The complaint asserts that there is no reason for each brand of pet food to require a prescription, as they “contain no drug or other ingredient not also common in non-prescription pet food.”
Well it's about time somebody raised h-ll about that!
The prescription pet food antitrust class action lawsuit asserts that this false advertising is promoted by all of the companies working together. The veterinary clinics write prescriptions for the food, which is manufactured by the pet food companies and sold through PetSmart.
Not just PetSmart. Unless things have changed, you also can buy the "food" from the vet. Of course, it'll still cost you an arm and a leg. Too bad they didn't include the vets in the lawsuit.
