Unfortunately Vets don’t know that much about dog food. Most of them refer foods that they are somewhat familiar with and that they sell themselves. Recommending, selling or whatever at times means a little more money in the Vet’s pockets. I WOULDN’T feed my dog either Hill’s or Royal Canin. They are both trash foods loaded with a lot of trash…literally! There are some great foods out there. This site is very objective. Take a look and pick either a four or five star rated food. I’m sorry for your loss and good luck with your pet’s futures!
