A friend of mine called from Texas. Her veterinarian advised her that her dog would require Science Diet Prescription food for the rest of his life after removal of a kidney stone.
This is ridiculous, do not accept this. Tell the vet you plan to feed the animal a natural diet recommended by a nutritionist, refer them to me if need be. I had kidney stones 35 years ago and my diet has changed very little.
Statements in my latest book from a veterinary nutritionist and one of the most renowned vets in the world speak volumes regarding this subject.
First familiarize yourself with your vet’s credentials. Did he major in nutrition or is he just a DVM. Pull up the curriculum for a DVM at Texas A & M, Colorado State or Ohio State, three of the most recognized vet universities in the nation. You will find only one 3 hour credit course in toxicology and nutrition in 8 years of studies. My current vet graduated from Ohio State a year ago and will be the first to tell you it was not an informative and accurate depiction of what is going on today. She could not tell you the definition of one pet food ingredient.
There is only one reason a vet would prescribe a food for life, he is selling it and making a huge profit.
Many of these prescription diets are for omnivores or herbivores not CARNIVORES.
Common Sense has gone AWOL in our society!
Read the ingredients, full of corn, wheat and by-products.
Who profits the most if your animal is sick?
