Just to add to this mate - and correct me if I'm wrong here please, but...when vets are in training at vet school I was quite surprised that in all the years od training they do to qualify, they only do approx 4hrs of training on diets and petfoods.........every vet surgery that I know of work with the pet food companies to promote and sell their products via the surgery's, gaining a cut of the profit and the vets put there own mark up on it, which ends up in their tills........so yes they will do there best to promote this and dismiss other ways of feeding.........and nearly all vets I have come across dismiss the RAW diets.....i think through a lack of knowledge about them........it was only a few months back I spoke to an orthapedic specialist about RAW feeding as he asked what we fed our dogs on........his jaw hit the deck big time when i told him, and his response was' have you not heard of capalobacter and salmonella'.......music to my ears  ......we had the discussion, I offered to lend him a book or too, but I think his mind was made and no chuffin JCB was gonna budge him......aw well his loss.....maybe one day he will see his error of judgement, which I hope it's not too late by then
