I am sure the vet would say both can have it because SD is "The Best Food" to most vets. I just wouldn't do it.

I am not sure if you are referring to my post or not.
But my vet would NEVER have me give Pork Fat to my Yorkies,
I did not say Science Diet, so perhaps it was not my post you were referring to ...

here is the break down of ingredients in the Low-Residue Puppy Food I give my babies ...

I am NOT recommending this for your dogs, I am only saying that this is what I am using
and it was recommended by my vet, whom I trust.

I would never tell someone to use what I do.

I might simply make a suggestion. Just trying to help.
