Student feedback

I have now finished the Raw Dog Food Summit and I cannot thank everyone enough - It has been such a joy and a vast learning experience. I am honoured to have been able to connect with so many experts in a variety of countries. I truly have learned so much and the notes I have will be a great tool for my own raw journey with my animal companions, now and in the future. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

All pet parents, animal care workers and vets who are interested in providing the best nutrition and quality of life for cats and dogs. Much of this information also benefits humans in the way we take care of our own bodies too.

Rebekah Farmer

I’ve enjoyed everything. Today I listened to the talks and each person had really useful tips & information. I loved the healing touch and practiced on my GSD and he listened to Chopin too. He appeared a lot calmer tonight. Thanks for providing this amazing opportunity to learn from all these experts. I’ll be practicing some of the various holistic & herbal remedies as I’ve always used them on my animals. Janice

Everyone with a dog and animals. Puppy owners

I loved watching puppies socializing - reading body language. Also, would like to see puppy training done on a mat or rug - wood floors can be very slippery. people that are new to training.
