I did state what brands of vet diets I was feeding, if it says “not recommended for long time use” on one vet formula, it would say it on all their formula’s, it’s not misleading it was printed on side of kibble bag back 2013-2014 on both brands of vet diets, both in fine print on the side of the kibble… it’s to saved their arse if ever they get sued..
I do & have feed vets diets when my boy is ill they have never really helped him & he reacts to most of the ingredients….
I AM NOT anti-vet I have a great relationship with Patches vet she often rings me to ask how is Patch going & what was the name of the kibble you were feeding Patch that helped his stomach or which kibble was it that he stopped scratching that doesn’t have high fat content… Patches vet called me just before Christmas cause Hills have changed their Z/d formula & added more fiber & never told anyone or the vets & she has 3 very sick dogs for Christmas, so I drove over to the vets & gave them all a Xmas card from Patch & gave her
& another vet the printed new Pro Plan vet diets with all the fiber, fat, protein percentages that we have just gotten in Australia & I know the Pro Plan Hydrolyzed formula is exactly like Hills old Z/d formula…cause I had spoken with the Purina Vet Nutritionist 1 week before & she gave me all the fat, fiber percentages for Patch…

I DO believe in feeding a dog/cat a vet diet when very ill but not to be feed for the rest of his/her life they are short term fixes not long term….
