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!

REVIEWS

Student feedback

A very understandable and informative session by Dr Emily Stein, 'The Oral Biome'.

Everyone as a definite overlap between the human and dog/cat oral biome.
Linda Ross

Very informative...I've learned a lot. My dog had pancreatitis, so I was particularly interested in the
talks about that subject. I was, at one time, feeding my dog kibble and cooked food from my table.
I nearly killed my dog, not knowing of course. He has been on a raw diet for 9 months now. It has made all the difference. He is thriving, he gets zero table scraps. He gets very low fat treats from Dr. Karen Becker (The Forever Dog). Thank you for this summit. I was so happy to join in and listen.

Everyone that has a pet.....period.
KELLY FORD

All of it liked Dr. Bush, oral health, about water, detox recipes, Jason Donas info on his company. I benefitted by each speaker and what they shared Everyone who has a pet, dog, cat, horse, whatever Also, I learned a lot that will benefit my health also. Thank you!
Margaret Cimafranca

Such helpful and workable insight and advice

My daughter in law
Marty handley

I have enjoyed both the interview style sessions and the slide show style presentations. The latter were good for copying down websites to look for more information on topics covered. Every speaker was excellent! I learned a lot. Thanks very much! Both pet owners with new pets and ones experienced in pet care will find good useful information. Even people without a pet but planning to adopt one will learn a lot.
