Firstly, we are ALWAYS impressed with any vet who continues-especially this old school vet- medical education, no matter for humans or animals. Secondly, we were also exasperated at his quick dismissal of any foods NOT science diet. We feel they ARE educated, but the course they take determines what information they'll push.

Vets and certified vet techs are required to have a certain amount of continuing education every certain amount of years. I think saying they push certain foods just because of what they are taught to a certain extend is correct because they learn the why and how those foods are good for dogs and they know there is science behind it and stuff that can be proven.You got lucky with your labs because feeding an unbalanced meal like that can cause bone loss and other serious issues. It says a lot to me that therapy dogs are not allowed to be fed raw food. I just don't think it is safe but I think homecooking is awesome and a much better and safer alternative for those against kibble.
