Greg Martinez has been a partner/owner of Gilroy Veterinary Hospital (Gilroy, CA) for more than 30 years. He found that many chronic problems were not helped by medication, like skin, ear, and bowel issues. He began to see more and more success when incorporating better feeding practices in his treatment. Greg's self-published books, Dog Dish Diet and Feed Your Pet to Avoid the Vet teach pet owners how to choose commercial food, avoid grains, feed healthy oils, add human food, or feed homecooked meals to avoid allergies or medical problems.
Both gentle parenting and force-free training emphasize empathy for the living being you're responsible for, and patience with their behavior as their core tenet.
