Replies on Reason #2 to Fire Your Vet: Raw Food Attitude

Great question, though it sounds fear-based. If one wasn't in touch with a large cadre of raw feeders, one might think these things are common. In fact, as the decades roll by and thousands are feeding raw food, we're not seeing or even hearing reports of these. Raw bones are highly digestible, for example. Otherwise, hundreds would be obstructed and in for surgery on a regular basis. Wouldn't I be hearing about this on a regular basis from my thousands of readers?

Probably time for you to cast a wider net and start listening to those who didn't balk at feeding a diet far superior to anything in a bag or a can and are having the healthiest animals in their lives as a result. I know in my practice, the ones who made the switch to a balanced raw diet rarely needed my services. And if they went to a conventional vet, they were often met with "OMG, how did you get Sadie to shine like this?? She looks the best I've ever seen her!" The reveal that it was raw food induced has literally made the closed-minded vets back away and not believe what they just saw and felt in that amazingly soft luxurious coat. I'd suggest you not be one of those, especially if you're a vet. You'll be regularly losing patients from those who know better what's possible by thinking outside the box you were trained in.
