Vets actually get very little schooling on nutrition in vet school whether you want to believe it or not. One required class before entering the prevet program and it can be taken online in 8 weeks if chosen to and includes most animals (bovine, feline, canine, equine, etc). Everything after that is optional electives. And after vet school their knowledge is limited to that of the money hungry big boys (Colgate, nestle, and mars).
His vet recommended proplan grain free. Has three pea ingredients in the top two lines. So a pea based food. A BIG ingredient of the dcm talks if you don’t recall.
I would avoid playing into all this hype of the big companies wanting you to switch to their food. See a nutritionalist, or a specialist in the silica stones if you want the best results. Dogs don’t need a mainly carb diet and if you can afford something beyond feeding kibble I would highly recommend it.
