I think that if your vet is recommending that you feed pellets, whether it's
exclusively or as part of a varied diet, and your vet is not making any
money on the pellets she is recommending, that is a true measure of her
professional opinion of pellets.  Her opinion is not tainted by a profit
motive.

Thanks for answering my question, Alex.
