Dr Nick Cave does not work for Hills. He works for Massey University in New Zealand. He is regarded by Massey University as a completely independent small animal/canine international nutrition expert as does Cave regard himself. He and his team at Massey are qualified to act on behalf of AAFCO in the testing and approval of dog food as are some other specialists in some other countries outside of the USA where AAFCO is based. Cave will endorse all dog food approved by AAFCO. He may very well have done some work for Hills at some stage in the past to help Hills develop products that eventually earned the AAFCO seal of approval. That can only be positive. Hills had engaged one of the best consultants available.
Royal Canin is another dry food dog product that Cave highly recommends and some people will have a gripe against that product as well. I believe Royal Canin contains very little that is fattening and some dog owners feel that they have to give their dogs more that what is recommended so as to satisfy them. Some dog owners are pretty finicky - they don't know a good product when it stares them in the face.
