This is clearly a vet who is more concerned about money than dogs and I could not trust his opinion on anything. |
What
carleirulesme had to say was great, too. It took using three different vet practices before I landed with a WONDERFUL TERIFFIC GREAT practice of five vets all of whom I trust and adore!!!! The office staff are CARING, and PATIENT -- I just love them all!!! Not only do I trust my vet's advice and opinion, my vet TRUST ME as well. I think that is the greatest thing about the vets, is that they listen to me and we work together.
Although this vet practice does SELL Science Diet foods, along with the Hills Prescription Diet foods it does not mean that they are bad vets, what it means is that they are NOT nutritionists -- not only that the makers of Science diet spend so much money on incentives and marketing, they make it very lucrative for vet practices to sell the stuff. Since I know that Science Diet is not a good food, I have done my homework and found what I believe is the best food for me to feed my crew -- the vet has made a note of my food choice in the furkid's chart and we are all happy campers.
