Again it depends on the vet, some vets have a great deal of knowledge in nutrition. I agree, it's better to see a specialist if you have a specific problem, but I think many vets are able to give sound nutrition advice. At least in which foods are safe for you dog. They really think about "safety first, and doing no harm." Remembering sound nutrition advice isn't always going to be the latest trend. Scientists believe that its better for the knowledge base to be slowly changing, rather than change it back and forth every time a new study is done. That's why science changes slowly, while public opinion on scientific things changes frequently.
The OP said that she took the boutique workers word over her vets word.
