General vets are just that...general vets. They don't profess to be specialists in nutrition. That does not mean they have zero knowledge about nutrition. For specialized nutrition advice, I use veterinary nutritionists who DO have advanced knowledge and do have degrees in animal nutrition.
As to the DFA, I will take my vet's advice on nutrition any day over his. If a case is complicated, she is the first one to send me to a specialist. DFA is not for me either. His qualifications, in my opinion, are less than a general vet. Just my opinion. |
