Most vets know very little about nutrition. Most of the small animal nutrition classes taught in vet school are EXTREMELY short and are usually taught by a nutritionist from Hill's. Vet students are also offered tons of discounted and free products form Purina and Hills. I get free Purina for my roommate's cat every month. We also get an 80% discount on Hill's and Purina foods. Most vet students take them up on these discounts/free offers because they're living off of student loans. So then they're all set up to push Hill's and Purina once they graduate and start practicing. I was talking to a couple girls in my vet school class and they had never even heard of raw...I couldn't believe that they hadn't even heard of it...just proves to me further that a lot of vet students/vets aren't educated on nutrition
