BIB: There are people who think the same about doctors and nurses who work for the NHS as if they’re not currently striking because they get paid an absolute pittance…One I vaguely know through work (a well educated, intelligent professional individual who works in a science based industry) thinks vets are all on the make and just peddling drugs for profit. To be fair there may well be some that are but I’ve never felt the one we take our pets to has anything but their best interests at heart and is an advocate of good diet to prevent the need for medical interventions.
This is totally off topic, but I’ve noticed that a lot of the “raw feeder” crowd tend to get a bit conspiracy theoryish about vets too. Many seem to have this idea that the reason vets don’t want people to give their dogs raw food is so that they can get them hooked on crappy expensive dry food instead (although in the absence of some really specific health condition, do many people even buy dog food from their vet regularly?), rather than the true reason which is that feeding your dog raw food massively increases your chance of getting a nasty bacterial infection.
