Wow I see that the ingredient in the USA Royal Canin food is so much diffirent from the Europe Royal Canin food. Here in Iceland there was no food recall, we receive the samt food as UK and Ireland and on their RC page I found this statement.

Strange that the ingreditents are not the same!
It seems as the American factory and Europe factory are not making the same food?

I have never heard of the types of food that you are talking about, here you can buy Hills, Technical, Pro pac, Performance, Purina, Pedigree, Solid Gold, Arden grange.... but never heard of AVoderm, Canide and Innova.
Here Royal Canin is thought to be the best quality dog food and it has the biggest range (so many types to choose from). But I can not find it on http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_f...iews/index.php

I see that most of you use Canide, is it expensive?
Is it one bag for all breeds? No special for mini dogs?
It seems that Canide all life stages is for puppies, adults, mature dogs, small, medium and large dogs, is this correct?
I am very curious about this food because your dogs seem to like it so much.

and yes, happy Independence Day
