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.
Elizabeth Carbery
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
Suzanne Presland
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!

REVIEWS
Student feedback
I didn’t get a chance to see the summit the first weekend, but I’m taking advantage of being able to see it on the long weekend, and I’m amazed of how great the content is. It’s been great to know all the research that it’s being done and how many experts are trying to guide all pet parents who are desperately looking for answers. I really enjoyed the talk about dental health since there’s little information out there. Needless to say we are making changes to improve our dog’s health. Friends with dogs and without. Humans could benefit from this knowledge too.

So many of the experts addressed questions, concerns, and areas of interest to us, that we cannot eliminate any one topic we watched. We managed to watch 10! presenters + you, Dr. Dee and learned so much. I can't begin to credit everything positive about the summit. We hope there will be a "second season," you know, like what Masterpiece on PBS does when a program really goes over. That's what you achieved! We recognize how much time and work you put into this summit and cannot thank you enough. For us, next, is to find a holistic vet in the Albuquerque area that we can trust and who might perform a vasectomy when the time is right for Skye. Post it on Facebook so it pops up when people are in their dog-related groups. For example, the DNM The Pack group would be perfect. Or the spay and neutering group, and one and on. That's how I find some connections I would never have seen otherwise.

Great practical tips as well as I don’t feel alone in this journey I have a 11 month old German Shepard and I no longer feel that I’m failing rather it’s a combined learning experience
Anyone who has a dog where they feel like they don’t have the tools to train it
Stacey Shimmin
I've been absolutely blown away by the information throughout the summit and will be using it as ethically as I can for my clients as a dog trainer as well as with my own pets. I am however so sad that it is actually vets that are pushing kibble diet to pet parents and it seems like a very difficult obstacle to overcome. My favorite speakers were Kasey Maxwell and Julie Ann Lee.
ANY dog parent or caregiver.

I have really enjoyed comparing all the presenters do's and don'ts ha ha! What I love most is that they all say to feed a fresh food diet! I have been feeding raw for over 6 years, sparked by my breeder of my first Boerboel. I could never go back to feeding kibble! The amount of information in this gut series is incredible! I have learned a few new things that I will definitely be incorporating into my dog's daily meals while reducing the supplementation or finding those nutrients in other foods I hadn't thought of before. My overall favorite was Matt Rowe! I love how he said to turn off your electronics and pay attention to what he had to say. I get so distracted trying to listen and read other items that I get distracted! So that was very helpful for me! Thank you so much! I'm thanking my holistic vet for sending me the link! :) Everyone that has a dog!!!! I would recommend it to my hairdresser and have shared it with her already!
