You'd pay a huge amount of money for a doodle dog and those
breeders are some of the biggest dog morons on the planet.
I'm not sure why you're equating "sells at high prices" with
"knows a lot about dog food," but the fact that she
recommended IAMS is kind of a big hint that she doesn't,
actually.

Vets can be pretty hit and miss on dog food. Some know a
lot about nutrition, some don't. Some know a lot about
what's on the market, some don't.

When I questioned my vet on IAMS, he was
very quick to point out that it was a high quality dog
food.

It's probably better than Purina Dog Chow or Old Roy. What
was your vet comparing it to?

It isn't true in every case, but I feel that you most often get what you pay
for.

I've found the correlation to be pretty loose, but if that's
what you believe why are you buying a less expensive dog
food? For example, the IAMS company itself produces a
premium brand (Eukanuba) - why aren't you buying that? What
about the probably dozens of other premium brands?
