kitty j says i just got back from the vet and it was very disappointing to hear that
they disapprove nearly everything from quality canned foods to raw yeah you're absolutely right
unfortunately the major kibble manufacturers sponsored the american veterinary medical
association and the avma is the organization that accredits schools for their dvm their
doctor veterinary medicine curriculum and i've had veterinarians comment on my videos and say that
these kibble companies have a very heavy influence on the education that they receive and even after
that in practice some of these kibble companies even sponsor lunches for the staff they give them
free food so that they can feed it to their pets and then they feel comfortable recommending it
because they're feeding it to their own cats it's very dicey hey friends it's jess and jericho and
kitty j goes on they're totally against raw diet but then says they never had a cat get
sick or die from it in the 30 years since becoming a veterinarian but it's still a big no
see this is another thing that's dicey you know a lot of vets will say we need the clinical feeding
trials we need the clinical studies you know it's not in our textbooks it's not in what we
learned in school but when you're in practice for over 30 years you have your own clinical feeding
trials you have your own clinical studies i mean you're taking urine you're taking blood work
you're taking stool samples you're taking a physical exam so you know exactly what's
happening in these cats and you know what they're feeding you know what their lifestyle is like you
know what their environment is like you know you have a relationship with their owners i understand
again that you can't prescribe common sense but at the same time like you have your own clinical
study right there in your practice i mean 30 years that's way longer than any clinical feeding
trial most feeding trials established by aafco these these guidelines they only last 26 weeks
and there's only six out of eight of the animals that have to pass the feeding trial
and those are aafco guidelines which pet food manufacturers have to abide by so
30 years of clinical experience you know you're talking about and if none of the cats have gotten
sick or died from eating this diet but then you take that against the cats that are eating
kibble and and wet canned food you know probably low quality wet canned food how many of those cats
are sick how many of those cats have died how many of those cats have serious health issues now i'm
not saying that raw is a cure-all for everything but when done properly especially if you've never
had cats that get sick and die from it clearly those clients were doing it properly you know that
that means something that that should be valuable to you and you should kind of take a step back
and realize wow you know these cats eating a raw diet are doing well these cats that aren't eating
a raw diet aren't doing well you know these are 30 years worth of clients that you have cats that
have been adopted rescued from the streets gotten from a breeder they live in different homes maybe
some are multiple cats maybe some are single cats there's a lot of variety there and you have a lot
of data to work with so i would encourage any vets that might be listening to kind of take a step
back and questions things a bit i know that that's not what you're taught in school and i know that
you don't want to lose your license i understand that but at the same time you are in business to
make cats healthy and and dogs too help them live a thriving life so maybe just question
things a bit you know i mean i didn't question things for a long time and now here i am and
have a whole business about it and you know helping people feed their cats better and it's
very fulfilling and i'm not stressed or feeling overworked kitt j also says i'm changing vets
after that he sounds like a salesman and he didn't trust that i do my own research and that's another
thing that i would encourage vets to consider you obviously you want your clients to trust you and
you you want to also trust your clients and you know now we have the internet is so big and
people are going to do their own research people should do their own research that's that's great
an educated client is always going to be best because they care about their cats the most
they care about researching they care about doing the best for their cats they want to learn from
multiple sources rather than relying on just one and that's also another reason why i say look into
the resources do your own research don't just blindly follow what i say or anyone do your own
research and form your own opinion that's very very important and if you want to check out my
