Because vets don't really know all that much about animal nutrition. They get money from the products they sell in their office because representatives from the food companies visit them and set up a deal for them to sell their food, to push their food on unsuspecting customers. Science Diet is not great because it doesn't have real meat as the first ingredient, and it has corn in it which is a very common allergy for dogs and cats. I'd look into higher quality foods, just search and view the various threads about food in this section (Yorkie Health & Diet) and look at the stickies, there is one that has a list of companies that sell high quality food for dogs. You can contact them and get free samples.
Good luck!
