I would not fire my vet based on recommending a food brand I don't agree with unless it was a life threatening choice. I can research and feed my dog what "I" feel is best. In certain cases a pet nutritionist would be a better choice than a vet to determine your dog's needs.

But, I depend on the vet to diagnose and treat disease, treat injuries, and deal with emergencies. If a vet does these things well, I'd cut him a little slack in the area of pet food (which is controversial anyway).
I agree. We have never discussed food with our vet, other than quantity/calories when Max gained a little chunk.
