Hi Carole,
Glad to give you some more "food for thought!" Please keep me posted!
Challenges are not always comfortable, but you sound like you are definitely up to this one! Keep up the fine work.

Hi Dr. Getty,
Thought I'd let you know that I think the Quiessence is doing the trick for Grace. Within 3 weeks she seemed more calm, and less tense and cranky. Even the dominant behavior subsided. Now I did work on re-establishing my dominance, but I don't think it would have worked so fast without the Quiessence. Of course, it is possible her behavior was hormonal as we're in that fall transition period, but I think the Quiessence really made the difference. So another problem solved by nutrition! 
Thanks for your help, Dr. Getty. I hope you and your family, four-legged and otherwise, have a wonderful holiday season.

Hi Carole!
What an excellent report! I am so pleased to hear that the Quiessence has made a significant improvement in her demeanor. Oh, I'm sure your expertise had something to do with it, too! But, I expect that Quiessence contributed to her being better able to follow your instructions.
Thanks for the feedback!
