Berkeley 

We are sad to say that on Tuesday, April 18th, we lost one of our own Brand Ambassadors, Berkeley. He was loved by many, and will always be remembered as the OG BARF World® pet. Even though he is no longer with us, the cherished memories will always be with us. 

A little bit of a backstory about Berkeley, he was our little senior Mascot. He was a Shih Tzu, and was rescued at 6 years old from a local Puppy Mill Rescue, “Underdog Rescue MN”. 

When Berkeley was rescued, he had pre-existing conditions such as dental disease and digestive upset from being fed-kibble all his life. 

Although he had these health conditions when he was rescued, his eyes seemed to be completely healthy. It wasn’t until less than a year later that his left eye developed a melting ulcer. In 2020, Berk had an accident with another dog and lost his “good eye”. Despite these health conditions, he lived a long and happy life. Some would say that he looked and acted like a puppy.

Berk will be missed by many. If you, or anyone you know is going through the loss of a beloved pet, you are not alone. Pet loss is the most difficult part of being a pet parent.
