Personally I think every dog is diffrent and what works for one may not work for another even if it is a "better" food. As long as we're not feeding Ol'Roy its all good  |
So what do they do to prove they have recommended it? I have never had anyone ask me who advised me to purchase a dog food.
Now, if you are referring to prescription foods, most vets carry all RX foods...or have access to them....and of course there is a profit however small or large it may be. That would be expected. Bottom line: prescription foods are a must in a good veterinary clinic. What would you expect them to do? They are selling those foods in order to maintain the health and well being of the animals they care for. I am frightened to see the numbers of people who don't buy RX foods because they are afraid the vet might make a profit.
Those RX foods have saved quite a few of my pups over the years.
