Board certified veterinary nutritionists usually don't sell dog food. That, however, doesn't mean they don't agree that Science Diet is a good food (because it is).

It greatly concerns me that owners are out on their own trying to come up with adequate diets for their pups. I used to do this. Completely regret it. So I hired a veterinary nutritionist who took care of the important details for me. I was then able to feed the ingredients I wanted, but with the vitamins, minerals, and portions she thought best (because she went to school for this for 10+ years and I did not).

There are many people that call themselves animal nutritionists. The problem with that is..where were they trained? Who is backing them? How do you know what they are doing is safe and correct? I could probably just put a website up right now and call myself an animal nutritionist. That doesn't mean I have any clue what I'm doing...
