Everything has been of use. I have gleaned something from every session. Thank you for making this series available to dog owners. I wish I had known about this years ago. I already feed my dog raw food but this has convinced me to try to get friends and family to feed their pets raw food.
I would recomment this summit to any dog or cat owner.

All the speakers have been amazing. So much great information. Thank you so much.
All the breed clubs. I put it on all my Bull Mastiff sites. I got a number of likes so hopefully those people signed up.

After using the herbal handbooks by Juliette de Bairacli Levy for over 30 years for my dogs & puppies, chooks, ducks & sheep, it is the conformation that a raw food diet is paramount for a healthy happy dog.
Thank you, Amanda
Pet owners who buy puppies and find their pup has behaviour problems.
I have and will continue to recommend to all "awakened" pet owners.

I’ve had a dilemma on feeding for some time. I thought I’d chosen a good kibble and add home cooked meat and veg but on the back of this summit I’ve rethought and am going raw. Thankyou
Anyone with a dog who cares about their health and well-being

So much information from many great presenters but my favorite is Dr. Christian Vergara on the gut/ brain connection. Absolutely fascinating and mind blowing!!!
Recommended to all raw feeders and wanna be raw feeders. A goldmine!

Lots of great information for me and my clients, specially the information from all the Vets.
Anyone that has dogs or cats. I would recommend it to all my clients and friends

As a Certified Vet Tech with special interest in behavior and training, I especially loved the videos from Justine Schuurmans and Kim Brophey. Both of their videos are extremely helpful and especially insightful in giving us the chance to look at the relationship between people and dogs in a whole different way. I think every Veterinary Technician should see these videos by Schuurmans and Brophey. Ms Schuurmans' video can help us counsel clients with small children in how to build a true bond between the child and the dog. Also a way to teach the child to have respect for the dog - and all animals. Ms Brophey's video gave us the chance to change our perception of the dog's ability to learn, to engage and actively participate in the things happening to them (like a vet visit). Giving them the choice to allow themselves to be handled is HUGE. And it's something, sadly, I don't think many technicians really consider. Which is why so many dogs have such a fearful or anxious response when at the vet. Even low stress handling and fear-free training don't come out and give the dog permission to CHOOSE to engage. And they don't stress the dog's autonomy the way Ms Brophey does. I also watched her TED talk....amazing!

The knowledge that is now available to help humans and dogs work together. Everyone who is having issues with their dogs and everyone bringing a new dog into their home. Plus trainers to make them better.

I have really enjoyed the Raw Food summit, and all the great guidelines and advice. I've been feeding my two year old poodle/aeredale cross kibble since we got her, but never feel right about it. She's overweight and should have more energy I believe. Now I know it's wise to make this transition! We've already started and she loves the raw chicken wings. I have a lot of beef bones, but am not sure how to get them ground up yet. Thank you so much for all the great information, and giving me the knowledge to get started on RAW food for my girl.
I will let my friend Lynel know about this summit. She has two large dogs, a bernese lab cross and another bernese.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 4-Day Summit packed full of insightful contents. Listening to all of the experts in their fields whom are passionate about pet health and good nutrition has definitely confirmed my interest in learning more about pet nutrition, offering more informative advices to pet parents as a veterinarian.
All of my veterinarian cohort.
