First Josephine YOU are doing great by researching into what to feed that is what responsible pet owners do.
Thank you!I search because i can.
People rely on their vet's guidance for nutrition because they think vets are educated in this field, but 9/10 vets do NOT know nutrition. It is not an important part of their training. Vets are provided with a two week nutritional course on nutrition.
The majority of vets do not expand their knowledge on this subject.
That is a FACT.
All I can say is, Amen
Amen
You see where i live this is not true.
And you are saying that this is a fact?well it's not.
This is not a fully US forum right?or is it?
I'm saying this person is a lousy pet owner because they don't want to learn how to make better informed decisions for their pets. They are so stuck in the mind frame that since their dogs did well on crap food for years then crap food is alright to feed.
You see this is quite similar to what we eat...people can eat donuts and other things that some people can end up dying after a while...am i wrong?
Someone can eat a huge bowl of strawberries and after a while feeling ok,another person might eat that and end up in hospital.
This can happen to all the pets as well.Also mixed-breeds are not so sensitive as pure breed dogs.
Being a good pet owner is not about spending tons of money on fun stuff for your pets, all the luxuries in the world does NOT make a good pet owner. Luxuries given to our pets for their enjoyment is done because it makes our pets happy but thats not what being a good pet owner is all about.
Being a good pet owner is about responsibility...it's about taking responsibility for the animal you get every single day, in every single aspect.
Not really, to have a pet(companion) it surely needs a lot of money,time and love
So you are saying that those people that don't know about the nutricients,don't even know how to read or they just don't have the internet to search things that they are not good owners?
I'm on this forum for the animals and animals only. Not to show everyone how "great" of a pet owner I'am. First I would never call myself a "great" pet owner. I'am NOT modest in regards to how my animals are cared for and the time I have taken to go beyond being a "great" pet owner". I'am VERY proud of this.
I'am not a "softie" I will not sugar coat anything I say. I'am NOT a nice person when it comes to people. A harsh tone from someone will result in a harsher one for me and I'm much MORE adept at it than anyone could imagine.
Nobody here has seen me really tell someone off.
It's not about being a bad or a good person,it's about if you have respect for others or not.
Solve what problems you have with people and not getting so harse with people that just ask for advise.
I'm direct, to the point, and I take the responsibility of having a pet VERY seriously. I will not applaud anyone given less than 110% commitment to their pets and being the best owner possible.
If someone shows me they are making poor decisions in regards to their animals and they refuse to learn I will call them out on it. I will tell them what they are doing wrong.
I do NOT care about my popularity. I do NOT care about being liked nor do I care if everyone calls me every single name in the book.
I'm here because I like animals NOT because I'm a people person.
Now you requested this thread locked.
Consider it done.
I respect others for their opinions.I listen to them,search about what they say and if i think that what they say is right,then i go on.
Behind a screen and without knowing what a person does for his/her pet sure i can also call someone a lousy pet owner that doesn't care for the pet he/she has.
