I am not looking to pick a fight but I can't just be quiet when people are being misinformed |
That's a pretty broad, unfair generalization if you ask me. I don't deny the fact that many vets recommend foods based off what they are gettting paid by the manufacturers and not all vets are highly knowledgeable in regards to pet nutrition, individualized pet nutrition at that. But some are. Some vets and specialists within their clinics HAVE gone to great lengths to educate themselves in the areas of nutrition and can be a tremendous help to those trying to determine the proper diet.
As you stated about misinformation, I'm not trying to pick a fight either, but it's not fair or accurate to automatically discredit every vet out there with such a broad declaration.
