The prospect of feeding raw food to dogs and cats can be a contentious one. Many pet owners who turned to raw feeding are discouraged to learn that their current Veterinarian does not support the move. Some even research raw feeding after desperately searching to find a solution to heal an ailing pet after tests and medicines do little, only to abandon the effort when the idea is shut down by their Veterinarian.
While many do not support it, there are Veterinarians who agree with raw feeding and others who try to remain neutral on the topic to appease their clients. If an attempt to breeze over the topic of raw feeding is met with resistance from a Veterinarian, it may be best to find a new clinic.
When there is no known local network of raw feeders, there may be local raw feeding groups on Yahoo Groups. Other optional groups to search for might be based on local holistic pet care, local breeding, or even anti-vaccinations, another topic that often pits pet owners against Veterinarians.
Many web sites are now gearing themselves towards localized search. A search for raw feeding may bring to light helpful local links and authors at sites like Examiner.com.
There are many healthy pet food shops opening around the country. These shop owners may be very knowledgeable on local holistic or raw-friendly Veterinarians or know other pet owners who are.
Many local farms are now selling natural, raw pet food as communities are focusing more on fresh food from local suppliers. These farmers may know of more natural based Veterinarians or pet owners who feed their own food from the farm.
Online review sites offer a wealth of information about businesses. First-hand experiences both good and bad are shared about Veterinarians on sites like ZooToo.com’s local search and the local listings at Catster.com and Dogster.com.
Raw feeding is a trusted technique that helps dogs and cats reach their full health potential. Veterinarians might be quicker to prescribe a food from a company they have had a business relationship with for years, but that doesn’t mean that pet owners must feed any food their Veterinarian suggests.
