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

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.
