Again I'm very lucky in that regard. My dad and sister are both veterinarians and my family owns several vet clinics. I've never had to pay for a vet or any vet related services. Food I currently get for free also (written off as a clinic expense, this is likely to change when I graduate University). If I do ever get anything it's always at cost anyways. When it comes to pure breeds there's usually someone my family knows that'll give us a great deal for reducing their bills on the rest of the litter (we've done that in the past and got free dogs.. It is a good deal for the breeder and costs us nothing really except my dads time). Again, I'm just lucky though.

I assume you're trying to start another raw food debate in here which I won't get into (and I'm sure others don't want that again as this is not the appropriate thread for that subject and it's already been beat to death in the last thread...). But to elaborate my answer more clearly than my last post already stated, I'm feeding recommended food from my family that would likely be considered 'vet food' since it does comes from a vet clinic. If I got it from somewhere else it wouldn't be 'free' for me unless my family could order it. This food has never given me or my family problems before so I use it with confidence and I consider it 'good food' as you said, even if others may disagree with me. So let's leave it at I won't push my views on others if they don't on me.
