Hi, Royal Canin uses byproducts. This means that they throw in hooves, bloody feathers, and other garbage left over my their mother company, Mars. They also use "chicken meal" which means that it is not whole human grade chicken.

Try something else -- I started with Wellness superfive mix (chicken) and it is a high quality food sold now at PETCO. I currently use Merrick, which is excellent, but truth be told, it is expensive.

Good Luck!
