A short film with a beautiful message.
A Day In The Life Of The Dog Health Guy was the opening to the live Canine Masters event on November 15th 2025, in Melbourne, Australia, at The Capitol Theatre known as "The most beautiful cinema in the world.”
We wanted to commence our inaugural event with a film that we can all relate to – something that celebrates the powerful impact that our dogs have on our lives. Thank you to Jason from Jason Hodge films for making the vision for this fun project come to life.
Thank you to Ben Miller from Forever Digital for filming our podcasts the day before the big event and for being part of the camera crew on the day.
Thank you to the Australia Broadcasting Group for capturing the event in cinematic 4k so that we can share with everyone soon.
Thank you to Dr. Isla Fishburn for her audio contribution titled, "An Open Blessing for the Sacred of Life and Our Place Within It”.
On behalf of myself Phivo from Augustine Approved and Michelle from the Natural Pet Farmacy, we would like to thank everyone who came out to support the natural industry and for making our first event a success. It was inspiring to see everyone coming together all in the spirit of learning.
A special thank you to our international speakers Rita Hogan and partner Heather, Dr. Michael Dym, Amy Renz and her sister Dr. Dani, Caroline Ingraham and her husband Martin, and our national speaker Dr. Matthew Muir.
