#191 Raising Healthy Dogs Using Raw Food, Natural Supplements & Homeopathy with Dr Nick Thompson
Nick Thompson is a vet that has been fighting for responsible, species-appropriate raw food feeding for pets for over 25 years. Nick is Founding President of the international Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (www.rfvs.info) and has co-authored a pioneering worldwide survey of 79 vets and their experiences feeding raw food. He has co-organised international raw food conferences for the RFVS since 2012.
In 1999, Nick established his specialist practice, Holisticvet (www.holisticvet.co.uk). Now based in Corsham, near Bath, he offers homeopathy, natural nutrition and herbal medicine and a lot of good old-fashioned common sense for dogs and horses. His pet topics are gastroenterology and the microbiome and the misuse of pharmaceuticals in medicine. He loves researching all aspects of human and animal nutrition.
Nick is a regular contributor to YouTube discussions on raw feeding and blogs to forward the raw feeding cause. Nick also shares his passion for raw feeding with a nutritional consultancy service to the premier raw pet food companies in the UK and Europe. He has lectured and consulted in Raw Food, Nutrition and Medicine across the world.
