I think if you can't print something out and show it to your vet, then you are restricted in being an advocate for your dog. So yes, if you believe strongly that NB is better than what your vet is recommending in this case, then at least bring it up. I'm not sure he'd want to see a list of ingredients, but you could memorize the protein, fat, and fiber % or whatever to have something to talk about with him.
Natural/holistic/superpremium/human grade - all one in the same. Marketing terms on the newer foods. I wouldn't say things like SD are any less natural, but some use the term just to group all of the newer foods together instead of saying superpremium (because not everybody believes the companies that are taking off now are really premium).
It is very possible that this vet has seen some issues with "natural" foods and prefers to avoid them. You might ask how his other pancreatitis patients are doing on the more mainstream foods (SD, Iams).
