Yeah I can most definitely relate to this! I work at a vet and the doctor work mostly with and I are always arguing about food!
I don't feed raw, but I feed Natural Balance. We sell Science Diet, but only prescription. He doesn't like the regular Sci Diet, but he thinks the prescriptions are fine. I have to say I have seen some animals do really well on prescription Sci Diet (like for kidney failure and what not)....but it's really not great food. He even admits that at vet school they don't do much on nutrition. In fact he told me once that the one in depth class was funded by Science Diet!!!
His boxer is on Sci Diet Z/D which is the allergy formula and despite it working for her allergies it's not that great in content. It's also 86 dollars a bag!!!! He doesn't pay full price, but he pays around 70 for it!! He's actually thinking of switching to the Natural Balance allergy formula I am giving Bridgette!
Makes me happy!!
But yeah I don't think vets are always right when it comes to nutrition. He also has words to say about feeding raw....:rolls eyes:
ETA: 1200 for a tooth pull and dental is outrageous! It's not "cheap" at our clinic, but I'd say around 200-400 bucks which is far from 1200!!
