Por qué decidió unirse al Cuerpo de Paz

Cómo es la vida diaria en una aldea paraguaya

Si te interesa el voluntariado internacional, las historias de vida o el crecimiento personal, no te pierdas este testimonio lleno de sentido y corazón.

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.
