Our current vet is pro-dry food but charges $55/visit.

Hope this info helped you.
We have three "Cat Only" vet clinics in Calgary, that I found, it may be more.
They charge 83.00-98.00 per reg visit, and only ONE in the city is an Actual Board Certified? Cat Specialist? or who went to 'Vet Cat Univerisity?'Vet on staff.
I know that may not be relevant, But they do offer many things that other Vet Clinics don't , Diet Counciling, cat massage therapy, and have a 'behavior specialist'. Their office hours are limited, and some are not open on weekends. The place their website says to call . in case of an emergency is Tiger's Clincic.
They are one of the 4 24/7 Animal Hosptial Emergency Facilites, and have all of the major specialist, and DX equipment, (CT, MRI, on site pharmacist and other stuff). I am not familiar with a Pro-dry food medical/vet preference,
I do know that Tiger, and Ginger (RIP) have always been on Veterinary only diets of hard and some soft foods. Thanks for the info.
