the summer months. I use it on my dog, my horse and myself and the bottle still lasts me quite a while. I love the smell, but more importantly it is safe and effective in protecting us from pesky flies and bugs". -Sarah

After raw. |
"I had my Border Collie on 'high quality' kibbles for years. He always had moderate allergies and we used medication to control them as we figured it was just dry skin or a reaction to the changing seasons. His fur was dull and dry, and his breath stank beyond belief. He ate tons of grass and would also eat lots of horse manure, and I thought these were just normal habits for him. I met Lucy through a friend's recommendation, as I was starting to think about changing his diet. As Lucy educated me on the benefits of feeding a biologically appropriate diet, I started to realize that for years I had been feeding my dog "filler" that was made with chemicals, preservatives and ingredients that were not meant to be part of his diet. Lucy helped me transition him to a raw diet and recommended supplements tailored to his needs, and all I can say is that I have been blown away since the switch over. My dog's breath does not smell bad anymore, he does not itch, his coat is soft and silky, he does not eat horse manure anymore, and he is full of energy! At 9 years old, he is bouncing around and out-playing dogs half his age. He enjoys every meal I serve him, because it tastes delicious to him and he no longer begs for food afterwards because it contains all his nutritional needs. Two weeks post-cancer surgery, the vet was astonished at how quickly he had recovered and how fast his fur was growing back. People ask me all the time how old he is, and their jaws drop when I tell them the answer. The proof is in the dog, I could not have imagined the difference I would have seen after switching him over to raw. I will never touch a bag of kibble again, and I will continue to recommend people to switch over to raw."-Sarah
The 'Scotties'- Chester & Baxter

"Noticeable difference since we switched the boys to raw. Feeding them 2% if desired and breed ideal weight. Normalized them within a month.
Poop smaller, no smell, rain washes it away like dirt. Sun disintegrates in similar manner.
Both Scotties look forward to meal times with a passionate happy dance. Personalities, ( If a Scottie can change ) seem to be more relaxed inside. Have more energy when outside. Less inside barking. Also noticed their pee isn't as bright yellow. They used to consume a lot more water before we switched them to raw."

Lorenzo

"Even though Lorenzo was always on a good quality dry food, with the occasional can, his coat was always lack-lustered and he was constantly hungry. His skin was dry and flaky and he always groomed himself non-stop, at one point he even had bald patches. He would also get the occasional 'sniffles' as he never had a great immune system.
After switching him to raw, he 'plumped' up, filled out very nicely, and his coat is smooth and shiny as silk, can only imagine what his insides must feel like! Will never go back to dry food again." |
Izzy

"I visited Thrive4Life Holistic Pet Food for the first time in December 2018. I had put my Boston Terrier on a raw-food diet over the previous few months and it was just not working. She didn't like it and her BMs were always loose even with added fibre. Lucy suggested a dehydrated raw food option. Izzy has never been a good eater and only seems to enjoy her 'treats'. Now, not only does she enjoy her food but her BMs are perfect. Lucy has a broad knowledge about nutrition for dogs and is a pleasure to talk to. She understands her products and made excellent recommendations for Izzy. Her store is a one-stop-shop and I am so happy to have found it. Thanks Lucy. I will be back!"-Sherri (mother)
"Hey Lucy! Was so cool to finally see what you’ve invested so much beautiful energy into :))))) It’s so awesome what you are creating for our animals! After getting home from your store on Saturday my dog ate three bowls of your food and then sat by her bowl for an hour and a half whimpering for more lol.... she is a very picky eater and has never done this before!"-Trevor (son) |
Turbo

"I took turbo to the vet this afternoon. He could not believe the weight he has put on in the past little while.
I told him about you and the food you sold me. He could not believe the difference in turbo. He first asked me if I've still been hand feeding I said nope I told you it’s the food and it went from there. He said he drives by your place and often wonders. I said stop wondering lol. The vet is shocked Lucy". |

Omggg Lexi went crazy for the burger!!! We have never seen her eat like that!! I have to come today and grab more! Thank you so much for making our Lil Lexi's belly happy️!! <3<3" |

"Holly was very frail, I was feeding her Royal Canine but then she stopped eating all together. My friend told me about Thrive4Life Holistic Pet and so I went and tried her on natural dog food, she loves it! She started gaining weight which she needed and was peppier in her steps. With regular bowel movements too, she is looking like her young self again which at 16 years old going on 17 is very important to me. If you love your dog go and see Lucy. It's only the good stuff!".
Oscar

"Before we started feeding the dog a raw diet we thought he was pretty happy and active. However, a couple of days into the new meal plan the dog started acting years younger! The improvement was so obvious that my husband and I looked at each other and had to ask, 'What on earth was in the stuff we had been giving him?!'. He was so clearly a different dog that we knew we had definitely made the right decision! No more kibble and store bought processed treats= healthier dog!".
Buddy
"Buddy's blood work came back perfect! His lipids and cholesterol are normal, his urate which was elevated is normal now and the only abnormal value is the All Phosphate which was only slightly elevated. The vet was not concerned about this as the rest of his liver function was completely normal."
Ruddsy & Lenny
"Our boys love Back to Raw! We have noticed a big difference with their coats and teeth. The shedding has become less to none and minimal tartar build up! We are very happy that we made the switch to raw food for Ruddsy and Lenny, and they seem very appreciative too! They cannot wait to eat every meal. We want the best for our dogs and Thrive4life Holistic Pet Food has all the check marks! Thank you!".
Ruby
"Hey Lucy,
We met last week and you were helping us to transition our Old English bulldog from kibble to raw. Ruby has been doing amazing. Smaller bowl movements, less stinky and no vomiting. She hasn’t even been gassy. Which is amazing for her. She also loves her new diet."

"Lilli is almost 9 years old Maine -Coon mix , with an unsettled unhappy kitten-hood . We bought her through Kijiji , I fell for that face & just got to have her. She was not fixed and soon after we got her she had a false pregnancy, after that settled we had her operated. She started putting on weight, I tried different things but nothing worked ....she ended up looking like a snowball.
About a year ago we found Thrive4life pet food store in our search for best available cat-food ( I did not want to commit to cooking it ). After valuable advice from Lucy and getting some New Zealand raw food , silver solution (for Lilli's runny eyes from herpes virus she was born with and enzymes that I mix with the food), it only took about 2 weeks for Lilli to lose all the extra weight!
We are so pleased with the results . Our other cat Minttu, a Bengal mix, who has always been healthy has an even shinier coat now.
Thank you Lucy , we love to come to your store , always have lovely chat with you."
