Welcome to our Group!
Unfortunately, most veterinary schools provide inadequate education on basic canine and feline nutrition.
Nutrition may occupy as little as a one week long seminar in their many years of education to become veterinarians.
For answers to nutrition they look to pet food manufacturers, which readily supply them with specialty, preventative diets for all life stages and ailments. Such an example is the Science Diet / Hill's Brand.

My Name is Marie Peppers and I want to help you learn what is good for your pets. I offer a Free Q and A site for Alternatives in Pet Medications and Treatments. Also, I am glad to guide you in proper feeding and healthy diets. I have a vast knowledge in supplements and vitamins, too.
PLEASE NOTE
My comments and answers to your questions or any information in my articles is not to be used "in lieu of" veterinarian's advise, diagnosis, or treatment."- NOW - Seek treatment when or if needed by your local vet office or Holistic vet office.
