Thank you for being you. Pet owners are finally beginning to wake up. The small three veterinarian practice that I used to go to was recently bought out by one of the large corporations. They didn’t tell any of their clients I heard a rumor so I asked one of the technicians and they confirmed it. most of their clients probably don’t even realize it. Those big companies come in and they offer big money and new equipment to younger or older veterinarians who are ready to retire and they take advantage of it. Vets never used to sell Purina now they all do.

Yes, it is happening all over and it saddens me. The corporations are telling them how to practice by stocking the shelves with drugs and products they get deals on from the pharmaceutical companies and food companies.

I am not on FB but because "Saving Pets One Pet @ A time is public I am able to read it. 2 of our 6 cats ended up in the ER hospital this past Sunday. They were eating one canned food Instinct on the bad list. One now has a lot of problems - kidney, pancreatitis, heart etc. The vet thought it was odd that both got sickly at the same time and that it could be a virus or toxin that caused this event. They put him on Science Diet Prescription Kidney Canned food. Which makes me sick!! I am trying to get him on weruva lower phos foods instead. We have an appt Tuesday with a new vet. But I am afraid she will push the prescription diets also. We live in Scottsdale so after our Tuesday appt I will call you Dr. Beug for a consultation appt. I am glad to find someone else that knows about the food problem and takes it seriously.

If you agree with this article please share it wherever you can, all we want is to be informed so we stop poisoning and torturing our animals ignorantly and being naïve to what's going on

My mom had to put her 12 year old cat to sleep. Rare lung cancer. But the vet admitted she had her cat on hospice care for the same thing. How rare is it really?

Cancer rates have gone way up in animals, as they have humans. Cushings used to be a rare disease and now every other dog has it.

I didn’t get a chance to ask the vet bit my mom was using lightweight litter and it caused skin issues. We had her over for a few months and used regular litter and fed her tuna. The lightweight litter looks like it could absorb an oil field, not safe looking at all.

There are so many toxins in and around us these days. We do the best that we can.
