Science and heart — two sides of the same coin in veterinary medicine.
In this episode of Guaranteed Analysis, we’re honored to welcome Lindsey Wendt (DVM, CVA, CVFT, CCRT), a veterinarian whose journey from conventional practice to integrative medicine has been shaped by science, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s best for her patients — including her own dog, Nala.
Together, we explore:
✨ Blending conventional and holistic medicine — why both matter ✨ The power of nutrition and industry misconceptions ✨ Synthetic vs. natural supplements — why the debate isn’t so simple ✨ Preservatives & pet food safety — what pet owners really need to know ✨ The courage to be adventurous in finding better treatments
Dr. Lindsey’s call to be “forever learners” is a breath of fresh air in these often-divisive conversations. Medicine isn’t just about knowledge on paper — it’s about evolving, asking bold questions, and using our collective power to push for transparency and higher standards in pet food.
