Love your post! Mine will pick out those tiny Royal Canin kibble no matter what I mix it with. They love the stuff! It is not that bad. Some say they don't like it but I do believe it is a good food. Like you said, maybe not the best, but then I am not eating the very ultimate mix of food myself. I know my dogs are healthy. I get asked what they eat to make them shine like they do so I think some Royal Canin is not going to hurt. I also have fed Canidae which they all did extremely well on. I liked the "All Life Stage" concept as I had a senior, adults & puppies. I have been thinking about changing them again -- to maybe a non-grain or a "raw" diet. I cannot stomach the idea of a total raw diet but thought I might be able to do some of the prepared "raw" diets. Still -- why fight it? My dogs are doing well on the Royal Canin and they love it. My dachshund lived to be 17 1/2 (and she was started on Alpo & Pedigree before I knew better than that) -- so maybe we are all taking this food thing a little too seriously. I don't want to feed by-products or any chemical that has been deemed harmful. But beyond that -- I think there are plenty of good foods that are good enough.
