Dr. Judy Morgan: A Trailblazer in Holistic Veterinary Medicine
When it comes to revolutionizing pet health through holistic care, Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT stands as one of the most influential voices in the pet industry. As a veterinarian, certified veterinary food therapist, author, and speaker, she has dedicated her career to bridging the gap between traditional and holistic medicine for pets.
Celebrating Women in the Pet Industry
March is Women’s History Month, and at Garden State Pet Center, we are shining a spotlight on women who are making history in the pet industry. These are the women who are pioneering change, advancing pet health, and leaving a lasting impact on the way we care for our animals. One such woman is Dr. Judy Morgan, whose expertise in integrative medicine has transformed the lives of countless pets and their owners.
Dr. Judy Morgan’s Journey in Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Morgan didn’t always practice holistic medicine. She started her career as a conventional veterinarian, following the standard protocols taught in veterinary school. However, she quickly realized that many pets, especially those with chronic conditions like allergies, arthritis, and digestive issues, weren’t thriving on conventional treatments alone.
Looking for a better way, she studied Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), including acupuncture, food therapy, and chiropractic care, and became certified in these fields. Through her experience, she saw firsthand how natural, food-based healing could change pets’ lives, leading her to integrate holistic therapies with conventional veterinary practices.
Advocating for Fresh, Species-Appropriate Nutrition
One of Dr. Morgan’s biggest contributions to the pet industry is her passionate advocacy for fresh, whole-food nutrition. She teaches pet owners to move away from highly processed commercial kibble and embrace home-cooked meals, raw diets, and species-appropriate nutrition based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) principles.
Her work emphasizes:
Food as Medicine – Understanding that certain proteins and ingredients have warming, cooling, or neutral effects on the body, helping pet owners choose the best foods based on their pets' individual needs.
Avoiding Harmful Ingredients – Educating pet owners on the dangers of artificial preservatives, synthetic vitamins, and rendered meats found in many commercial pet foods.
Balancing Diets Naturally – Showing pet parents how to create nutritionally complete, whole-food diets without relying on synthetic additives.
Books, Courses, and Education for Pet Parents
Dr. Morgan has taken her mission beyond the exam room, writing books, hosting online courses, and giving lectures to educate pet owners worldwide. Some of her popular books include:
Yin & Yang Nutrition for Dogs – A guide to healing your pet through food based on TCVM principles.
Canine Kitchen Capers – A cookbook with healthy, home-cooked recipes for dogs.
From Needles to Natural – Her personal journey from conventional vet to holistic healer.
Her blog, YouTube channel, and online community provide ongoing education, pet food recipes, and holistic pet care advice to thousands of pet owners looking to improve their animals' health naturally.
