Is Pet Food Making Your Animal Sick? The Holistic Vet Explains | Dr Nick Thompson

This Week on The Wellness Way Philly sits down with the trailblazing holistic vet, Dr Nick Thompson, for a conversation every pet owner needs to hear. Founder of Holisticvet Ltd and the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society, Nick is a pioneer in integrative veterinary care. With over 30 years of clinical experience, he blends traditional vet practice with natural nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture—giving animals the kind of health support we all wish we had.

In this episode, they unpack:
• Why most commercial pet food is making animals sick
• The power of raw feeding and species-appropriate diets
• How gut health links to immunity, cancer prevention, and behaviour
• Nick’s battle against pharmaceutical overreach in veterinary care
• How pet owners can take charge of their animal’s health—naturally

Nick doesn’t just treat symptoms. He treats the whole animal. And he’s not afraid to ruffle feathers in the process.
