Our vet clinic has a freezer full of raw food (Raw Health brand) and they also carry Wellness and Natura.

They do have some prescription foods (Royal Canin I think).

What does your vet office carry for foods?

Royal Canin, and I think that is it. Not actually sure...
Potentially Science Diet as well. I know they sell litter by Purina.
The vet I use feeds raw, and suggests grainfree kibble if you are not able to feed raw.

Our vet clinic just started carrying Wellness... I just checked their facebook page and it was on their wall. The first few times I went to the vet I noticed the freezer and finally looked inside to find that it was raw food. I think this is the first vet I've ever gone to that carried holistic foods.

I have 2 vets.

The one in town sells Science Diet and Royal Canin mainly. I think they sell Purina Pro Plan now too. We mainly go to this vet for nail trims and stuff like that because its close.

Our other vet, which we go to for everything else, has his own all-holistic feed store located right beside his clinic. It carries a TON of different brands of food, both kibble and raw.

Science DIEt :rolleyes:

I love them, but we don't talk about food anymore . . . not since I told them to absolutely, under no circumstances give Tallulah any of their food after her spay (in case they had to keep her overnight). They thought I was nuts, but there was no way I wanted to deal with three days of diarrhea and upset stomach. They insisted, "oh, but this is GOOD food," and I insisted, "oh, no, it's not, read the label -- it's crap."

My vet clinic sends people to Chuck and Don's (where I work) to get good food :D
They push a lot of raw. I love my vet.

Our main vet that closed didn't sell food. He told us what he fed his dogs and then told us to do out own research. Our other vet that we're forced to use in an emergency sells Science Diet.

My vet doesn't sell any food, but she pushes raw and natural brands of food, and recommends stores (including my work) for people to buy them at.

Royal Canin. My vet tends to recommends a lot of grain-free and limited-ingredient diets due to allergies and sensitivities.

I don't know, they don't keep it up front.... definitely Science Diet (of course) since that's what my cat gets.

My regular vet has different prescription Science Diet stuff. Not a lot of it, but some. He's never, ever pushed it on us and infact was happy to hear what we feed and he's also willing to talk to clients about Raw as well. He just doesn't sell quality brands.

The other vet I go to also has different prescription foods... some I think is Science Diet, but not all of it. I can't remember what the other kind is, but I don't think it's much better than Science Diet in the way of quality. I think he can have a tendency to push it on clients a bit, though he never has done it to me. But I do only see him when a dog of mine needs a surgery.

My vet (where I work) sells Hills and Royal Canin.... and apparently I'm going to die from salmonella poisoning because I feed raw.
