And welcome to DU, Ben Ceremos! I was berated on a dog message board because I don't feed my dogs a raw diet, but follow my vets' advice and feed them what he prescribes. The thing is, my pets are older, and have come to me with myriad problems, such as two 8-year-old cockers with seizures, so I am very dependent on my vet. On this message board they tried to tell me that vets know little about nutrition and are paid by the dog food companies to promote certain foods. I don't mind cooking for my dogs, but I cook what he suggests, since I'm hardly an expert. If I got a puppy, I'd seriously consider it, but I tend to adopt the older ones because they're the ones who need me. I now have a little 10-year-old terrier mix and a 12-year-old Brussels Griffon, both rescue, whom I've had for two and three years, respectively. Thanks so much for the info and welcome to DU.:D
