Dogs are carnivores. They need meat to survive, thrive and to have proper nutrition for their basic bodily functions.
Seriously - I am scared for you if you place your dog's health in this vet's care. If he/she made that statement above - I would never let them see my dog again - that statement is ludicrous and dangerous.
I'm really glad you're here at YT - so you can learn about nutrition and ingredients yourself. The more you're here, you'll see what I mean.  |
YES! I am very serious! He did say that to us when we took Peanut for the very first time in 48 hrs after we picked him up from the breeder.
Now I don't really understand why he would want us to feed him food that contains more vegetables than meat - because of his respiratory infection from the plane ride (the breeder said it's very common for Yorkies to develop this health problem) or just because he's a Yorkie. My puppy is seen by the military vet on base. I hope he is not that of a
vet.
I am very happy to be here - it's a wonderful support website for Yorkies and all information here is very valuable to me. I started to understand my puppy a lot better since I joined.
