What do vets know about dog food?

Think about it, how good can it be when it's suppose to be complete food, in a sack that can be on the shelf for weeks, in my garage for a month and not spoil. I don't know of any complete human food that can do that unless it's been especially preserved, vacuum sealed, dehydrated and all that. , How long can a human be health if they only ate MRE(s)? But it's all we have that is affordable so I just feed a little of it and supplement it with good stuff that I'm willing to eat.
I agree with what you have said. Well stated too. Wanted to add that I haven't found one vet that I would listen to when concerning nutrition. They barely touch on the subject while in school, and certain dog food companies will donate textbooks to vet schools, with hopes that the future veterinarians will remember where the books and stuff came from, and give a future endorsement.
I feed Orijen and mix some Sojos Complete, with it, to help keep the cost down, by using less of the kibble(Orijen). When mixed with hot water, it sure looks like a tasty gravy/paste (LOL). The dogs keep coming back to the empty bowl trying to find the last morsel. I haven't checked lately, but all this good eating would amount to about 4 dollars a day tops, per hound. (Maybe 3 and change?) I think it is worth it, with hopes that my dogs overall health including bones and joints, eyes and hearing, will keep them treeing past ten years of age. All my opinion...no offending anyone.
