My Vision for Healthy Pets

I created a second business called Heaven Sent Healthy Pet to give my puppy families an easy way to insure they are feeding a proper raw diet very easily. At Heaven Sent Healthy Pet, our mission extends far beyond simply providing species-appropriate raw food. We are driven by a profound commitment to holistic pet wellness, focusing on healing the entire animal, not just optimizing their diet.

Our ultimate goal is to empower you to provide your cherished companions with the healthiest possible life. We believe in fostering resilience and vitality from the inside out.
Imagine a future with fewer routine veterinary visits for preventable illnesses, a dog thriving free from chronic allergies, debilitating digestive issues, or the burden of certain diseases.
That's the profound impact we aspire to create, one Heaven Sent pet at a time.

A righteous one has kind regard for the life of his animal and understands his soul, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
Proverbs 12:10

John 14
1“
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Romans 10:9  
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”
