about


Many dog owners are concerned about the harmful ingredients in processed kibble and prefer to offer their pets healthier, more natural options. Since the introduction of kibble, the incidence of food allergies or sensitivities in dogs has skyrocketed. According to a study published in the Journal of Veterinary Dermatology, about 10% of dogs now suffer from these issues, which can lead to serious health problems like skin irritation, digestive disorders, and ear infections. Ignoring these signs can further harm your pet’s health. In fact, the long-term use of processed foods has been linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, due to the presence of toxins and carcinogens.

We understand how overwhelming it can be to learn how to prepare homemade dog food. It can feel helpless when your dog is constantly dealing with digestive problems and allergies related to their food. But did you know that with a few simple strategies, you can ensure your dog gets all the nutrients they need without overdoing it on certain ingredients?

The "In The Kitchen Workshop: Food Therapy Meals for Dogs" is designed specifically for pet owners who are facing these challenges or those who want to start a new diet for their pets.

REVIEWS

Student feedback

wow. the whole course is amazing. I am so glad I purchased the Premium Package, I will want to review these session over and over. I have used so much of what I have learned from the Dunbar Academy training dogs and other volunteers at our local shelter, what I have learned during the Pet Summits Secrets will enhance my training knowledge and ability to. reach more people and dogs. Thank you for a great first 2 days!!! Anyone involved in dog training and dog raising. There is something for everyone
Gail Smith

The summit has been very interesting. Thank you for putting it on. Easy to log on to at a time that is convenient for me. Doggy Dan and Dr Ian Dunbar have been the speakers I have enjoyed most of all . I have preordered Dr Dunbar's new book. Watching the Labradors play session and the interactions and training within it were excellent to see. Actually letting dogs be dogs was a joy to see and something that often seems to get forgotten these days. Andrea Arden hit the spot with discussing the differences between apartment living dogs behaviour and rural dogs behaviour. Personally I think it is amazing that there aren't more dogs actually giving up on life given apartment living conditions. Why have a dog if the circumstances of your life dictate that life for the dog will be unreasonably complicated. As an aside I would suggest that Andrea takes special interest in the spinal health of the horse she is riding that is bucking so often, unlikely to be joire de vive rather pain. I think it will be found to have a pinching saddle or pain issues especially as it has come from the race track. Once again thank you for organising this summit. Sally
