My Vet gets paid for it.I still like her a lot.But a lot of Vets don't know ore don't want to know.They wear going to put Sissy on it to lose wait.After we talked we decided it was better to give her smaller portions of the food she like and that what i did.Not all Vets are the same.I would talk to my Vet and find out if there i a better quality food that i can give for her medical problems.A good Vet will help you find it or tell you for what to look for in the food your dog needs.I guess I'm lucky my daughter in germany is going to be a Vet and i can ask her a lot.Dog food is diverent heir.So she can help me with that.

The vets here get NOTHING. We order through a middle man...General Pet to be exact. All the vets here do. There is more to it than corn in special diets. I have SEEN the lives that have been saved. I would feed their prescription food in an instant if my pets were ill. The A/D can food has helped me save many sick under-nourished kittens and puppies. Remember to NOT all vet schools are the same. And remember too you are making BROAD generalizations. My vets also recommended and sold Walthams and one other brand that escapes me. So please forgive me, but you do sound like an anti-vets because they make money. They are vets to make money, they like animals but they do DESERVE to make a living.
