Yeah, this. I mean, just looking at https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/products/feral-flower-formula.html for example, wtf is 'full color spectrum' as an ingredient? Cats can't see the full color spectrum wtf even is going on?

I am grateful that he's made huge strides in the area of the public's cat awareness, but since I saw the homeopathy stuff on his website, I'm just not comfortable recommending any of his resources to clients (I'm a vet tech who works at a cat-only practice). I've seen how easy it is for well-meaning cat owners to get completely sucked into the world of homeopathy to the point of refusing to listen to their vets, and I've seen how the cats suffer needlessly as a result. It's sad because he does have good information out there but I just...I can't.

Kind of late, but as a vet tech, do you have the freedom to recommend anything you personally feel is good? I've heard that vet clinics often get "sponsored" by certain products and encouraged to sell them, like Science Diet stuff. I never quite know if I should trust my vet's recommendations (in terms of actual products) or do my own research.

I've worked at a clinic where the vets did not want me discussing or recommending anything to the clients, but that's more because they were shitty bosses who enjoyed the power trip over the unfortunately less-educated clientele, than being sponsored by a particular company. Most other clinics I've been at view making recommendations to clients as basic vet tech duties. As long as I'm not recommending stuff that goes against the clinic's stances on things, and as long as I'm not interfering with specific health requirements of a particular animal, I can pretty much go nuts with whatever I suggest.

It certainly never hurts to do your own research, and to ask your vet for options. If they won't give them to you, or if they won't give you a reason why, that's definitely a big warning sign!

(And yes unfortunately there are vets and clinics that get 'sponsored' by certain companies and yes, Hills/Science Diet is a big offender. They have useful diets but man their marketing team is aggressive.)
