I understand vets aren't nutritionists but everytime I say "I feed raw" I get the most horrified and shocked looks. They actually imply that it's going to kill my cats. I've even had a vet tell me not to give them COOKED chicken because "they should only be eating cat food". - do they even know what goes in cat food??!
So my question is, why are vets so misinformed? Raw is completely based on logic, and what kitties need and get in the wild when they don't have humans telling them what to eat. Is there anything that can be done to educate people? Are vets taught this because of the pet food industry not wanting to lose money? I don't understand.
Maybe there's someone here that is a vet or knows one and can shed some light.
