She said Purina, Royal Canine, and Science Diet have had the most studies done and she believed and backed them more then Blue Buffalo because she said it doesn't have all the studies those other foods have.
She also said I am glad to hear you are not feeding raw... I AM not against raw feeding and think some dogs have done excellent on it...
I was neutral about the her belief and I know she did take Taycie's care with her stomach/diaherra in her best intrest I just had a really hard time believing that something like Science Diet is better the Holistic feeding? I just know I would rather feed fresh ingredients instead of by products corn, wheat, chemical preservitatives soy etc... I just felt like something wrong was with this picture...
She also said if you would like recomendations on natural dogs foods I would be happy to give them. I wondered at that point what her recommendations would be. I am not sure I agree with this I feel I take Taycie's nutrition seriously it just bothered me some... |
All vets push the food they carry. If I remember correctly, they also get a commission off of what they sell. Also, I haven't seen a vet yet, in all of my life, that was a nutritionist!
