Most people trust their vet to tell them what the best food for their pet is. Sadly raw foods are rarely one of the options given to the pet owner. In my area the local veternary college receives large amounts of money and supplies from the pet food industry to support the school. If you are familiar with higher education you know that it very much about money. Until the large pet food companies like Hills and others start producing raw foods (don't hold your breath) you will find precious few vets recommending raw food.The vote is just making it official that they will discourage people from feeding raw. It is very sad because many raw foods are as close to the natural diet a dog or cat would eat in nature. You never see a wolf or feral dog robbing the garden of a farmer. It is always the meat supply they are after. |
