[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 6244241, member: 5868"] Thanks, but I'll accept your evidence. My wife's a trainer and working toward her vet tech cert, and better educated on the subject than I (or any of the vets she's worked for, frankly) -- we'll let them argue it out. ;) I'm sure my wife will berate me later for misunderstanding something she told me that you've corrected. Edit: Well, [URL="http://www.petnutritionalliance.org/supporters.aspx"]minus their supporters[/URL]: Hill's, Nestle/Purina, and Proctor & Gamble, you mean? Not that there isn't good information there, and for 99% of pet owners it's probably sufficient. I trust that corporate food providers [I]mostly[/I] have their customers' best interests in mind. But those FAQs for vets read like Purina soundbites, and if I had a dollar for every vet we've had whose recommendation for canine nutrition happened to be what they had on the shelf and was woefully ignorant of specialized nutrition needs, well -- but I digress. Anyway, our experience is not a statistically valid sample of the veterinary profession, and we've had some animals with some pretty tough nutrition challenges, so we're probably an extreme case. Having watched our dogs' health as they transitioned to vet-recommended commercial food, to specialized kibble, to our current raw regimen (shared by a number of my wife's fellow agility competitors, and not one of those wacko "wild" diets, by the way) I'll take the raw regimen we're on over any commercial product. Not that it isn't challenging to manage and maintain so for Joe Q Public they're much better off with the mean recommendation. [/QUOTE]
