I found this a good site when I researched all the points my vet made: The Many Myths of Raw Feeding

I can't wait to take Milo in again so he can see how much healthier his coat is, how his energy levels are more constant, his muscle is more defined and how much better he smells! Then see if he still wants to tell me raw is no good!

And I've never been charged £30.00 for a consultation either.

Just because he has no training in nutrition and doesn't understand raw feeding doesn't mean he doesn't care!

I'm sorry if your vet doesn't "give a ****!" but some of them do!
