  • A BIG thank you

    After watching your video on Lyme disease, I’m seriously considering not using the antibiotic I have ordered. My Irish Wolfhound (almost 3 yrs) has only been vaccinated for rabies since I got him (had puppy shot from the breeder) because the vet wouldn’t see him if he wasn’t. He’s been on raw food for 3+ months and seems healthy. I need to find a vet who thinks like Dr. Levy. Do you know of anyone in the South Central part of PA that could help me?

    Thank you so much!
