Research into extending the lifespan of dogs and cats

The Odin Project (raw feeding project) is named after my Great Dane, Odin. He was born August 20^th, 2011. I got him when he was 12 weeks old and I switched him to a raw food the same day. I will follow Odin and a group of dogs from around the world (currently 3500, and growing) all being fed raw meats and bones. I will keep track of them for the duration of their lives and document the results under the names 'The Odin Project' and 'Project Odin' 'Long Living Pets Raw Feeding Project'

Prior to Odin, I have had 3 Danes on a raw diet. Based on my experience and research with my own pack and 80 other dogs from 2000 - 2015, I knew I was on to something very important. The Odin Project is a continuation of my first 15 years. The second phase of this project, which began in 2015, is to increase it to 5000 dogs and 2000 cats. The by 2018 I hope to increase it further to 10,000 dogs and 5,000 cats. 

Every pet has its own file that is updated once a year. I hope this documentation of the benefits of feeding raw will convince more pet owners to start feeding a raw food diet, the type of food a carnivore was designed for.

Yearly update for the Long Living Research Project

Raw Feeding Study

This update is for everyone participating in the raw feeding study also known as the Odin project. I do not ask for much since I understand we all live busy lives. The only thing I require is a yearly update.

I have revised the update form. If this is the first time you submit an update it will be a little more extensive. Next time it will be less. 

It is important that you fill out this form as accurately as you can.  You need to use one form per pet. This form is converted to an excel file and stored in my database to create a variety of reports. Your full name is excluded from these reports. Your privacy is very important to me and I will always protect it.

Please click this link to update your pet(s). 

Thank you for being part of this important study. This cannot be done without your participation. I am forever grateful that you take the time to update your pet(s).

PS. I have started a new community for pet owners like you that apply natural modalities and remedies so we can help our pets live long healthy lives. It is a private community away from Facebook and the public. In this private community, we have much more freedom to share and discuss natural remedies and modalities. There is a small charge of $5/per month (or $49/year). This goes to help me continue with the studies I am involved with and also help pets with cancer at no cost.  It also discouraged "trolls" from joining and disturbing the cause we all are so passionate about: Feeding our pets the food they are designed for.

2018 Long Living Pets  - Road Tour to Educate and Recruit.

We are taking 'Long Living Pets Research Projects' on the road. 

This has been another project in the planning for the last five years. Now, when I'm moving into Phase 2 of these 30-year research projects (next 15 years) it's time to step up and meet the pet owners face to face. As you know by now, I'm on a life mission to help dogs live longer healthier lives.

The purpose of this road trip is to:

• Bring nationwide awareness to these research projects
• Raise funds for my nonprofit organization 'Long Living Pets Research Foundation's Rescue and Treatment Center' for dogs with chronic diseases. 
• Educate pet owners about raw feeding. Remove the myths and all the confusing information around raw feeding.
• Recruit more pet owners to the raw feeding research project
• Teach raw feeding hands-on. We will prepare meals on-site to show people how easy feeding raw can be. I have noticed when I show someone how I feed they say, "oh, that's it? - I can do that!"
• Distribute documentation and information related to the benefits of raw feeding (I need your help here, please submit your story, see below)
• Share my discoveries when it comes to pets and cancer prevention using a natural protocol
• Make a documentary of these trips. We will film our interactions and adventures during this trip. You will also be able to follow us on social media sites

We will be teaming up with local holistic veterinarians in the areas we are visiting when possible. My veterinarian is supporting this project and will join the larger events, when she is available, to help educate other veterinarians about the benefits of raw feeding.

The pack

Here is the pack that will travel with us and be our ambassadors for raw feeding. They are a group of raw fed dogs from 15 lbs to 140 lbs. They range in age from 3 to 14 years. Plus two young kittens.

From top right: Camelot (11) a Great Dane, Odin (7) a Great Dane, 
Bottom right: Mocha (14) a Miniature Dachshund, and my two adorable cats Kiki (5) and Freya (4). The cats were found half alive one year apart by Odin. This pack is tight and they are all very good friends that are getting along with no issues. They are excellent ambassadors for raw feeding.

I need your help to raise funds for this 'On the Road Project' to cover:

• RV Purchase. I'm getting a very good deal on a Motorhome suited for this.  The owner (a dog lover) has reduced the sales price to $30,000 which is $25,000 below asking price.
• Remodeling of the RV to accommodate 6 dogs and 2 cats.
  Estimated cost: $5,000. I will do most of the work myself to save money.
• Trailer purchase. I need to bring a large freezer and a fridge to store raw food needed for of 6 dogs and 2 cats.
  Estimated cost used: $5000 included fridge and freezer.
• Travel expenses plus emergency funds for repairs and maintenance.
  Initial cost estimate: $8,000
• Other miscellaneous costs will be covered by me.

Initial capital needed to get this tour on to the road: $56,000.

Advertising opportunities for companies and organizations

The RV and the Cargo trailer have a lot of  prime display surface that are available for advertising your businesses or organization. We will over the next 5 summers (maybe more if this is a success) travel all over USA to promote raw feeding and cancer prevention. Thousands of people will see us on the road and at many public events. I will also do many TV and Radio interviews. The trips will be filmed and made into a documentary and the RV will be a big part of this.

Contact me to discuss this prime opportunity (use the blue tab on the right side of this page)

 If you can think of anyone that can benefit from teaming up with us please let me know.

I need your story

I know many of you that registered for this project have seen amazing improvements in your pets by switching to raw.

I want to make a brochure and a slideshow that I hand out showing this to people we meet on our travels. I think these stories better than any words can convince many to make the switch.
