  1. I am I'm not planning on plugging the product on DO (although FWIW I do feed my Boxer's just dry food and they look amazing lol!!) I just thought I would put up some more info about who the people at the stand were, and a way for people to find more info if they are interested (Edited for spelling)
  2. The people at the Hill's Stand were either Prescription or Science Diet reps, and those actually doing the weighing (including those with the accents ) were 3rd year University of Melbourne Vet students, certainly not just backpackers There is a helpline 1800 679 932 that is staffed by vets with extensive nutritional knowledge if you would like to be referred to studies etc Hills use to base their recommendations
  3. The people at the Hill's Stand were either Prescription or Science Diet reps, and those actually doing the weighing (including those with the accents ) were 3rd year University of Melbourne Vet students, certainly not just backpackers I think they were just sales reps. I almost had a an argument with them though- they didn't seem to be very well informed or "doggy" people. Fancy not even knowing what a labrador looks like :rolleyes: I noticed a couple had American accents? Probably backpackers or something working casually for Hills.
  4. I am currently involved in something of a discussion with a few friends in regards to the influence of breeders on puppy buyer's future behavior. I personally think most puppy buyers remain quite loyal to the breeders recommendation especially regarding feeding etc, but I am interested in other peoples thoughts Feel free to list your poll response as what you have done, or what you have known your puppy buyers to do. Thanks! ____ I don't think my poll is working, but these are the options I had "How loyal are puppy buyers to breeder's advice on diet?" a) Very (kept puppy on breeder diet for entire lifespan/plan to) b) Somewhat (generally kept puppy on breeder's diet, but with some modifications/additions to suggested diet) c) Hardly (changed diet almost right away/open to and took diet suggestions from vets, pet retailers, other advertising)
