About our board. The four specialists above are independent veterinarians employed by their own universities and practices — not HolistaPet employees. They contribute expert-authored articles in their fields of specialty and advise on our editorial approach. Dr. Stewart, HolistaPet's Chief Veterinary Officer, guides our company's overall wellness standards and formulation approach. None formulate or endorse specific products beyond that role.
