I applied this experience to my dog. When I saw what it did for him, I became convinced that I needed to share it with the world. There are too many dogs out there right now who are suffering. They’re itchy, inflamed, losing the bounce in their step, and prematurely aging. Every meal of overly processed, cleverly marketed commercial pet feed, every toxin we put into their systems and on them because it’s convenient, and every so-called treatment, pill, or potion we give them can be stealing their health and shortening their years. That’s not okay. You and I can do something about it—for our dogs.
Dr. Stephanie Krol's expertise in pet nutrition and wellness inspires profound change, empowering pet owners worldwide to prioritize their furry companions' health.
The other reason for the book was purely mine. I had realized one day and was asking myself what matters, did all the education, working three jobs through college, going full time, being a Dean of Schools, Professor and educator for a couple decades all now matter, and when we get to that forty mark we all start asking what matters and what did matter and after thinking about all I have done, I star- ted asking myself, how does one leave a legacy, and how does anyone know once we are gone after a certain period that we were here, and I came up

by top veterinarians, of which I knew were showing me test after test, needle biopsy results, and ultrasounds, just made little sense. I was also not given straightforward answers and was told, well, it’s called the practice of medici- ne for a reason, and a light went off.

Or they hear one piece of information that sounds good, like more real meat, and think, oh that’s best, I will choose that one, without looking into how pet food is really made, where it comes from and that it is really pet feed.

You see, he was fed the best organic raw dog foods, stopped unnecessarily vaccinating him early on, gave proof of titers instead and he had perfect filtered water, no chemicals in the house or in the backyard, and I even washed his feed from subdivision walks from other people who spray their yards and they told me out of nowhere at age 11, and also being the first time he was ever sick that he had 3-4 months to live with or without surgery and if I don’t do surgery to remove his spleen it will kill him, and while they are in there they will check the liver etc. That was really it verba- tim, so none of it made sense, and he was the type of dog that would walk into a clinic immediately traumatized from a vaccination experience when he was just a baby a veterinarian gave him a shot in the leg and he was in pain for two days barely walking and from then on it was panting, sweating, drooling and well, I know surgery, a clinic, fighting with them to let me stay would be nearly impossible and I

How did you go about conduc- ting your research for this book?
Initially, I sought the top people in Holistic Veterinary Medicine even internationally, Homeopathy, and Chinese Medicine to see what my options were, and it turned out, that my choices were the safest, least risky, and most focused on health, wellness, pain removal, and real healing. I then applied what I learned from my doc- torate, weeding through the research, from everywhere I could find on how to reverse disease states, what causes it, and how the body heals. I used my certifications in Raw Dog Food Nut- rition, Functional Medicine, and pre- vious knowledge as a Vet Tech. I have
