Is it Ethical for Veterinarians to Recommend Pet Foods?
This article discussed how most Veterinarian Clinic's across the country offer dog and cat food for sale. Some only offer prescription foods specifically for pets needing a diet to address a disease; however, many others offer for sale maintenance dog and cat foods to their clients.
Do veterinarians know enough about pet food to ethically recommend a particular brand of food to their clients?
Many pet owners seek pet food advice from veterinarians because after all they are the experts, or are they? I found this article similar to the argument weather doctors should "recommend" or "sell" vitamins that they believe would work to patients. i believe many doctors and veterinarians prey on there vulnerable patients who believe they are the expert.
