Now I do agree with you there. I do think and wish vets here had more training in nutrition and not from the dog food companies. And yes, they should have more as nutrition is a big part of health care.

We have specialists in the field of small animal nitrition associated with Massey University and I am sure they would be prepared to impart their knowledge. Also at Massey is the top veterinary school in the Southern Hemisphere.
Send them over. (Like the colleges here would listen. <sigh>)
