Title: Dr Lisa Pierson Live! (almost)
Post by: Middle Child on December 14, 2014, 07:43:45 AM
Dr Karen Becker held a Skype interview with Dr Lisa Pierson founder of catinfo.org.

Sums up everything pretty nicely and it's kind of fun hearing Dr Pierson's voice say words I know so well from reading them and saying them myself so many times. :) (or you can read the transcript if you prefer)

Dr. Pierson eventually gravitated away from equine medicine into feline medicine.
...horses don’t get sick all that often, probably because most are fed an herbivore-appropriate, high-fiber diet of hay and forage. In her equine practice, Dr. Pierson didn’t see a lot of kidney or urinary tract disease, or diabetes.

Prescription Diets:

I don’t sell the stuff and never have, but I’m in the minority.
She can always find "healthier, more species-appropriate choices for her patients."

Dr. Pierson says she’d be quite wealthy if she had a dime for every time someone told her that their cat would never eat anything but kibble.
