Again, I do not feed my pups based upon the opinions of lay people. I look to the experts in nutrition. I read what people say...and if I think they might be correct in what they are saying, I go to the experts for their opinions on it.
As to allergies, I believe that if my pup were so allergic to so many things, I would be at a vet dermatologist and also a vet nutritionist.
I see so many blanket statements about Hill's Science Diet and no real data to back those statements up. To compare Hill's Science Diet to junk food and/or McDonalds is just not accurate imho unless someone has done some really in depth reseach. As to comments about whether or not dogs are healthy, I base my opinions on many years of pet ownership and fostering. If they are not constantly having bloody stools, vomiting and other GI related issues, and have normal laboratory studies each year, I would say they are healthy.
I have yet to see a comment voiced by anyone on this board that would make me question the value and/or quality of Hill's Science diets. It just does not make sense to me that so many people feed their pups based upon the opinions of lay people. They do the same with medical issues...and I just cannot comprehend that. |
