I totally agree with this!! Brooke has 3 vets! One is her general practitioner(who by the way is fairly holisitic anyway), then she has a neurologist for her brain disease and then she has a Holistic/Acupuncturist Vet. I keep all of them in the loop when it comes to Brooke's health but I put more weight on each of their opinions when I ask them something that is specifically in their realm of expertise. For example, Brooke was having some digestive issues and her neurologist wanted her to be on a diet that has 50% Hill's w/d but that food doesn't have very good ingredients, so I talked to her Holistic vet and she said to continue with homecooking and just change the brown rice to sweet potato, so she will have more fiber!! I do homecook and add vitamin supplements. They loved raw but Brooke is immune compromised and I don't want to chance her getting a bacteria. Get all the opinions from experts and then choose what you think works for you and your babies!
