I feel sorry for you and Sophie, your vet sounds like she'd be really frustrating to have. We've found a great vet for Harley and Abby. We actually took Abby to the vet a couple of weeks ago, and our regular vet wasn't there (I think he was on holidays, as it was just after Christmas), but this new vet seemed to know what he was doing. He was talking about getting Abby to lose a bit of weight, due to her recently diagnosed heart murmur. He said never buy any commercial dog foods, avoid anything sold at the regular supermarket, and told us that he highly recommends feeding our dogs home-cooked meals. He gave a few suggestions about what to feed them.

It's really frustrating when a vet can be so close-minded. They think that what they've learnt at uni/college is what they should stick too, and anything other is incorrect, or not as good. I can't believe she wouldn't listen to your ideas and thoughts.
