Science Diet is way overrated. Ellie used to eat that food and I wouldn't recommend it. Science Diet Nature's Best is better, but because there is pork fat in it, I probably wouldn't feed it. I do think that some (not all) of their prescription canned foods (not kibbles because they contain ethoxyquin) are fine. What if there is a health problem and the owner doesn't wnat to homecook? I'm not talking about allergies or anything like that because there are so many foods that would work. I mean kidney and liver problems. None of the foods designed for that would be considered great foods ingredient-wise, but it would be far better to give the SD instead of feeding a "normal" diet to those animals. So...I have mixed feelings.
