Vet recommendation as the #1 switch trigger
Theme — vet-recommendation-trigger
The most-cited reason customers actually switched foods (8+ mentions): “Vet said it was the grain causing allergies,” “vet recommended.” Often paired with a health emergency (ER visit, bloody stool) that made the vet visit happen.
For copy: customers say “vet recommended” or “clinically proven” — they DO NOT say “science-backed” or “optimal nutrition.” Match the language exactly. The Dr. Kwane partnership angle (visible across positioning results) is structurally aligned with this trigger.
Pair with clinically-proven-gut-health — the clinical claim earns the right to use vet/doctor framing; without it, “vet recommended” feels like inserted authority.
