Hi Patricia,
Personally, I think if you asked those questions of a Boarded Veterinary Nutritionist you’d get a puzzled look back in return.
The questions reflect your understanding of diet selection/nutriiion which is very very different from how a boarded veterinary nutritionist or even a regular DVM would likely approach the subject.
It is meaningless to ask what percentage of the diet should each vitamin or mineral be when you didn’t define the energy basis.
Boarded Veterinary Nutritionists are all pretty united on the mantra that you can not judge the quality of a diet by looking at an ingredient list. So yes I’d say that the boarded veterinary nutritionist hypothetically sitting across the table from you would inform you that are indeed “way off” as you put it.
Finally, veterinarians do not receive any type of “kickback” on each bag they sell.
