Owner impressions of three premium diets fed to healthy adult dogs.

Objective: To determine owner impressions of 3 premium canine diets when factors such as price and retail source were removed; to compare body condition scores (BCSs) assigned by owners versus a veterinarian; and to determine consistency of owner impressions of diets when owners were not informed that they were feeding the same diet during 2 consecutive periods.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Animals: 44 healthy adult dogs.
