Kind of late, but as a vet tech, do you have the freedom to recommend anything you personally feel is good? I've heard that vet clinics often get "sponsored" by certain products and encouraged to sell them, like Science Diet stuff. I never quite know if I should trust my vet's recommendations (in terms of actual products) or do my own research.

I've worked at a clinic where the vets did not want me discussing or recommending anything to the clients, but that's more because they were shitty bosses who enjoyed the power trip over the unfortunately less-educated clientele, than being sponsored by a particular company. Most other clinics I've been at view making recommendations to clients as basic vet tech duties. As long as I'm not recommending stuff that goes against the clinic's stances on things, and as long as I'm not interfering with specific health requirements of a particular animal, I can pretty much go nuts with whatever I suggest.

It certainly never hurts to do your own research, and to ask your vet for options. If they won't give them to you, or if they won't give you a reason why, that's definitely a big warning sign!

(And yes unfortunately there are vets and clinics that get 'sponsored' by certain companies and yes, Hills/Science Diet is a big offender. They have useful diets but man their marketing team is aggressive.)
