Schäfers Pfanne & Co as therapy

The white German shepherd Penelope - she is called Penny - is six years old and blind. She ended up at the Munich animal shelter, was severely emaciated, had diarrhoea and was in a poor general condition. After a thorough veterinary examination, it turned out that she had a pancreatic malfunction and tumours. Penny underwent two operations and was put on a special diet with the addition of supporting enzymes, which she would have to follow for the rest of her life.

Due to her handicaps, her chances of finding a new owner were extremely unfavourable. Especially as the problem with her diarrhoea was never fully resolved. Penny finally moved - to the Hof Elise animal hospice in Lohkirchen near Mühldorf.

The word hospice dates back to the Middle Ages and stood for a hostel for pilgrims, travellers and the needy. It was not until the 1950s that the term was given the meaning of end-of-life care through the work of the death researcher Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. At the Hof Elise animal hospice, both meanings are lived out: it is a refuge for animals that have no lobby anywhere else, souls marked by difficult fates, who experience a healing process towards the end of their earthly existence and are simply allowed to "be" in the family circle.

Each of these animals, whether dog, cat, horse, sheep, goat or pig, needs appropriate care and dog food according to its constitution. This is where Schäfers Pfanne, Falscher Hase and Co. come into play. Ursula Bohm, the manager of the animal hospice, spent a long time looking for a suitable dog food for the handicapped animals and tried out many different products. But it was the Anifit dog food that proved to be a resounding success, especially for Penelope.
