I'm not sure what a holistic veterinarian nutritionist is, but I'm satisfied with their answers about meeting AAFCO standards for nutrition, as well has having some of their recipes put through AAFCO feeding trials. Their foods are manufactured in the US in their own facilities, which is also a plus. If I were feeding Primal to Bella, I'd probably follow up with two more questions: (1) What is a holistic veterinarian nutritionist? and (2) Which recipes were tested using AAFCO feeding trials? but I'll leave that as an exercise to the people who feed Primal or who are considering feeding Primal. Considering that Primal is a smaller, specialized company, none of these answers are deal-breakers for me.
