New information about raw pet foods unveiled at AVMA convention

Atlanta — The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is offering a program to help explain the hottest topic in pet nutrition, Raw Diets, at the 147th Annual AVMA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 31.

Dr. Sherry L. Sanderson, a veterinarian expert in pet nutrition, will explain the popularity of these new diets and respond to the claims made by those who support raw diets.

“Raw diets evoke a lot of passion and emotion from pet owners who feel they are doing what is best for their pets,” Dr. Sanderson said. “Unfortunately, the internet is filled with misinformation about the benefits of raw diets and even more misinformation about problems with commercial pet foods. The purpose of the lecture Raw Diets is to show some of the information clients see on the internet and then discuss how accurate this information is.”

Dr. Sanderson said that she’s hoping to help veterinarians offer their clients good information when confronted with questions about raw food for pets.

For more information about raw food or about the AVMA annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia, contact the AVMA or visit the AVMA website at  www.avmaconvention.org.
