The WSAVA is deliberately recommending dog foods from the dog food companies who give them money.
And trying to disparage the ones who are economically threatening to these “recommended” dog foods.
Follow the money, people.
I have fed Blue Buffalo for years and my pets are very healthy and have never had any problems. Shame on you Lane Vets. If you want to be of service to pet owners. Tell how bad “Old Roy” from WalMart is. But then you would be taking on the giant company and you apparently don’t have the courage to do that. My vets have briefed our Kennel Club on how bad and the health problems Old Roy creates.
