I have long experiences with cats that need prescription food - the first cat I adopted as an adult needed it from the day I adopted him, until he passed away ~12 years later.
Now one of our 3 cats has an issue and we’re back to the current version of that food again.
Believe me, I feel your pain. But I don’t for a minute think the vet is doing it to make money. They don’t even make any money on it when we order from Chewy.
Of course they make money on it if you buy it there. But I’ve never experienced a vet requiring me to buy something from them.
My point here is that every vet I’ve used doesn’t care if you buy it from them or somewhere else. One of our cats requires medicine every day, and the vet office put us in contact with the pharmacy so we could get it directly from them. They want what’s best for the animals.
