I decided to give Blue Wilderness a try because it's rated so much higher, a 6 instead of a 2.
It's rated higher than Royal Canin because it doesn't use corn, and has minimal grain, and it has a higher overall protein content. . I also tried it because Joey seems to have a problem maintaining his weight, Joey's vet would like him to be around 5 ½ pounds, and Joey weight keeps sneaking up, and I thought perhaps the corn in RC had something to do with this. He likes the Blue Wilderness, and will eat it, and even the black pieces, but I hand feed him those, because we do use his food in training. I haven't completely switched, we are half and half now. I was in no hurry. About 2 days after I started giving it to him, he had some eye tearing, each day he has brown goop in his eyes, now I don't know if this is food related, but I'm tempted to back off and see if the tearing goes away. He's 2 ½ and hasn't had any eye tearing since he was a puppy, and it was never this brown goopy kind. I've heard other people say that their dogs had eye buggers and I guess this is what you would call these, but Joey's never had them on the RC.
