[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 986351, member: 6897"] MM feed and pharmacuetical reps. will promote their product at any price. That's their job so I never pay them any attention. The feed store is a great place to visit...sort of like the sale barn but the information being passed is usually less than dependable. I think any good veterinarian should have a better understanding of animal nutrition than most have. Many have zero knowledge of nutrition ( you can tell by all the Science Diet on the waiting room) :lol2: and I've known many give less than accurate advice to clients relative to nutrition. I have three vets I've used off and on and all were excellent. One was head and shoulders above the others tho. He was very down to earth, spoke a language of very short descriptive terms rather than trying to impress with his vocabulary and was always eager for the client to know exactly what he was doing and why. Learned more from him than anybody. He now has one of the largest clinics in the area with about a half dozen vets working for him and folks will drive a long way to use him rather than the local vet next door. Like everything else folks like to feel their business is wanted and appreciated so there is some salesmanship and P.R. involved for the vet that wants to be successful. [/QUOTE]
