The Healthy Pet Network is led by globally renowned, veterinarian, Dr. Alfred J. Plechner DVM, writer and creative genius, David Spangenburg and internet and business entrepreneurs, Terry & Michael Goldman. Our team dynamic is character based and is motivated by the belief that we will  make a difference. The size and impact of that difference depends on the individual energy we each bring to our collective effort. Our guiding precepts are integrity, fairness and compassion. We are driven by an unconditional love and deep respect for animals and concern for their conditions. We support “outside of the box” innovation and are firm believers in challenging the status quo to be far better than it already is.

Dr Alfred J. Plechner’s greatest achievement lies in the discovery that a great many pet health problems are interrelated to the hormonal irregularities and immune system imbalances that are the hallmarks of the syndrome that Dr Plechner discovered and the Plechner Protocol, that he developed to determine and adjust these deadly imbalances, that cause a number of catastrophic diseases in animals and people.

 

Dr Alfred Plechner was critically instrumental in ending the use of vacuum chambers for euthanasia and initiating the use of lethal injections when absolutely necessary. He assisted in the passage of legislation which halted interstate shipping of young and genetically damaged puppies and kittens.

 

Dr Plechner conceived and created Stonewood Meadows, his wildlife preserve in the Santa Monica Mountains. The preserve offered various governmental agencies an opportunity to relocate captured and injured indigenous wildlife. Dr Plechner cared for, repaired and then relocated the healthy wildlife back into their natural environment thereby reducing the amount of animals euthanized by the agencies. His battle with the California Coastal Commission over the creation of Stonewood  Meadows Preserve also set a major legal precedent in the ongoing Wildlife Preservation vs. Recreational Usage legal debate.

 

Dr Plechner also formulated the recipes for the first; non-meat animal diet, lamb and rice animal diet  and limited antigen animal diets in the world.

The Healthy Pet Network will work very closely with the many online and offline animal groups to build an alliance for the future of whole animal health.

 

Our passion and dream is to develop an animal sanctuary in the mountains. This will be to provide a home, food, medical attention, and love for the homeless or injured animals. We also hope to be able to provide grants to nonprofit animal rescue shelters throughout the world.
