| My vet didn't know anything about Innova. I guess that was because they only sold Royal Canin *shrugs*. Wouldn't be to worried about it though seems as most Vet's just know the basics in dog nutrition but aren't necessarily specialists. |

| Vets get kickbacks for pushing science diet and the crappy stuff. So I wouldn't be too surprised, ESPECIALLY if he's cute

| I have to be careful about what Prince eats or he throws up all day. Our first vet only wanted to talk about Science Diet. He wouldn't even discuss any other food when I asked about them even though Prince was still throwing up. Then he got involved in a home business. I can't remember the name but it is related to Amway. All of a sudden he's telling me to go to his website and order their food. He couldn't tell me anything about their food other than he was sure it was good. (And he wasn't even cute ) Needless to say we changed vets. The new vet said Science Diet was good but never mentioned it again after I rolled my eyes |

| Whats important is that your vet knows how to maintain the wellness of your doggie and to handle the not-so-wellness, lol... The rest is For sure, verts get kick-backs from Science Diet for pushing their food. Good or Not but not the best.
