ZiwiPeak is air dried raw food. It's not a "dry" food in the same way that kibble is. Think of it in the same category as a freeze dried chicken treat except that it's a nutritionally complete food.
Since this is a new vet, I would see how the conversation goes. This is a post on
interviewing/screening a new vet. For me, the most important piece of data is my gut. Is this someone who is knowledgeable, confident in his/her skill but not arrogant, recognizes that you know your cat and are a valuable resource when it comes to observing your cat's health, and that you have a brain in your head. I won't tolerate any medical or veterinary profession who is of the "my way or the highway" school unless they are giving me information that would prevent me from harming myself (e.g., don't bend over immediately after hip replacement surgery or you could pop your new hip out of place). When I moved to Columbus, I interviewed a new vet. I really liked her. We spent a good amount of time talking about Gabby's care. I asked if she was familiar with TR and if she would have difficulty with my managing Gabby's dosing. The first time she actually saw Gabby, I showed her Gabby's SS. She them said I really didn't need her help with dose management. How and when you bring up the issue of dosing depends on the vet and your instincts. What I would also point out is that even an IM vet may not be an expert in FD. Internal Medicine covers a lot of ground.
