Dr. Judy Morgan, America’s best known natural pet advocate, holistic veterinarian of over 38 years and owner of Naturally Healthy Pets, is hosting her Naturally Healthy Pets Experience educational tour in St. Charles, IL on August 5, 2023!

Pet parents can participate in a jam-packed day of expert speakers and exhibitors sharing the latest information, products, and the true science behind holistic pet care.

“Now that more pet parents are learning the benefits of feeding their pets a fresh/raw food diet, and using natural supplements, the need for these types of educational events is critical,” says Dr. Morgan.

Dr. Morgan will serve as keynote speaker for the event, speaking about the Six Ways to Keep Pets Naturally Healthy, Both Mentally and Physically and will empower us to advocate for our pets to ensure they live happier, healthier lives. She will also take questions from the audience and be available to sign any of her five published books.

She will be joined by two other well-known and locally based holistic health professionals:
Angela Ardolino, founder and formulator of CBD DOG Health and MycoDog, and Billy Hoekman, Vice President of Nutrition and Communication for Green Juju.
