Hosted by world renowned author & herbalist Greg Tilford, Your Vital Pet is dedicated to providing cutting edge information about current trends and topics in the world of natural and holistic animal care. Through lively interviews with leading experts and visionaries from around the world, the program educates listeners about the what, how and whys of adopting and following a natural, more healthful path for their pets, while illuminating the deeper reasons of why “going holistic” is not only vital to the wellness of companion animals, but also to the wellness of human kind. Greg Tilford is author of five books about herbal medicine and natural wellness, including the acclaimed "Herbs for Pets - The Natural Way to Enhance Your Pet's Life", a book that many of his readers are calling "the Bible of herbal medicine for pets". A highly respected international speaker and teacher, Greg has delivered his work at institutions of veterinary medicine throughout America and as far away as the the Japan School of Veterinary Medicine. He was named "2019 National Teacher of the Year" by the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA) Council of Elders. He delivered the keynote address at the 2019 annual conference of the AHVMA in Nashville, Tennessee, where he received a standing ovation for his lecture, "Earth, Herbs and Animal Wellness"--- which Greg regards as "just a glimpse" of his work to come in 2026.
