It is always on the claimed "I believe in this food" approach by the vets as they thumb through the Rx diet manual. They can fool most people but I quickly realized that my more detailed questions couldn't be answered. I have gone a year without stones in my dog without an Rx food so it can be done. I also don't need someone rubber stamping how I spend my $ or giving me an ulcer when I spend it. I could go on and on about vet "maintenance" fees and the lack of real justification but I will keep my cynicism to myself! |
I have a serious honest question please don't take it as me being nasty or sarcastic. Callie is on the Hypoallergenic Royal Canin prescription food and the vet said it was a man made protein so is it possible to home cook for a dog with IBD? She eats better now that Sammy lives with us and instead of free feeding I have to do scheduled feeding and the thought of trying to home cooking again still seems awesome but is it possible for a dog with IBD?
