One more thing - please don't mislead.
The fees you quoted are for a SICK dog needing a customized diet from a professional. If your dog does not have medical problems then it is only $25 for the first diet, and $12 for each additional diet if purchased at the same time. I cant think of a much cheaper way to go quite frankly. The vast majority of pet owners who want to safely and scientifically home cook for their pets with a level of assurance that the diet is balanced properly can benefit from this very inexpensive $25 fee.
As for sick pets, I can't think of a better way to spend $250 if there is a sick pet who needs the proper help. My own dog Daisy has had an entire life changing and life saving experience from this veterinary nutritionist and she has saved me a lot of money, heartache and saved my dog from suffering as she was the one with answers when medical help couldn't meet her needs...and believe me, there were many experts and fees paid before this one.
Last I checked, $250 for an expert veterinary opinion was fair game. And most don't discount for a second pet! Obviously, there will always be people who are philosophically opposed to paying for expert opinions and want to do it their own lay person way but for those who don't there are very valid and reliable options out there such as this site. I recommend
