KBS en Español: Conoce a Diana Edery, fundadora de KeyCan

En este episodio de Key Biscayne Stories, conversamos con Diana Edery, fundadora de KeyCan, un negocio local dedicado a mejorar la salud y felicidad de nuestros perros a través de comidas frescas y caseras. Diana comparte la emotiva historia de cómo comenzó KeyCan después de que su Golden Retriever, Elliot, se enfermara en 2022. Cuando los tratamientos tradicionales no fueron suficientes, recurrió a comidas caseras hechas con ingredientes naturales—y fue testigo de lo que describe como una recuperación milagrosa. Inspirada por esta transformación, empezó a preparar comidas para su otra perrita, Luna, y finalmente lanzó KeyCan para ayudar a otros dueños de mascotas a hacer lo mismo. Hablamos sobre cómo Diana convirtió su pasión por la cocina y su amor por los animales en un negocio con propósito. Nos explica los ingredientes que utiliza, cómo se preparan las comidas, por qué es importante hacer la transición de comida seca a alimentos húmedos y naturales, y consejos para realizar ese cambio con éxito. Si amas a los perros, te interesa la nutrición canina o simplemente te inspiran las historias de cómo los desafíos personales pueden convertirse en soluciones para la comunidad, este episodio es para ti. 🐾 Conoce más sobre KeyCan: https://www.keycanfood.com [https://www.keycanfood.com] 📍 Conoce a nuestro patrocinador: Bocage Orthodontics – 240 Crandon Blvd. Suite 106, Key Biscayne, FL 33149 (junto a Baptist Health Urgent Care) 🎧 Suscríbete para más historias inspiradoras de Key Biscayne #KeyBiscayneStories #KeyCan #DianaEdery #NutriciónCanina #ComidaCaseraParaPerros #KeyBiscayne #BienestarAnimal #NegocioLocal #BocageOrthodontics
