• Oils are Not Enough! Natural Nutrition for Pet Carnivores Encore: Participants will learn how to identify where their dog’s or cat’s current diet program fits on the “nutritional ladder”. Do you know how to read an ingredient label? What marketing tricks are used to confuse you? How can you identify hidden carcinogens in your pet's food? Strategies will be shared to help move your pet’s, natural nutrition program up the ladder. Dr. Jodie shares 36 years of holistic veterinary experience.
• Don't Sabotage Your Oils! Stop Over-vaccinating Your Dog & Cat; What is a Titre Test: Dr. Ron Schultz, the renowned Ph.D. immunologist, has said more pets need to get vaccinated less often. What risks are you taking every time your pet is injected with an unnecessary vaccine? How can you prove the vaccine is unnecessary? Learn how to speak up and tell your veterinarian what you do and do not want. Learn how to insist on informed consent. Be your pet’s advocate, and learn how to read result reports on your own so that you can make informed decisions for your pet’s best health!
• Why & How to Detox Soak Your Dog or Cat w/ Lavender or Frankincense & More: how to use essential oils safely and effectively for dogs and cats in a full body soak, and during a “petting with intent” session. Specific oils will be discussed and application methods demonstrated. The focus will be on Lavender, Copaiba, Panaway, Valor, Frankincense, Endoflex, Juniper, Raven, R.C., DiGize, Thieves, Marjoram, Stress Away, Peace & Calming, and Deep Relief. 
• How To Successfully Implement A Raw Diet For Your Pet Carnivore: specific experiential advice on how to do raw right, from home-preparing to commercial raw, including useful functional food, and treat additions.
