Luckily, more vets are starting to take an interest in nutrition and you can find those that have done their research are recommending raw and homecooked diets more and more. Hopefully more vets will see the value of a species appropriate diet in the future! |
YEP. Kibble was invented in the 1940s by some fella who was trying to think of a way we could save money after the war. His solution was to STOP feeding our pets REAL MEAT and instead, feed them a bunch of grain and rendered animal offal that was left over from the rendering plants - it was cheap, it was LEFT OVER, it was available - it was INVENTED and MARKETED as "pet food" - alas, kibble was invented
FOR US. Not for our animals. Brilliant. Ever since, our pets' health has been in decline.
Oh my god, someone get me a pill - my blood just boiled right out my ears. LOL!
