A recent article in the trade journal Pet Product Marketing poses the question “Why can’t retailers sell “prescription” diets?” but raises more questions than it answers. The article points out, a product intended for the treatment or prevention of disease of animals has to be licensed as a medicine and veterinary/prescription foods are not so licensed. Why should it be necessary, as the food manufacturers claim, to have veterinary medical supervision when the product is not a medicine?

There are simple options for pet owners. Many Natural products can replace most of the veterinary/prescription foods but at a fraction of the cost. It is logical sence and many pet owners are consistently reporting significant health benefits when changing to a Natural product from prescribed veterinary diet here in Spain.
