WHAT THEY SAY

Every guest speaker brought something good to the table. My favorite speaker was Doggy Dan. His personality and energy captivated my complete attention. What a lovely person. If I lived in New Zealand, I would definitely choose him to set my puppy up for success. Thank you!

I'm glad I had the opportunity to attend this summit.

REVIEWS

Student feedback

Very enjoyable overall. Lots of good information .

Primarily trainers. Often there was jargon and concepts which would go over many pet owner’s heads. I found the dog play video ( Dr. Ian Dunbar)probably the most helpful for pet owners.
Pam Wolf

What a great line up and mix of approaches to this subject, yet all in agreement that gut health is key to good health. I particularly enjoyed both the presentation and Q&A with Odette, how amazing is she at taking a tricky and difficult subject matter and explaining it simply and beautifully. I never before appreciated how important and valuable chiropractic care is in gut health. I also really enjoyed, and took a lot away from the discussion with Dr Susan Bohrer that I am going to share with people. Thank you Katie for organising this summit and bringing together all these wonderful people, and congratulations on making it such an easy to access and successful event. Everyone!
Jo Arbon

I have been struggling with my rescue dog's diet since we got him a month ago. I knew I wanted to go raw, and much healthier than what he previously had been eating, but there was so much conflicting info and 'rules' and it really put me off, plus what we tried ended up giving him bad diarrhea and of course our vet was NO RAW. But the dog won't eat much of anything, very picky, so I am very pleased that so far with the things I have read or watched that it's clear, concise, and not just someones opinion but there is research behind it and has really made me feel a lot calmer about his feeding. I am really looking forward to hearing the speakers. My dog's leg won't fall off because of his diet! I feel much more confident that we can get through this transition and he will be a much healthier and happier dog. Anyone with a dog! I knew kibble was not the best option, but after hearing Dr Brady and Dr Woodley and reading the information I was blown away. I wouldn't feed my kids garbage, why would I feed my dog garbage?
Laura Miron

I'm getting the confidence to feed exclusively. I was cooking and adding kibble but today I went out and bought what I could find to start tomorrow after prepping everything.

All of my pet sitting owners and I am giving them the pet summit address so they can help their animals many suffering from the diseases mentioned
Suzanne Lee Miller

I enjoyed listening to the good explanations of the dogs GI System & what upsets it . I learned some good information on how to control tye GI tract to get it back to healing and what foods upset it as well as foods that help it . I have a 3 year old ckcs that was diagnosed with low B12 after off and on bouts of regurgitation and a few episodes of diarrhea . This started when he was 1 and a half . I have the vomiting and diarrhea under control with a raw diet and giving B12 supplements, coat looks great but feel bony ribcage still ! Some Dog Group lists and perhaps other Veterinarians should listen to these videos
