sometimes vets get sponsored or get other sort of attention from pet food companies and their representatives so that the vet will recommend a particular brand of food more than others. kinda like doctors and pharmacutical goods companies. doctors get visits from various drug reps for presentations, dinners, and samples so that the rep can educate the doctor on certain medications and thereby recommend and prescribe drugs to their patients. i think the same goes with vets and pet foods.
my vet recommends royal canin, but i've problems with bunjee scratching a lot while on royal canin puppy food so i'm educating myself about puppy nutrition and trying various other foods to determine what is best for my puppy. i was going to go with chicken soup...but with the problems that the diamond company, the manufacturers of chicken soup, is experiencing, i'm having second thoughts. i'm now debating between innova and natural balance. |
