Of course they recommend that. That bag they sell for $80 - $90 costs the Vet about $45, so why wouldn't the vet recommend it. Ingredient-wise they are the cheapest foods in terms of ingredient cost. Royal Canin as a whole uses the lowest-cost ingredients but charges obscene prices.
If the dog doesn't have a specific high-risk problem, I would try Pro Plan SSS, Annamaet Option or Farmina N&D Wild Cod.
The Vet is just wanting you to drink the Kool-Aid.
