There are vets out there that don't constantly push SD or Iams though... |
I agree with this post. I have a dog on a hill's prescription diet and it has done wonders for him. Although its not the BEST food out there, it is clearly doing what it needs for him. My vet is not a huge fan of grain free diets, but she didnt try to persuade me to use something else, she did say that the "food is to new" to the market. Anyways, I hope your mom's dog does better and please when you do switch do is slowly and over time so its tummy has time to adjust so there wont be any more issues.
