The Future of Veterinary Care: Integrative Medicine, Nutrition, and Team-Based Approaches

In this episode, Dr Barbara Wilson shares over five decades of veterinary experience and her passion for integrative medicine. We explore how combining traditional treatments with holistic approaches such as balanced nutrition, preventative therapies, herbal medicine, and owner education can transform outcomes for animals. Dr Wilson highlights why a team-based model, ongoing care beyond the clinic, and strong communication between vets and pet owners are essential to fill the gaps in modern veterinary practice. From nutrition and behaviour to collaboration and community support, this conversation reveals practical ways veterinarians and pet owners can create long-term wellbeing for animals. Whether you’re a practitioner, a student, or a dedicated pet parent, you’ll gain insights into how integrative veterinary medicine is shaping the future of animal care.
