Yep I agree completely. If its a general question about fleas, teeth, vaccines etc., heck yes a vet knows what they are doing and I trust that. But really nutrition has taken a whole new face in our ear. Its very important and every dog is so different. I would want to know my options and what needs a yorkie has in general. I know a lab requires different nutrition than say a great dane. Or if your dog has skin issues again its a different need. Im very close to contacting an allergy specialist. If my vet tells me today Bellas hives are not from a flea bite...Im going to have to go to someone who specializes in it. I dont expect my vet to be the knower of all. Its also good to have a vet that admits when its over their head. I has NO issuse with honesty and wanting whats best for my babies!
