During her 30-year career as a DVM, Dr Ruth Roberts has become one of the nation’s foremost experts in holistic and integrative veterinary medicine.  After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1990, Dr Roberts began her career practicing traditional, Western medicine. The onset of simultaneous health challenges for both her and her dog Arnold, however, prompted Dr Roberts to seek solutions outside of the traditional realm of veterinary care she had learned in her textbooks.

Dr  Roberts furthered her education by absorbing the principles of Eastern Veterinary Medicine at the Chi Institute in Florida. Her studies there would eventually form the foundation for her philosophy that “good health begins in the bowl.” She is certified in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology and Food Therapy.

In 2006, Dr Roberts founded The Original Crockpot Diet and continues to see the dramatic results it makes in the health of her patients. She is a leading consultant in integrative veterinary medicine and advises clients in the United States and internationally through her website DrRuthRoberts.com.
