Dr Heidi Ward-McGrath
BVSc-Veterinarian and Entrepreneur
Dr. Heidi Ward-McGrath is a director of an award-winning Veterinary practice, a published researcher, and an astute entrepreneur who has developed and is continuing to develop a range of successful natural animal products.
Dr. Heidi prides herself on being an advocate for natural health in animals, pushing the boundaries of surgery with her vast knowledge and experience in orthopaedics and limb-salvage surgery. Along with a passion for clinical nutrition and dermatology, Dr Heidi has migrated towards dealing with pets with intractable allergies and skin conditions. She is also fervent about geriatric medicine and adores seeing old cats get a new ‘lease of life’.
