I agree that this is not a discussion about which way of feeding is best; I don't think anyone is trying to say this .
As for nutrition knowledge of vets...unfortunately, they only receive about 1.5 hours of didactic teaching about nutrition in Vet school...that's very disappointing (and, so much of what they learn about nutrition is sponsored by Hill's). Good vets should be comfortable in knowing their own limitations about nutrition. I would trust their knowledge about nutrition more if their knowledge about it was more broad, of better quality, and covered methods other than just kibble.
Your dogs do wonderfully on kibble, and that's awesome. Bc also, if you fed pre-made or Prey - you'd put YHR out of business . |
Actually, my vet did send me to a vet nutrionist when needed. She is very comfortable referring out as needed and I don't understand why anyone would go to a vet who was not. That is easily figured out if you are tuned in to a vet.
