Hi. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone can suggest a solution.
Y'ALL are very savvy about your cat's nutrition, and know all about grain free and high quality, etc.
But most vets don't talk to their clients about it, they just give Science Diet kibble.
So... the general public, including my real-life friends, don't think twice about kibble (and probably think raw diets are preposterous). I have a friend who thinks Fancy Feast is, like, gourmet cat food, haha.
How do I convince my friends to feed wet, grain-free, high quality foods? Most people I know are like, "well, my parents' cat ate purina for their whole lives and she lived to be 18", or... the one thing my friend says that angers me the most is, "well at least purina chow is better than what she would be eating out on the street." :\
I keep telling them that this will reduce vet costs in the long run. But realistically, people don't think about the future, and are lazy. I certainly am that way regarding my own health lol, but I really like my friends' cats and I want them to be healthy!
Any suggestions?
