Many veterinary edu. programs related to nutrition are funded by the pet food industry. Some vets get kickbacks from the pet food industry for selling their food.
There are just as many, if not, more horror stories with kibble feeding than raw.
Majority of vets. don't support home-cooking either- Saying it is not balanced and complete.
Overall, the pet food industry has existed for less than 100 years. What to people think pets at before kibble and canned food was created???? |
Vets do not make big kick backs from selling food it's a myth made up by people to scare other people into not feeding the prescription dog food there dog might really need because they "think" they know what a dog needs better. There is more issues with kibble because more people feed it. I doubt if a vet knew the recipe was coming from a vet nutritionist and that you are using a balanced supplement that they would have issues at least not the vets I go to. The biggest problem is with the people who think they can pull up any recipe or just feed anything to there dog. I very much do not support or condone Purina in fact any of there products scare me I would not trust them nor will I support them. But the other makers of prescription kibble have saved the lives of many dogs and increased there quality of life. My opinion is if you want to be safe feed cooked food that you make but that you cook the ingredients removing the risk in the food and use a vet nutritionist recipe with a balanced supplement. Why take the risk with raw and just cook it? It's a myth that the nutrients and stuff are cooked out. Dogs mostly ate cooked left overs from people.
