More Veterinary Nutritionists Endorse Grain-Based Dog Food It seems veterinarians are now being offered pet food “talking points” from board-certified veterinary nutritionists. Presumably these talking points can be used to debate pet owners concerned about the quality of commercial pet food.It often takes years for the effects of a poor diet to appear in both people and pets. And it is customary for many DVMs to NOT connect the dots between, for example, organ failure in a middle-aged pet and a long history of low quality nutrition. While it’s true very large pet food manufacturers have funded most of the pet nutrition studies done to date, that research – upon which the traditional veterinary community, including veterinary nutritionists, depend -- cannot be considered objective.
