I would have to disagree on the idea that cats shouldn't eat kibble based very simply on dental health. If cats live on wet food only, and do not eat anything that they have to crunch up and break down with their teeth.. thats a straight line for dental disease and expensive bills for teeth cleaning. Dental disease left alone can effect all the major organs and organ systems, leading to a very sick cat.
My veterinary hospital sells pet foods.. but ONLY the prescription kind. The foods our clients purchase at the hospital are prescription diets meant to deal with specific treatments and cannot be bought by anyone who just walks in off the street looking for any available pet foods.
The BARF diet is indeed showing signs of being a great diet for pets, but for most average people this isn't within their means.. either financially or time wise. When I asked my vets about the BARF diet, they all very clearly stated that if you're feeding a high quality diet and read labels and do research, there is no real need to get into the BARF diet.
Just my two cents!
But.. Halanna! How is your research coming along? Have you looked into any puppy classes?
