Today the Daily Mail have on offer health check for your cats.They have teamed up with animal health company Intervet and cat nutrition specialist Royal Canin.Every reader can claim a free Br vaccination for their cat and at the same time six £5 discount vouchers for 3Kg or larger bags of cat food from Royal Canin popular range. 19703

I too read this and am very much against it since Royal Canin is terrible food and Royal Canin must just be doing this to get even more cats hooked on their terrible food that will end up giving the cats diabetes and struvite crystals and cystitis etc. I will write to the Editor giving him a copy of the Dogs Today article that shows that Intervet had no figures or anything to back up their assertion that dogs must be vaccinated against Leptospirosis and so were just scaring dog owners into believing it was vital to vaccinate against it. Vets should not be condoning terrible food like Royal Canin and there is nothing to prove that annual vaccination is necessary and so I will make the Editor aware of this. I would very much like to know what the Vets are gettng out of supporting this Daily Mail campaign to get cats vaccinated free of charge courtesy of Intervet and to get cats hooked on Royal Canin pet food when they should know that feeding this food could cause the cat serious illness eventually. They know that once you get a cat hooked on dry food it is just about impossible for the owner to ever get it off and so giving it cheap is just a marketing ploy to ensure the owner has to keep buying it. When will Vets stand up for our cats and dogs and say that annual vaccination is unnecessary and that feeding pet food is causing most of the illness that is keeping most of the Vets in the country in business. They depend on money from annual vaccination and money from the illness that feeding pet food causes and so I wonder how many thousands of cats will end up with diabetes because Vets taking part in this initiative with Royal Canin will have been instrumental on getting the cats started off on dry food. How many will get struvite which can kill a cat within 24 hours because it is being fed carbohydrate which stimulates struvite. Shame on the Vets taking part in this initiatiive and they should disclose what they are getting from Royal Canin and Intervet to take part in it. 19723

Sheena, never before have I met an individual capable of such mind numbing repetition as you. Any reader of this forum be they new or a regular reader/contributor is completely aware within reading any of the threads, whether they like it or not, of your campaign against pet food. There is no further need to repeat the same information over and over again, it is an insult to our and your intelligence. We have all read it countless times. If you have anything new to add to the debate then Im sure we will all be happy to read it, but please, please stop repeating the same information ! 19725

reply # 2 Did you realise you can scroll down and not read any posts which you don't want to ? If your mouse has one of those wheel things it's even easier just using that - would save you getting so bored maybe. I agree with Sheena, but don't always read her posts now if they are repeating, but, new people don't always go back over old threads, so they need to have it brought to their attention also, and, if she didn't feel this strongly about it, she wouldn't stand a chance of getting anywhere with it. Just read the first couple of lines and then scroll down if it looks like you're not going to hear anything new. Now, did you have anything useful and on-topic to share with us ? 19742

Now, did you have anything useful and on-topic to share with us a request for brevity and lack of repetition. Seemed reasonable enough to me 19750

Anyone ever taken their pet to a 'vet' and been told there's nothing wrong with it?. Vets run a business, to make money. Don't go to a vet, if your animal is not obviously sick. Make sure you go onto the internet before, so at least you can point the vet in the right direction. 19758

Anon, I have examined animals before and given a clean bill of health with the advice that no treatment is needed at the moment. Regular health checks are a good idea, to pick illnesses or diseases. If picked up early and treatment initiated the outcome is far better for many conditions. Oh yes, and do go and search the internet first of course. All that uncensored information that anyone can post has to be far more reliabe and accurate than a vet that has studied for 5 years and carried out a clinical examination of the patient. 19760

Anon, how can you say this "Vets run a business, to make money". Such a short-sighted way of looking at things. Imagine this: If there were no vets, what would happen then? Who would treat our animals? Vets first and foremost treat sick and injured animals. Let us not forget this fact. No vet becomes a vet to run a business. 19775

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #8 by Sheena IP Address 195.93.18.37	Posted: October 29, 2006 at 17:02

If you read Vet, Josh Artmier's book Pet Hates, the Shocking Truth about Pets and Vets Unicorn I think you may come to the conclusion that Vets don't even like pets or pet owners and that they are indeed just doing it for the money. Searching the Internet is not such a bad thing because loads of Vets on the internet are saying that pet food and vacccine are causing illness. 19786

That's just one disillusioned vet's opinion, not fact. Learn to differentiate. 19787

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #10 by unicorn IP Address 84.13.42.231	Posted: October 29, 2006 at 18:29

I think we need to ask ourselves the question "Why are some vets disillusioned? 19796

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #11 by you cant be serious IP Address 81.129.185.59	Posted: October 29, 2006 at 19:03

that is a good question, the answer to which has been touched upon on a number of threads. It is a complex issue and one that no doubt we all wrestle with at some point in our careers. 19797

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #12 by Anon IP Address 86.133.5.135	Posted: November 1, 2006 at 16:13

Can I just refer some vets to the RCVS Lyndon Basha case ongoing at a RCVS Disciplinary.....or is your Tardac grossly enlarged as well?. I'm afraid vets do run businesses, some very very profitable, eg. the one which Basha and his accountant brother runs. Is one of the many charges against Basha for unnecessary treatments?. 20098

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #13 by . IP Address 81.149.159.160	Posted: November 1, 2006 at 17:25

How many times does it have to be typed 'tardac' is a drug not a part of anatomy!!! 20106

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #14 by Donna IP Address 81.178.207.212	Posted: November 1, 2006 at 21:48

LOL - same as disease is only one word, not DIS-EASE! 20110

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #15 by Linda IP Address 217.43.168.230	Posted: November 2, 2006 at 23:04

Donna .... Actually MANY people might disagree with you there....eg the body is at dis-ease ? look deeper.....lol 20145

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #16 by unicorn IP Address 89.240.129.142	Posted: November 2, 2006 at 23:20

I agree with Linda, disease comes about because the body/mind/soul is not at ease, hence dis-ease. 20146

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #17 by Anon IP Address 86.133.5.135	Posted: November 5, 2006 at 16:23

If Tardac is drug and not part of a dogs anatomy, then why did MRCVS and BSc Lyndon Basha say that one clients dog had a grossly enlarged Tardac?.This was seen and heard on a BBC programme 'Watchdog' and formed part of the disciplinary case against Mr Basha for un-necessary veterinary treatment. Perhaps some vets don't know that Dogs don't have Tardac's. Or perhaps most vets through in meaningless words and terms when consulting. Nothing wrong with that is there?. 20380

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #18 by tilly IP Address 81.129.246.132	Posted: February 6, 2008 at 23:48

Tardac is a drug........ google it it's not hard!!! Oh an while we are at it,lets not feed or vaccinate or treat our pets while we are at it,that way i'm sure the rspca will be round shortly!! As for vets running a business,yes i will agree they are but as for them not liking animals,well that is a bit strong...jeez They are hardly gonna give free treatment are they,how would they live,it is a job and a vocation for them but THEY CANT LIVE ON FRESH AIR!!! unlike our dogs/cats can.......(that was a joke,just continuing the thread with some of the rubbish in here who insist our pets need basically nothing to live on to have a happy "HEALTHY LIFE") can i also say that you would not go shopping for groceries and not pay,or go to the dentist and not pay or any other thing we as humans pay for .....so why expect it from a vet?? We have the NHS thats whats wrong,although I would rather go and be treated by a vet now than any hospital as they are filthy.!!!!!!! 30437

Re: Health check for your cat Reply #19 by tilly IP Address 81.129.246.132	Posted: February 6, 2008 at 23:53

Can I also add that my local practice has at least 12,000 clients and only 70 are diabetics....... not bad ratio i think,so that pretty much knocks the food thing on the head being responsible for diabetes. There are far many causes,overweight pets,un neutered etc that are more of a cause. 30438
