So when I originally looked into BARF, i asked my first vet their opinions and my options if i were to change over to this diet. . .
well this first vet said they wouldn't recommend it due to bacteria etc etc..... this is also the same vet that gave stoli some 3/1 or 4/1 (can't remember) between his shoulder blades......
so today I decided to take a different approach with this different vet who works well with stoli and i really like her...
i asked her if she was familiar with holistic care and if she would be able to support stoli's care with natural remedies etc.....
she quickly said yes and that she used alternative meds on both herself and her cats - BUT in the same sentence she said she disagreed with BARF and would not recommend it to a pet with a compromised immune system due to bacteria . . .(again)
now - i wasn't about to begin switching stoli all around when i'm working on getting him top notch. (PS Stoli's blood work FINALLY came back NORMAL!~) but i am seriously considering adding raw to luxor's venison/pea for his allergies.........
am i just bonkers? is there merit in what they are saying? should i just shut up and feed stoli wellness and luxor NB?
