Many pet care-givers are convinced that Veterinarians are highly trained to dispense nutritional advice. Their beliefs are so strong that they never second guess it. Cats owners opinion of Vets is so engrained that they never even reckon that this belief could be incorrect.

When we see commercial pet food ads on TV or read their ads in print, we have no reason to doubt their claims. So we, the trusting public, is so convinced by their ads we place the nutritional needs of our pets in their hands.

Unsuspecting pet owners believe what they hear and buy the advertised pet food. Some commercial pet food companies even place a premium price on their products to convince pet owners their product is superior in quality.

That’s what they say but can it be right?

Up and coming Veterinarians, while in Vet schools, are bombarded with commercial pet food companys’ propergander. The small nutritional training they do receive is done so by people with a vested interest in the pet food companies. They are buying Veterinarians’ loyalty and this loyalty usually last throughout the Vet’s career.

That’s buying loyalty and that loyalty continues, barring any independent research by the Vet, throughout the Vet’s career. That loyalty translates into cash for the Vet and the pet food companies.

The claims that the majority of pet food companies make, regarding their food, is fake. The diet of our domestic cats should mimic their predecessors but they don’t. The commercial Pet food companies use cheap and often harmful ingredients that cats should never eat.

Cats are obligate carnivores. Their physiology is not designed to digest most of the ingredients that most pet food companies place in their foods. The grains and other carbohydrates will cause illnesses in cats. They should be avoided.

Although the Food and Drug Administration has been inundated with complaints from consumers regarding their pets becoming ill after consuming foods containing these preservatives; Ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT, the FDA has chose to remain on the sidelines.

Evidence strongly suggests that many Veterinarians have been bought and paid for by the pet food industry. Moreover, it’s unreasonable for us to reckon they can provide unbias, independent advice regarding our cats’ nutritional needs. Vets lack the training to offer nutritional advice on our pets and making money takes presidence over independent research – educating themselves on the proper nutrition required for our pets should be their main concern but it’s not.

Many Vets ignore the oath they sworn to uphold “First do no harm.” They blatantly sell foods to you that cause harm to your pets

Like your cat(s) enough to take the time to learn what foods are excellent for them. Don’t leave this chore to strangers – you need to be the one that learns what’s excellent for you pet and feed them those foods.
