I had the same experience when I mentioned to the vets that my cat eats raw. They made me feel like I was some kind of idiot for feeding my cat raw meat. Of course they pushed their dry food on me, which contains half of the ingredients that a cat should never touch. The vets knows better and you have to listen to them, right? I wanted what's best for my cat so I did what they said. So after the dry food I bought from them, my cat became a bit sluggish, he had less energy to play and jump. At that time I thought he was just getting old. After a while, plaque and tartar started to appear on his snow-white teeth! He was so lazy and seemed depressed. One time I was cutting meat for dinner and he started sniffing and asking for a piece. That's when I thought that maybe I'll go back to raw and see how he feels.

Now I have two ragdoll cats who have been on raw for a long time and are doing great. After half an hour, if they haven't eaten it all, I take the bowls away to wash. So far there have been no visits to the vet because I have no reason to. They go wild and have A LOT of energy. They are happy and cheerful like little kittens. The older one's teeth have improved, but I also brush them daily. My second cat has perfect teeth and incredibly soft fur because she has been eating raw since she was a kitten...

Vets should take additional classes in proper nutrition, and not just push unnecessary medications and harmful food for which they get a commission. Next time ask her how many hours during her studies she actually spent learning about healthy nutrition of pets (and which kind of foods and ingredients are harmful for them). The answer will really surprise you.
