Dr Nick Thompson went to great lengths to help us find a vet in the USA who could help us get a health certificate to repatriate our family back to the UK. My husband and his dog are happily now in England, and myself and our son and remaining dogs will follow in my husband’s footsteps this Spring. Thank you Nick for your caring professionalism.

I cannot recommend Nick highly enough!! His genuine care and love for animals is just exceptional. He has been such a big support not only for my dog. Woody has been diagnosed with IBD,and for a first time dog mummy this has been a huge challenge. Keeping him on a hydrolysed kibble and suppressing his symptoms with long term steroids was not the ideal solution for me..that's why I contacted Nick. Thanks to his expertise and guidance through food trials,building up his microbiome with natural remedies Woody is thriving...he doesn't need to be on a long term medication and is eating a healthy,single protein diet..I couldn't be happier!!! Flare ups will happen again,the boy is a little scavenger..but I learned so much and feel a lot more confident to deal with everything..and I know,Nick is always there if we need him. Thank you Nick for everything you have done for us!!! Jessica &Woody

We had been struggling to find a solution to our dog's ongoing skin condition for over 2 years, which was significantly impacting his quality of life. We had been seeing a conventional vet trying to control it using conventional veterinary medicine, consisting of a cocktail of drugs, which seemed to be masking the symptoms rather than dealing with the problem, as well as affecting his mood and making him seem depressed. We knew about Nick the Holistic Vet from Facebnok and we were keen to try a more 'Holistic' approach, so asked to be referred by our vets. Thankfully, after our initial consultation Nick was keen to work with us as he was confident that he could help us improve our dog's quality of life. From the outset we felt that Nick was very receptive to our comments observations, and concerns and genuinely listened to us. Nick always took the time to explain things to us and was very thorough in his approach, exploring multiple avenues to ensure that we ruled out certain clinical conditions. Throughout the treatment we always felt that Nick worked with us as part of a team, so felt wholly part of the process. With Nick's guidance we put in a number of changes to our dog's diet and took care to control his internal and external environment with regards to exposure to allergens, and added in specific protocols recommended by Nick, including homeopathic remedies. We now have a nine year old dog that is happy and energetic, full of zest for life, and often people think he is much younger than his years. We continue to receive advice and support from Nick and will continue to do so in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending Nick if you are looking for a Holistic approach.
