Something else you may not know is that RC was one of pet foods that were recalled, and MANY animals have died, before, during and still are getting sick. They may not use rice with melamine in it any more but dogs and cats are still dying from this kibble.
Most of the complaints I have seen have been renal failure in both cats and dogs. And lots of gastrointestinal issues!! This is just not a good dog food. I know it made Pennie vomit when I fed it to her.
Did you know RC is not even made in the USA?? It is from france, but also other countries (other than the USA) make it, there are a few plants, even one in Africa.
Not being made in the US the dog food is not regulated, how can they? They can't because ALL ingredients are bought from other countries like China.
The ingredients is full of garbage, corn, wheat, beet pulp (filler) and several other things that just aren't really good for our pets.
One of the MAIN ingredients is cellulose, do you know what this is? it is WOOD, yep, it is sawdust and used as a cheap filler/fluffer.
Here read about it yourself
