There are board certified vet. nutritionists that support a raw diet. To say there are none is absurd. Further, most of those vets do have a doctorate of vet. medicine and/or PhD's (Dr. Alicia McWatters has her Ph.D) and/or soley focus on nutrition. I'll list the board certified vets later. In my previous posts I just quickly listed vets, and I didn't know you ONLY wanted board certified vets who approved raw diets. Here is another well respected DVM from Ohio State who supports a raw diet.

Anyways. I'll post more later when I have time.
