Experience in the area
I have done research on the relationship between feline diet and feline diabetes due to my personal experience in dealing with one of my own cats. I am a pet lover and always have numerous cats and dogs. I believe in feeding a high quality and by-product free diet. Diet alone cured my diabetic cat as well as either cured or significantly helped many others.

Education/Credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences and years of experience working as a Veterinary Technician

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I think that the general public should be informed as to the dangers of most commercial pet foods. The industry standards for pet food are seriously lacking, compared to those for the human food industry. You can't imagine the toxins and waste products that are added to pet foods.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
If you change to a human-grade organic food such as Wellness, Nature's Variety, or Innova, to name a few, I guarantee that you will see a difference is your pets health. http://www.omhpet.com/wellness/cat_index.html

Something controversial or provocative about this subject
The so called big name premium pet foods such as Iams, Eukanuba, and Science Diet are anything but premium. They contain potentially harmful ingredients and waste products. They are highly recommended by many veterinarians because the profit margin on them is huge. Most people never think to question the brands that they constantly see advertised and marketed to them.
