REVIEWS

Student feedback

I've enjoyed the dog nutrition the most, because I'm so worried about what my pets eat and with all the pet food recalls it may be to late once you find out about the recall. So, knowing what all nutrients that dogs need has gave me more ideas of how i will prepare there food a little different now! But, I've enjoyed all of the summit so far! 
Melissa Parham

various speakers and their focus or specialty . The presentations were very good. I have used a raw diet for my dogs for 20 years and still was enthralled with the information presented and discussed.
thank you very much for this opportunity.

I would recommend to anyone who has a dog or cat or who is interested in a holistic approach to feeding our pets.
charlotte Prudhomme

It's hard to pick just one as I have learned so much from all the speakers. I'm a professional pet sitter for almost 20 yrs and look to enrich the pet lives that I care for. Thank you so much for allowing those to listen that wouldn't be financially able otherwise. I really appreciate it!

Pet Sitters International, they are the largest educational association for professional pet sitters. I would also recommend to the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.
Deedra Thompson

I have enjoyed every speaker and topics for self care and my pet.
Thank you so much for all that you and your team accomplished for the presentation.
Very very interesting and informative.
Carolyn Pager

The info is very valuable, I'm learning so much. I especially appreciate the validation that I'm feeding my dog right. Some years ago, I changed his diet from a relatively expensive kibble to raw meat(top-grade beef mostly). In about a week, people were asking me if I had the same dog - he was much calmer & mellow. Most of my neighbors had been afraid of him, as he had anxiety issues when I adopted him from the humane society, and was quite nippy & tried to attack. Since that time, many of the fearful neighbors(& my landlord) have made friends with him, and he's sweet & loving now. I'm not a dog trainer, and I know it had to be the change in diet. He also enjoys bits of vegetables, mostly organic, like carrots, broccoli & other cole vegetables, pumpkin, etc. I make his treats from a thick steak or roast - sliced thin & dried in my dehydrator. So glad for your Dog Gut Health Summit - thanks! I highly recommend this Summit to ALL dog owners & caretakers & anyone who might be thinking about having a dog!
