Pets
“I first got my Chocolate Labrador, Humphrey, as a puppy while I was studying to become a vet, and he's been with me ever since — I can't imagine life without him! ”He's incredibly loving, cuddly, and always excited to visit the Lyka office to see all his friends.
”Unfortunately, Humphrey was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia as a puppy and had to undergo orthopedic surgery. Switching him to Lyka's diet has been amazing for his arthritis, helping to keep his weight under control and providing functional, anti-inflammatory ingredients like fish oil and turmeric.”
