My Dog's Mystery Illness and the Veterinary Industry's War on Raw Feeding

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when your raw-fed dog has a medical emergency and you're caught in the corporate veterinary system? Prepare for sticker shock, judgment, and a battle to make the right choices for your pet.DeDe Murcer Moffett, CEO of Raw Dog Food and Company, shares the anxiety-inducing saga of her dog's sudden illness that led to a  recommendation for $16,000 exploratory surgery. The moment staff spotted DeDe raw dog food company truck in the parking lot, the attitude shifted dramatically – she became labeled as "one of those raw feeders," facing condescension and refusal to consider perspectives beyond their standard protocols.The clinic's walls were plastered with signs threatening to terminate care for anyone who questioned their medical decisions, creating an environment where pet parents feel powerless during their most vulnerable moments. DeDe transferred her pet to her daughter's veterinary clinic, where a more pragmatic approach allowed the dog to recover completely without surgery.Dr. Judy Jasek provides invaluable context throughout, explaining how corporate veterinary medicine has moved away from the "Volkswagen, Chrysler, or Cadillac" approach to care options, instead pushing maximum intervention regardless of necessity. She shares hope for the future through her work with veterinary students interested in holistic approaches, suggesting mentorship may eventually transform the profession.Don't wait until an emergency to build relationships with veterinarians who respect your feeding choices. Find allies who understand that sometimes the most effective treatment is giving the body time to heal naturally rather than rushing into aggressive interventions. Your pet's health – and your wallet – may depend on it.Support the showRaw Dog Food and Company  Your Pet's Health is Our BusinessFree 20 Minute Pet Health ConsultDecrease Itching and allergies with this supplement Pure Raw Blends for Healthy Digestion HealthyTreats Pets LoveFollow Us:  Youtube Instagram Facebook Friends Don't Let Friends Feed Kibble
