Many pet owners believe that Veterinarians are thoroughly qualified to dispense nutritional advice. Most believe their nutritional training, without question, is second to none. We have been brainwashed to the point of not even considering the possibility that our Vets may not be as nutritionally trained as we might believe.

Other pet owners place their pets’ nutritional needs in the hands of uncaring commercial pet food companies. Why? Because pet food companies produce “Bank account swelling ads” that tell consumers, like you and others, that their food is wholesome, nutritional, 100% natural and complete. The ads suggest that your pet could look and feel equally as good as the pet/pets that appear in their commercials.

For the most part, we are trusting people and therefore we have no reason to doubt their claims. When the commercial pet food companies put a high price on their food, we are totally convinced that their product is good

Could the commercial pet food companies be hiding the truth from us?

In Veterinarian schools across the country, little nutrition training is given and the little that is given is often administered by pet food company’s employees. Their main objective is to buy loyalty. They achieve their objective by giving cash, equipment, banners and free food to the schools. The up-and-coming Vets receive greatly discounted or free food to sell in their practice.

Barring any independent research by the Veterinarian, this bought loyalty will continue throughout the Veterinarian’s career

The claims that the majority of pet food companies make, regarding their food, is false. The diet of our domestic cats should mimic their predecessors but they don’t. The commercial Pet food companies use cheap and often harmful ingredients that cats should never eat.

Most pet food company’s products contain grains. Cats are obligate carnivores and because of this, commercial pet foods are full of ingredients they should never eat. The digestive physiology of carnivores is ill-suited to digest these ingredients and they often cause illnesses.

Although the Food and Drug Administration has been inundated with complaints from consumers regarding their pets becoming ill after consuming foods containing these preservatives; Ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT, the FDA has decided to remain on the sidelines.

In the final analysis, I’ve shared with you information that many Veterinarians are ill-equipped to provide nutritional advise for your cat or dog. Moreover, many Vets are bought and paid for by the pet food industry and their main objective is to make money.

Many Vets are in direct violation of the oath and creed they’re sworn to uphold - “First do no harm.” They sell, in their offices, foods that are harmful to your pet.

Love your cat(s) enough to take the time to learn what foods are good for them. Don’t leave this chore to strangers - you need to be the one that learns what’s good for you pet and feed them those foods.
