    Maybe if people fed these super premium foods in the first place they wouldnt need to resort to the prescription foods.
    I can not see anyone taking a huge step backward from feeding something like innova,evo,natures variety etc etc and feeding science diet.....


    Gee, I bet there are more than enough people that DO feed super premium foods that still end up needing prescription diets.    The people on the dog forums are the ones that are most likely to feed premium but read the health pages...the dogs still get sick.
    Even if a dog did need one of the rx foods for say kidney problems,chances are the food would bring on other ailments aswell that the dog may not have developed had he eaten a more appropriate food.


    Wow...those are some BIG words! That sure presents a horrible picture and worry for those that are trying to live with a sick pet or make one well again.

    I revisited those testimonials I was referring to and it started with the FDA....

    ORIGINAL: sooner  Don't get me wrong - I like the super-premium companies - but to make prescription diets would contradict their attitude that dogs never get sick on their foods [8|]

     
    No, not necessarily because there are other reasons outside of nutrition a prescription diet may emerge.  Take medical reasons for instance.  Sometimes after a spay or neuter, a dog may experience sudden weight gain.  The normal diet even though a super-premium feed, may not be enough to combat certain problems due to medical.  A prescription diet may be geared to help prevent the weight gain but tackle the problem from a different approach other than increased fiber.
