Then there are vets with an interest in this area who have decided to study further... Hopefully your vet is one of them...
I agree! Your vet isn't the one you should speak to about this issue. My vet recommended Science Diet. That's what they carry there. After doing much research I learned myself that Science Diet wasn't a good choice.

Have you thought about feeding raw? I just started mine on Nature's Valley raw medallions and they love it.
