you know what, your gonna believe whatever you want to believe because some people think they know better then a highly educated person that specializes in animal health and medicine. I'm tired of arguing this point. Science Diet and Prescription diet are very good foods. Analysis' have been done and the food has been broken down and compared with many many other foods INCLUDING all the high quality food we feed out yorkies. SD came out with the top contenders. At work today i asked my coworkers (consisting of 5 vets and 4 certified techs) and they all said that when in school they did take more then one class in nutrition AND dog food analysis was done by themselves. They had to go to the stores and buy food that range from crappy to Excellent and break them down physically and chemically to study the make up of the food. SO these foods are tested by vets and tech's and ingredients and %ages are studied and gone over.
FOR THE LAST TIME: The vet's do not get anything back from selling these foods. different vets sell different foods. Not all of them sell science diet. some sell eukanuba.
Not all dog owners are like the people here on YT. they don't go around a research every little detail of the dogs food and pick at it. All they know is that they have had dogs for a long time and feeding science diet and purina and iams and whatever else has let their dogs live long and healthy lives.
SO if a vet's office were to sell wellness/merricks/innova/whatever, it probaly wouldn't sell very well because most of the population has no idea about it. And the not selling very well statement doesn't insinuate that not selling well means low profits for the vet, it means that it would sit in shop longer and eventually go bad because no one would buy it.
another thing, its really funny that vet's are always looked down upon for their food knowledge, but the minute your yorkie burps/hick-ups/vomits/trips/sneezes/coughs its off to the vet with him to have him checked out...
i'm done arguing about food, vets, and science diet. some people just aren't going to listen and are just going to keep on believe what they want.
