I don't think that'll be a massive surprise to a lot of people here. My vets (who seem otherwise exemplary) plug the dried food they sell also - I've told them mine are on wet bozita, top life, hi-life, nature's menu etc and that I've no intention of giving them the Hills rubbish

Re: Advice on Best Dried Food
My son wants to be a vet - he's only 14 and has a massively challenging workload ahead of him but if he gets there he will know enough to be dubious about - and at least challenge - his Hill's sponsored () nutrition training thanks to the information here and in the excellent book by US vet Elizabeth M Hodgkins:

Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life: Amazon.co.uk: Elizabeth M. Hodgkins: Books

Or maybe by then the veterinary schools will have realised that there is a shocking lack of actual research into these dry diets and that, as Elizabeth says, our pets (and their surgeries!) are the guinea pigs.

Vets do very little, if anything, on nutrition, when Milly was so very poorly we had her at a top european soft tissue specialist, the food she was prescribed was one that the practice 'sponsored' I guess the word is, I sent details of the ND - which I put her one, although he could NOT reccomemend it due to potential lawsuits I would guess, he did off the record tell me it was 'good' also he told me never to feed her dry! THAT I ADD was due to her condition.

Re: Advice on Best Dried Food
Success they now eat Smilla Poultry, plus the one with Tuna, Bozita Chicken Liver in Jelly, Turkey in Jelly. These I can change on a daily basis due to it having no ill effects on their botties, because it is good quality food. Thanks again for the advice.
