I wonder why the vet doesn't like vegetables or pumpkin? My vets have all recommended them and it's been very effective and not to mention far cheaper than buying the vet's food.
I express Francis's anal sacs myself so, believe me! I worked hard to solve the problem.

It's been my experience that the only time most veterinarians recommend a food is when they sell it. They're like a lot of physicians in that they really don't talk up nutrition other than the low fat-low calorie recommendations.
I was getting Francis's glands expressed regularly and NOT ONCE did the veterinarians ever mention increasing his fiber. I learned about it here at the forum and it's been close to a miracle. When I mentioned high fiber to the vet she smiled rather vaguely and said, "That sounds like a good idea" :roll:
They're an excellent veterinary practice for the most part but when it comes to feeding a basset I've really gotten the best ideas from this forum.
