Rotating protein sources allows for a good balanced diet. A good balanced diet leads to a good healthy immune system which can fight off parasites worms and infections much better than an animal with a challenged immune system that stressed. |

You talk of other vets who don't want to see our dogs completely healthy, and yet you own vet has a vested interested in a "natural diet." There may be lots of good things about a raw diet, but arguing it's the best and only your vet knows the truth, makes me believe you need to do more research. There are pros and cons to any diet you select.
