The food will fill your dog up and yeah, they'll survive but that doesn't mean they are getting a ton of nutritional value.
However, Royal Canin isn't the worst of them either so if you find that your dog absolutely will not eat Orijen then it's okay to feed RC. It all comes down to what you feel comfortable feeding and how well your dog does on it. There is no right or wrong answer. Good luck!  |
Great post. Jackson will devour a bowl of Pedigree or Purina when we visit over at friends house who feed that stuff... he just loves it. I look at it as how humans eat... of course, as a kid, you're going to pick eating cake or ice cream over salad or vegetables, right?
On the other hand, he really loves his Nature's Variety Instinct which I think is an excellent food and it's the first healthy food I've found that he loves!
