That's part of the problem in my experiance there are very few "nutritional specialist's" who know about ALL food types. Many are called nutritional specialist's but have only had training by one petfood manufacturer and will only promote that brand or type of food (case in point in this thread). Glad you found one who knew what they were talking about.

Although when I buy the forthglade in bulk, it works out at about £0.20p per 100g, whiskers sachets works out at about £0.26p per 100g so its actully cheaper than the "mcdonalds brands". Worth noting if anyone is on a very tight budget.

Everyone has preferences on what they feed their pets and we shouldn't detract from that. There are pros and cons of each diet type but vets should not be advising owners on diets unless they are fully informed.
On a similar worring note a petcentre down the road from me that has an inhouse vets practice is owned by Masterfoods A division of Mars U.K. Limited owners of Royal Canin, Pedigree etc.
