Re: Bella's Visit with a New Vet

Vets get a % of the food cost and it is what they feed cats while they are in school to become Vets. It is total garbage my Vets thank god don't suggest it.They said when their in Veterinary School it is what all cats are fed. It's free.... There are other reasons of why when I remember I will let you all know.
