Vets are not dog nutritionists. Iams/Science Diet spends tons of $$ with vets encouraging them to recommend their food. One of the best things a dog owner can do for their dog is to become a label reader and to research the foods they are feeding.
I would feed a growing pup ALL he/she will eat. The pup is the judge of how many calories he/she needs on a particular day -- and it will vary according to activity and growth patterns. |
