[nagdu] I'm going on a food strike!

Wed Aug 21 00:46:44 UTC 2013

I would not say that about vets. I have had vets recommend some that was a
little pricy and a little more high quality than Lexia needed, but they do
usually know which ones are high in fat. Lexia had to be switched to a food,
blue buffalo, that was lower in fat. We are not sure that it was the food,
but both Lexia and our pet dog at the time were eating the same brand and
both had problems. If I remember correctly, it was Neutro that was a
problem.

Nicole and Lexia

Hi Daniel.
In my experience, most vets don't really know much about nutrition, just
like most doctors.  They get their food education from the big dogfood
manufacturers, so they think those products are best.  You can ask your
vet's opinion, of course, but most people do research on the internet and
pick what they feel is best.  If I remember right, dogfoodanalysis.com is a
good site for that.
Personally, I look for a food with no wheat or corn, and where meat is a top
ingredient, and where the ingredients are high-quality.
HTH.
Tracy
