I’ve been feeding her Nutrience and Dogswell up until today.
Right now I’m feeding her Royal Canin prescription diet for GI issues.
The vet supports two brands. Royal Canin and Hill’s Science diet.

It is possible the cat died due to other factors as I don’t know all the details but my friend is a pretty smart person with a science degree. It certainly does not qualify her as a veterinarian of any sort but it does prove she has some level of critical thinking skills.

Regardless of what killed her cat Hill’s Science diet is poo poo’ed in almost every source I’ve read.

You can’t believe everything you read on the internet but I find dogfoodadvisor to be fairly rigorous compared to other sources and I also know that human MD’s are often not super great sources to get human nutrition information from.

So I’m kind of stuck on what to do.

For now I will follow the vet’s advice because well….he’s a vet but I’d like to find a vet that specializes in nutrition but I don’t know where to start.

I know in the US there’s a college graduating veterinary nutritionists with links to their practices but in Canada I’m not sure there’s such a thing.

Thanks for your link as well.
