Student feedback

This 3rd day was the best. A lot of good information Anyone with a dog
Sharon DeRosa

The speakers have been very helpful and easy to understand. They are providing lots of good information for anyone with a pet.

Debbie

There has been so much wonderful information shared by all the knowledgeable speakers - I am inspired to change the diets of my two dogs and two cats dramatically. The passion for improving the health of our companion animals really comes through with each interview. Thank you all so much for educating us in how to improve the lives of our animals by feeding them as Nature intended.

This summit should be required viewing for any dog and cat owners, such as myself, who thought a "grain-free" dry food choice was doing the right thing!

Jane Sanders

Dr Tori Countner’s talk was really interesting for me and introduced some therapies that I hadn’t heard of previously, especially gua sha. My dog has a herniated disc so it is particularly relevant. Thank you to everyone involved in producing the summit. Absolutely everyone who cares about dogs should be joining this fantastic resource.
Pam

We have an intact female 5.5 yr Golden Ret. raw fed, FAB4 supplements & DNM supplements, min. vaccines, no allopathic drugs/poisons, and we use a 100% homeopathic vet, so for me it was ALL amazing. Loved all the speakers, very well organized and presented. In context that was easy to understand. Love how you were not afraid to get into the vaccines, spay/Neutering, diet ( and all components - terrain, sources, truths / lies) and the spiritual aspect/wholeness/oneness. I have been searching for more of us for the last 15-20years who actually get the Oneness/"thou", and most humans just are not there yet. It was all perfect. Thanks Dee for doing this - love you for it ! I just wanted more on info. on pyometra (how caused, how to avoid, why happens, and impact over the years 50s, 60s, , 70s, present) and intact females, as my heart is with Goldens and we are keeping her intact due to health reasons, as we have lost SO many of our dogs to cancer / heart / kidney-lyme disease, over the last 25 years. There is so little "true/accurate" info. out there on keeping females intact, everyone is pushing neutering these days, and it is sad. And it is not getting any better, for all canines... which your summit answers the , reasons .. why part. It was 100% perfect - Loved it ! Thank you , thank you , thank you for doing the 2022 HDCS Dr Dee , and all participants , speakers, and all of you working behind the scenes to bring it to us. I would recommend it to everyone, it was 100% awesome, and you picked all the best speakers to deliver your message Dr. Dee <3 All pet owners should watch it, for sure : )
