Dr. Joy Kong argues vets should teach real food nutrition instead of relying on commercial kibble. She cites Hippocrates' "food is thy medicine" and says diet should be preventive care, not a cost that forces owners to choose between feeding their animals and paying vet bills.
You either spend your money on food or you spend it at the vet. I want our profession to be here to support animals and living optimal, long, pain free lives and be there to support them in their regenerative process rather than setting them up for a situation that ends up like we currently have because we aren't taught nutrition. And I'm talking about real nutrition, whole food nutrition, which goes back to the time of Hippocrates. Food is thy medicine. And so if we look at that, we look at kibble, your plate of home cooked meal and everything I just said, does that kibble really look like medicine to you?
