Vets don't get a lot of training in nutrition. More hours with sales reps trying to sell them food for the office. Think about how many bags of SD you see at the vets vs brands like Blue or Taste of the Wild or what I feed, Fromm.
That's a question that you will probably get endless opinions on what is best here- if you are interested in how dog foods are rated, check out dogfoodadvisor.com.
It is a controversial topic with which I have no experience. May want to check with Carmen (user name carmspack) on this topic. I believe she has given helpful info to a lot of folks with dropped pasterns which I think is related to the overall issue.
Personally, I'd seek a 2nd medical opinion on this before doing it. The understanding of what are appropriate protein levels has changed greatly in the last couple of decades.
