What reason would a vet have to know more about feline nutrition?
WTF? Why don't you ask yourself that question? Have you been through veterinary school? How much do you think they really learn about *feline nutrition*? I like how you answer a question w/ another question. Most vets know quite a bit about "feline nutrition". What's your agenda? Why are you insinuating that vets don't know about nutrition? Don't they see hundreds (or thousands) of cats a year? Don't you think education is an ongoing process? Aren't you still learning--or do you know it all? You didn't answer your own question, btw. |

Most vets know quite a bit about "feline nutrition". Not so. Haven't worked with many vets, have you? Haven't read many posts about the advice many vets give their clients about nutrition, have you? Very little time is spent on nutrition in vet school, and even less time on nutrition for specific species . Most vets receive more "education" in nutrition by petfood manufacturers' reps than they did in vet school. My vet is a retired vet professor and I've worked with many vets over the years, so I can say with reasonable certainty - nutrition isn't most vets strong suit... If you have a vet whose has solid knowledge in feline nutrition... you're lucky.... but he/she is the exception, not the rule. What's your agenda? Jon is simply stating a *fact*. Why are you insinuating that vets don't know about nutrition? Probably because most vets know very little about nutrition.... Don't they see hundreds (or thousands) of cats a year? Yes. But I think most cats are too ****ed off from having a therometer shoved up their asses and jabbed with a needle to teach the vet about nutrition.... Don't you think education is an ongoing process? Not for some people... other than reading petfood company brochures... and passing them on to their clients.... |
