ABOUT THE FILM
THE MAD VET follows Dr. Tom Lonsdale, a 76-year-old Australian veterinarian whose clinical observations challenged conventional wisdom about pet nutrition.
For 35 years, Tom has documented how dietary choices affect the long-term health of carnivorous pets. His research into natural feeding approaches has sparked scientific debate and inspired veterinarians worldwide to reconsider their assumptions about species-appropriate nutrition.
Through intimate access to Tom's veterinary practice, we witness the dramatic health transformations of pets whose owners chose alternative feeding methods. We also follow Tom's collaboration with colleagues who are asking difficult questions about the relationship between commercial interests and veterinary education — questions that have prompted government enquiries into the pet food industry and its influence on the profession.
The veterinary profession is under enormous pressure. Practitioner suicide rates sit at six times the Australian national average, and many vets feel caught between what they were taught and what they observe in practice. Featuring some of the world's most renowned veterinary and scientific experts, this film seeks to open an honest conversation about the forces shaping veterinary care — and to drive meaningful change that serves both animals and the people who dedicate their lives to treating them.
This is a story about scientific inquiry, professional courage, and one man's unwavering commitment to animal welfare — even when it meant standing alone.
Periodontal disease affects 85% of pets over three years old, yet veterinary schools spend limited time teaching nutrition compared to pharmaceutical and commercial diet protocols.
Tom's decades of clinical evidence show that carnivores evolved to process specific foods that keep their teeth clean and bodies healthy. His documentation of patient transformations—from chronic illness to vitality—demonstrates outcomes that challenge standard feeding recommendations
With veterinary medicine increasingly influenced by corporate partnerships, Tom's independent research provides crucial perspective on what truly serves animal health versus what serves commercial interests.
