A Story About Foxy (and a Very Brave Mom) — as told by Harry Manilow, obviously


 

A Story About Foxy (and a Very Brave Mom) 
— as told by Harry Manilow, obviously 

Let me tell you about my friend Foxy.
She’s a 4-year-old Havanese with excellent hair, strong opinions, and the kind of face that convinces humans to do literally anything.

Foxy usually comes in with her mom just to visit me. We chat. We vibe. We emotionally support one another. Very normal, very professional.

But one day, Foxy’s mom came in looking worried. The kind of worried where your shoulders are up near your ears and you’re holding a list from the vet like it personally offended you.

Foxy had just been diagnosed with diabetes.

And her mom had been told she might have to feed one of those very expensive, very sad, very “this tastes like regret” foods that are often recommended for diabetic dogs.

She was overwhelmed. She was scared. She just wanted to do the right thing for her girl.

So we talked.
We listened.
And then we showed her something we’re really proud of — My Perfect Pet’s Glycemic Friendly formula.

A gently cooked, thoughtfully made option that focuses on balanced nutrition without unnecessary fillers. Something that actually looks like food. Something Foxy might want to eat without filing a formal complaint.

Foxy’s mom took a box home…
Then did the exact right thing: she brought it to her vet.

And the vet said:
“Yes. This is absolutely worth trying.”

Fast-forward a few weeks 
Foxy is doing great.
Eating well.
Feeling good.
Still adorable.
Still in charge.

And her mom? Relieved. Grateful. Smiling again.

These are the moments that matter to us.

Not pressure.
Not fear.
Not overpriced food that makes you feel stuck.

Just support, options, and a place where you can talk things through — whether your pet needs help with diabetes, digestion, allergies, or just being a little extra.

So if your pet has special needs, or you’ve been told “there’s only one option,” come see us. We carry several My Perfect Pet specialty formulas, and we’re always happy to help you explore what might work best for your dog — alongside your vet.

And if you see Foxy around?
Tell her I said hi.
She owes me a playdate.

With love,
