Michael,

I am not addressing the Science Hill JD that you suggested Marshy put Dexter on, but addressing the statement you made in the Dexter thread about the Doctor saying that Hills products is the number one best overall food for dogs. I am assuming he was making a general statement about all the different Hills food available, which many can be found in the local supermarket, as well as the vets office. I think the majority of vets say this and recommend Science Hill because they all seem to stock the Hills Food in their practice and of course, if they promote and sell it, they are making a profit.

The veterinary Science Hill prescription foods may, at times, be appropriate in instances such as Dexters and other situations, but as for the regular Science Hill foods, I would not feed that to my pets; most have fillers/Corn and By products. I have also seen where some of the Veterinarian prescription foods have Corn as their first ingredient followed by Chicken by products.

Here are a couple of links to the Science Hill Foods. Not all of them, but the majority have Corn and By products as their main ingredients. I wonder why they don't improve on that and am wondering why the Doctor you interviewed feels that Corn and by- products in the Hills food would make it the best all around food for dogs?
