How does the RSPCA respond to claims of hypocrisy that it is meant to be preventing cruelty to animals (the clue is very much in their name!) yet promotes conventional meat diets for companion animals?
Alongside other organisations like Cats Protection and the British Veterinary Association we would not recommend a vegan diet for cats. However we are aware that research and evidence in this space is growing and keep it under review. We do ask people to consider higher welfare brands of pet food like McAdams which uses RSPCA Assured ingredients.
