Question:

With regard to your advice to so many people and their animals, how is it that doctors like you can give us the answers we need and it seems local vets cannot? Please take this with all due respect.

E.C., Minneapolis, MN Jun 27, 2010

Answer:

I appreciate your words of support and encouragement, with due respect for the veterinary profession.

Local vets cannot give the answers from my perspective as long as they selling so many dubious kinds of manufactured cat and dog foods and prescribing highly overpriced "therapeutic" diets; insisting on annual "booster" vaccinations and teeth-cleaning under general anesthesia; and engaging in the routine de-clawing of cats and cropping of dogs' ears. For further details on veterinary economic and ethical conflicts, see related articles at my website, www.twobitdog.com/DrFox/.
