Okay, this isn't a super serious thing. I just wanted to get input from everyone. I have this person that I'm friends with on my Facebook (a cousin of a friend), who adamantly believes that "premium" pet foods (kibbles and such) are healthy. This all started when I began posting about the raw food diet (which I've only recently heard about) to inform my fellow pet owners. I'm not trying to force this onto anyone, more just informing and offering links to some of the awesome pages that I've been provided on this site.
Anyways, this person believes that her vet and the "class she took on pet biology" is more informative than the "unreliable websites" that I've provided. I've pretty much laid out all of the facts to her about how bad kibble is, etc., and she won't accept it. She continues to say things like "my friend feeds Wellness to her dog and its fine" and "you can't blame the food companies for health problems" etc etc etc. I don't care that much, I just wonder how you would go about trying to show that ... seriously, kibble is bad.
What do you say to help inform the people in denial?
And on a side note: What do you do when your vet disagrees with your pet's raw diet, or if they absolutely will not listen to anything you say and continue discouraging it?
* She's majoring to become a veterinarian, and it bothers me to see someone like that going to become another vet that will continue promoting poorly made dry foods and adamantly discouraging any other alternatives. :/
