    Dr. Becker's advice saved the life of my brother's family cat who was very ill & dying from the food that they had been feeding it. I told my brother to immediately put their cat on a frozen raw cat food diet which very soon reversed the cat's illness who had lost a lot of weight due to an internal organ failure (I forget which one). I told him to watch all of Dr. Becker's videos about 'Species Appropriate Diets' to learn why pets need to be fed that way. Their cat made a full recovery & is back to excellent health. When talking about pets with people I always tell them to research Dr. Karen Becker & say that she is one of the best vets in the World.

    You are my favorite and most go to holistic vet for any concerns I have. This video filled my eyes with tears of joy and gained so much more respect for you than I already have. Thank you for all that you do. You taught me how to go above and beyond to keep my dog healthy. Love your products!

    I'm a professional trainer (dogs) for 34 yrs & refer your videos with every client. Your compassion and tears devastate me, because I know your heart. I'm a animal lover also & always tell my clients I'm the dogs advocate if you're not doing the right thing I'll pick on you. I argue with veterinarian's all the time saying I research more than you & I don't care what your pharma supporters university calls their protocol. You'll probably never see this but thank you for all I have learned. BTW I don't just train I teach every aspect of dogs from behavior, nutrition, health and enrichment of life. Thanks always

    Wow, so happy I stumbled upon your video Dr. Becker. My daughter has a dog whom I love. My husband calls me the dog whisperer because I instinctively felt that the reason she love, love, love grass, bell peppers, green lettuce and berries was because of something going on in her gut and certain foods made her tummy feel better. Now it's confirmed. I thank you for caring about animals and for the precious reliable resources you've provided. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more about how to properly care for our little furry friends that are like our family and that we love so much.

Why I've only just now found you, I've only just now started reaching out in hopes there even existed a such thing as "holistic veterinarian". Because he's been diagnosed with " going into ?💓disease.So here I am, already with a plan but searching for 2nd opinion in my treatment for him. You remind me so much of myself. Rescuing, rehabilitating reptiles, squirels, opossums, etc...(ON STEROIDS!)😂 Where I got distracted and went another way in career, YOU remained true to the cause and NEED! Thank God. Parents make all the difference in a child's future, I believe💯. Thank God for them as well. Thank YOU, DR.

I checked the local (Oshkosh, WI) library & they have the status of your book listed as 'withdrawn/removed'. Please consider publishing another edition of this book so us 'poor folks' can afford to buy a copy. Thanks

    My 9 year old female yellow lab mix exhibited sudden ataxia symptoms two mornings ago, and i've been frantically searching for any way at all i can treat and comfort her as i'm on fixed income and was nearly convinced i had to put her down. Since finding the wealth of information you share, i now have hope that maybe i can rehabilitate her to the point that her quality of life will be sufficient to keep her with me. You're beautiful and a genius young lady!
