We are required in vet school. I was just curious. I never thought Science Diet was a particularly great food... The tests are kind of long and drawn out and hard to remember everything and we have to take 30 of them!

We had to take some for the shelter diet initiative....barf....Science Diet is NOT particulalry nutritious...the first two things are a by-product, then a grain.

I thought so, my teacher just goes on about how it is one of the best. I cringed when I heard that!

Yes I am learning things I don't know. I know the basics. I don't know the little details when it comes to nutrition. I know what to avoid and what you want in your pets food, what and how to feed pregnant animals, babies, seniors, and what to look for as far as quality goes. But when it comes to how much protein, carbs, calcium, phosphorus, and stuff like that and if you want more or less for certain age groups and animals more suseptable to disease, and blah blah blah... I don't know that stuff. So ya, I find it interesting!

Questions like: For this life stage, Hills Science Diet such-and-such formula is the best choice in food and you need to choose which S.D. Formula is best, it gets annoying.
