Our society is thoroughly convinced of Veterinarians’ qualifications with respect to knowledge of our cats’ nutrition. As a cat owner, we never even consider the alternative. But the question is; could we be wrong?

Other pet owners place their pets’ nutritional needs in the hands of uncaring commercial pet food companies. Why? Because pet food companies produce “Bank account swelling ads” that tell consumers, like you and others, that their food is wholesome, nutritional, 100% natural and complete. The ads suggest that your pet could look and feel equally as good as the pet/pets that appear in their commercials.

For the most part, we are trusting people and therefore we have no reason to doubt their claims. When the commercial pet food companies put a high price on their food, we are totally convinced that their product is good

That’s what we’ve been told now let me tell you the truth

Little nutritional training to Vets is administered in Vet schools and that training is often given by persons that are loyal to the pet food companies. The commercial pet food companies donate money, equipment, banners and free food to Veterinarian schools. What a great long-term business plan – it’s buying loyalty and it puts money in the pockets of commercial pet food companies and the Veterinarians.

If the Veterinarians never question what they’ve been taught and chooses not to do any independent research, they will continue their loyalty to the pet food industry until they retire.

Our domestic cats’ diet should closely resemble the diets of the wild cats that roam the African and asian continents. Commercial pet food companies make these unprovable claims that their foods are nutritional, wholesome, 100% natural and complete. The truth is that their foods violate the fact that cats are carnivores and should never eat stuff they call food.

Most pet food company’s products contain grains. Cats are obligate carnivores and because of this, commercial pet foods are full of ingredients they should never eat. The digestive physiology of carnivores is ill-suited to digest these ingredients and they often cause illnesses.

Then there are the preservatives both artificial and natural. Ethoxyquin, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are artificial preservatives and all have been linked to cancer and other health-related problems. Although the Food and Drug Administration has received numerous complaints from consumers that fed their pets food containing these preservatives, the FDA has refused to act.

Many Veterinarians lack the necessary training to offer nutritional advice for our pets. Their allegiances are to the pet food industry and making money, not our pets.

Selling harmful foode to you for your pets is a blatant disregard to the creed they swore to uphold “First do no harm.”

To maintain your cat’s health, you have to take control of their diets. You should learn what’s beneficial for your cat and the foods to avoid.
