| MINI Special? / MINI (dogs from 9 ? 22 lb) / Size Health Nutrition / Dog Products / Products / Products / Home Royal Canin USA - Royal Canin Pulled this off of RC's site. The updated ingredient list doesn't match the one at Petsmart. This is for RC's Mini-Special kibble. |

Before, the first two ingredients were a quality protein then came a quality carbohydrate, brown rice. Now the carbohydrate is brewers rice, and it's a by product with little nutritional value, it has calories, that's about it. I'm wondering if the sudden downgrading of RC's foods has anything to do with the fact that in April of this year Mars spent 2.9 billion dollars and bought Procter and Gambles, IAMS, Eukanuba and Natura. That's a lot of money. Financial Services Industry News.Net | Industries News.Net | Global industry news site

| After my pup developed diarrhea after being on RC, I will not buy dry RC again. He does ok on the canned GI RC. Funny thing is he was on RC since he was able to eat with his original owners. I got him at 3 months and he did ok for 2 months then developed diarrhea. I think it had something to do with the composition of the RC. Must be something new because he never had a weak stomach before. We have now transitioned successfully to Hills GI but I'm thinking he may be able to go on regular Hills. |

| Hi everyone! My name is Ashley Harris, and I am a nutritionist with Royal Canin Canada. I noticed there were a few questions around Royal Canin formulas, our ingredients or nutrients in general and wanted to offer my support to anyone interested. I didn't want to sidetrack the current conversation you have going on in this thread, so I opened a new thread called http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...questions.html Take a wander over there, even just to say hi, and feel free to post any questions you might have for me. Have a great day! Ashley |

| Hello Ashley!! Judy Wright here....devoted, loyal, and VERY long time member of the RC family....since 1978. I am thrilled you have found your way here....I have been in communication with my rep as well as "corporate" regarding the changes y'all have made in the formulas, and information direct "from the horses mouth" is most welcome! I believe I have communicated with you personally on several occasions as well. I personally will not "jump ship" as RC has served me and my dogs very well for many years, as long as I do not see any deterioration in my dog's conditioning, which is something I do not expect to happen! I do feed the Adult Mini, which has apparently not rearranged the order of the ingredients listed on the label....this change in the ingredient label is of grave concern for many people, and I am NOT a dog food nutritionist, so I can not adequately defend your decisions to make these changes! Believe me, I have tried!....while everyone has their own favorite brand of dog food, for whatever reasons, I am very impressed to see the arrival and active participation of someone actually appearing from the company.....I do not believe that has ever been done by any other of the brands that have been criticized or questioned on here. Great to see RC is actually watching and listening to what consumers are saying about their product! I have tried to make it evident that RC is indeed listening to consumers. Welcome Ashley....I do hope people that have concerns will contact you so you can answer questions and perhaps alleviate concerns some may have. (My major concern about RC is why cant I get your fabulous puppy milk formula here in the US to use in my tube feedings when necessary for supplemental feeding for puppies that need this extra attention.....I have contacted RC about this for several years.....even asked if I could "smuggle" the milk in from Canada!! I understand why the milk is not produced here....just wish I could get RC to provide me access to some!!) |

Being an informed customer, whether loyal or fleeting, is a good policy regardless of brand! There is so much to choose from, there's really no reason to settle for something that doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies. | |

| As soon as I get towards the end of this bag of Hills GI I'll try regular Hills. It'd be nice to not have to bring a script with me every time I go to buy dog food. Hopefully regular hills has smaller kibble because he has a slight bit of trouble eating the bigger bits. |

| No, I haven't yet. Just bought a $30+ dollar bag of Hills gastrointestinal and I think it'll take him a while to finish it. I'm just happy he can eat without having diarrhea. Soon as that bag gets low I'll start to mix to incorporate a different type of Hills. I'll look into ideal balance for small breed. Thanks. |
