I'm glad to hear that she doesn't cook or use grains. I have tried to appeal to cost concious petowners, unfortunately most of the vets around hear will tell clients that it is better to buy the cheapest processed **** than to feed a potencially "dangerous" raw food diet. Its ridiculas. I remember one of our vets jumped all over me when one of our shelter cats was found to have pancreatitus. In that case however I smuggly pointed out that the cat had been feed kibble and further suggested that had he been fed a natural raw food diet he would never have suffered from pancreatitus. That vet doesn't discuss the "food issue" with me anymore. For the shelter, all our food is donated (no way we could afford to buy food for 35 cats daily); the best we can do is supplement with fresh food when needed.
