I think they were referring to cats with that line.

If not- I'd be interested to hear some scientific support that dry food isn't good for dogs. Last I talked to my vet he was happy with the commercial dry food my dog was eating- but if that isn't the consenus I'd like to know some more.

In my opinion the raw feeding craze shares a lot of social media attributes with anti-vaxxing.

It isn’t veterinarians spreading this advice. My vet recommended against it.

I would guess that for every person doing raw diets right, there are five screwing it up.

Doesn’t have to all be raw, but just dont feed the garbage they sell as pet food if you care for your pets.

But what is “the garbage they sell as pet food?”

It’s really nonsense un-actionable advice and it doesn’t actually align with what veterinary professionals tell you to do.

You didn’t even recommend which food I should be buying or making. You just told me to put my tinfoil hat on.

I’m doing what my vet told me to do. Why should I listen to people without veterinary degrees?

Cooking for cats is actually quite hard, and very easy to screw up. The kinds of meat humans usually eat don't contain everything your cat needs. Unless what you're cooking for them is actual mice, be very sure you know what you're doing. You have to add taurin and calcium, among others.
