Vets don't always know what's best in terms of nutrition, it's not what they're trained to know. My vet recently told me that the reason Harley got sick was because he was getting too much protein because grain free foods have more protein. I checked the bag of Now! when I got home and it was only 24% protein. it was lower than the crap he suggested.
my theory is some vets are sponsored to sell these foods that aren't the best. If a vet doesn't suggest this diet they risk losing sponsorship and other perks offered by these massive companies.
I never trust my vet 100% on nutritional things, I always do my own research before making a decision.
