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. |
I don't think anyone here said anything about vets being incompetent. I appreciate my vet very much, and am very glad that she is available to take care of my furbabies when they need it. People are just questioning one aspect of their practice. Also, it definitely doesn't apply to ALL vets, just those who push SD a bit too much. Like I said in my post, my vet didn't push SD, even though her office is full of that stuff.
You mentioned that vets have to analyze the content of various foods during their training. Did they analyze SD and found it to be supperior to all other brands, which is why they sell it? Would actually be interesting to see an independant lab perform tests on various animal foods for things like bioavailability of nutrients as well as the basic nutrient percentages.
