I have had pups on SD and Purina RX diets for years and it DID save their lives! Clearly SD is doing something right. |
Not denying this at all. I am sure it has helped tons of dogs who needed it. I am saying I don't see a particular reason to feed it to a healthy dog who could otherwise thrive on something that is, in my opinion, better. *shrugs* My opinion. Nope, I'm not a vet. You don't have to be a doctor to have an opinion on everything health-related in life. I don't always agree with human doctors, either. That's not to say I don't look to them for their expertise and advice, either. If my dog needed to be on SD, I'd feed it. If he doesn't have to be, I'm not going to feed it. Simple as that.
There's also plenty of vets who also don't feed or recommend SD, so it's all a matter of opinion, really. And each personal dog.
