I missed this at the time but could not agree more with the judgement that these so called clinical foods are appalling and I never cease to be amazed at how they get away with this.

To be honest it’s high on my list of ‘never feed’ stuff.

What's the truth about this dog food?⁠
⁠
You're spending up to £10/kg ($14/kg) on human waste ingredients.⁠
⁠
Where are the healthy ingredients in this food? What part of this is good for your dog?⁠
⁠
To think that sick dogs, desperately needing specifically balanced, functional fresh foods, are being recommended this processed food. A generic, one size fits all, long shelf life, processed food, is deeply saddening. ⁠
⁠
The California court of appeals found there was sufficient evidence to allege that the sale of prescription pet foods through vets or with veterinary approval, was a deceptive practice and it could be considered fraud, because there were sufficient facts to show these foods were not materially different to normal dog foods. ⁠
⁠
Times are changing, but not quick enough.⁠
⁠
We've come some far in human nutrition, yet with dogs, we are years behind. So much so, that healthcare professionals are still pushing processed foods on sick dogs. Just think, how crazy is that?⁠
⁠
This practice is terrifying, dated and dangerous, yet people still stand by it. Totally and utterly brainwashed.⁠
⁠
Spend less money on a specific diet for your dog. Made with wonderful fresh food ingredients that your dog will love. Recipes that change depending on the support they need. Real nutrition. ⁠
⁠
Not this. Did you know that Hill's prescription diets were involved in one of the largest food recalls last year? Hills food had toxic levels of Vitamin D, which had caused “serious health issues in dogs, including renal dysfunction" (FDA) and many dogs died.⁠
⁠
Dog owners are supposed to trust this company with the health of their pet?⁠
⁠
Unnatural processed foods, designed to sit on a shelf for two years without refrigeration, the sort of foods that sit next to the bleach and detergent in the supermarket, are damaging to the health of all living things, anyone who tells you otherwise is crazy.
