How Can Veterinarians Keep Feeding Their Own Cats the Wrong Food?

#915B: Dr. Rick LeCouteur — a veterinary neurologist and surgeon — agrees with Tracie’s long-standing credo that dry foods for cats are “kitty crack” because the ingredients are biologically inappropriate for an obligate carnivore.

(Rick is also the author of the beautiful children’s book “Nasty Names Are Hurtful” about the Australian white Ibis.)
