Same from me.
My vet's office does the Hill's Science Diet as well. I would maybe feel differently about feeding something like Science Diet if Toki was dealing with some health issue that required a special prescription diet...I know these companies do a lot of research in formulating these recipes and that they work very well for particular health problems. But I would still rather do home-cooking or just be given a set of guidelines (protein content/fat content/specific mineral amounts etc) so that I could pick a dog food that I preferred. For long-term feeding though, I would look for a food based largely on the factors that MyOscar stated.
