 Before spending hundreds of dollars on this, please do your homework.
Why would anyone want to spend $250.00 for a Vet. to send "your" vet. a dog diet? Then an additional $100.00 for a second dog. Please read VERY carefully........the Vet. is NOT an expert on dog nutrition! They only go by what is currently found to be ok for the dog. Read "exactly" what kind of checking they do first. Is this enought to make it worth the VERY high price: "This fee covers product research, review of medical information and a diet formulation. It also covers all questions you may have about our diet recommendations".
Save your money and put it into food for your family and pet. Go on line and check out recipes for dogs. Buy the book by Dr. Pitcairn's COMPLETE GUIDE TO NATURAL HEALTH FOR DOGS @ CATS.
