about

Dealing with high grooming monthly bills and the stress it causes your dog at the groomer's can be quite frustrating. If you've ever felt unsure about how to properly groom your dog at home, you're not alone. Many owners face these challenges, but proper grooming is crucial—it prevents excessive shedding, skin irritation, painful hair mats, and overgrown toenails, which can lead to more serious health issues.

I really enjoyed listening to some of the people especially after reading their books which I still use as reference. M

Every presentation has been so worthwhile aI have learnt so much from then and given so much to process

Every pet owner would benefit from this summit as well as many more vets

I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve listened to. I was very interested in Gary Richter. Just last week I purchased a probiotic called nutra thrive. After just 3 days my dog stopped scooting, scratching and licking her paws, and she has a lot of energy. I also enjoyed listening to Coner Brady and about feeding dogs. But, everyone else is interesting. It’s all a lot of good information. Thank You all for your sessions. I would recommend everyone who has a dog .
Sharon DeRosa

So much useful information can't wait to put into practice. Thank you all so much for making the summit free so we can all benefit.

I recommend it to all pet owners, the lucky ones who have a relaxed dog and those of us that have rescues with issues.

This has been fantastic, and I am convinced that I should not give up on transitioning our two Golden Retrievers over to a raw food diet. I have tried a couple of times using Dr. Marty's freeze-dried raw food, but my dogs just could not adjust to it. I tried for several weeks twice, very slowly trying to transition them, but they still got sick, had soft stools so I stopped. I use the Nutra Thrive from pet nutrition and love Dr. Richter but struggle to get to a pure raw food diet. I am trying again cutting up fresh veggies, blueberries, apples etc. I am adding canned sardines and intend to get our dogs off of kibble for sure. I will start some raw food from your website and see if I can get them transitioned. Thanks for this wonderful summit, it has convinced me to get my dogs off of kibble for sure. I have had Goldens for 32 plus years and have never had any of them get past 12 years. Always cancer gets them. Warm regards, Steve

Anyone who loves their pets like we do.
