Hello everyone,
I have noticed that there are a lot of “toxic kibble alerts” being shared on Facebook groups and pages, sometimes with very alarming messages about certain brands or recipes. These posts are often widely shared and commented on, which can create a strong feeling of fear and confusion among pet owners.
I would like to understand why so many people rely on and share these alerts instead of using more neutral or professional sources of information, such as veterinary nutritionists or official analyses. Do you think these Facebook alerts are helpful to raise awareness, or do they mainly spread anxiety and sometimes misinformation about pet food?
Thank you in advance for your opinions and experiences.
