I tried to give Uni RC when I first got her thinking that was the best there. Well it is, at Petsmart. Even Petco has better brands now.

Uni is really picky and a friend told me about Honest Kitchen. You can get the "preference" and add your own protein to it, chicken fish or whatever you want (low fat though!). Uni is on the "verve" one she loves it. she barks and barks when it's time to eat. That's never happened before. She also has pancreatitis and this is the lowest fat food I have found 7.5 percent

If you do switch food, make sure you do it slowly.

I personally, do not like RC as well. Any kibble that has corn as the first or second ingredient is a tell tale sign. Corn is a carbohydrate that is used as a stabilizer for the kibble, so that it maintains its structure. However, many companies also use it for the incomplete proteins it contains; as they can include it in their total "crude protein" amounts. The problem with "crude proteins"is that they do not have to be digestible by our pups in order to be included in the total amount. So despite the totals that are given on the side of the bag, your pup still might not be getting enough.
I totally agree with you, complete proteins from high quality meats and fish are essential.
