Science Diet is really crappy food, and it's wrong of vets to push
it. Not many people read labels or understand what low quality food
it is, and they buy it because their vets sell it.  I'm sure vets get
a kick back from the company.

If you read the labels, so much of the high priced dry is really crap food 
loaded with corn and byproducts.  It's appalling what is out there on pet store 
shelves.
