Vets do not get paid to sell food. Vets are no different than any retailer of pet food: they buy from a distributor, mark it up on average of 30% and sell it.
If food were a moneymaker for the average vet's office, they would push frozen raw food which averages 30-40% higher in price than other foods, and thus has a higher profit margin. Vets would also try to sell food to ALL of their patients and not just patients with health problems that require special diets.
There are many good products to be found at vet offices and healthy pet food stores. It is simply a matter of choosing the right food for your pet.
