Well, the veterinary nutrition thing is definitely not a new topic of debate around here. Thought I would post this link if anyone is interested. http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread....nutrition+food
I don't know how much education vets really get on the topic of nutrition. I just know that I consider my vet to be only one source of info on the topic.

I tried to get on the iams site so I could look at their ingredient list, but the site is currently under construction so I personally don't feel like I can comment on what goes into the Iams puppy food. But what I know many people really detest about Iams is this. What I really hate is that site uses anna nicole smith as a spokesmodel. If ever there was a more vapid waste of oxygen, I don't know who that might be

Grover, was that first post the vet's reply, or your friend's summary of what the vet said? I guess that's irrelevant because it's all hearsay either way, but I'm curious. Anyhow, I would argue that the food isn't really about he percentages. I mean, roughly it is, but the source of those percentages is critical. I mean, corn contributes to the protein content of the food, and contributes quite heavily to it in many poor quality foods, but that isn't a very good source of protein for a dog.
