I am still leery about long-term feeding of the super-high protein % foods. I wanted to try grain free but the only ones I saw locally had 42% protein -- sort of hard on the pancreas/liver. So, I stuck to one that included grain. I am testing Innova and Solid Gold at the moment. Mine LOVE Royal Canin but am hoping after being off it for a while they will forget and accept another food. I don't think RC is a bad food, but do think there are better ones. If my pups will just eat the other ones as well, I will be good to go.
What a dog can tolerate does depend on what has been going on recently too. I used to feed Canidae with absolutely NO problems, they all did well on it. Then I had them off all canned for quite a while. Reintroduced the same Canidae canned food and they got the runs. It wasn't the food -- it was what they had become accustomed to. I have a feeling this is often the reason for such different experiences with the same food. Part difference in dogs, and part difference in what they are used to at the time. |
I stared my furbabies on Royal Canin fr puppy to adult, but Mily now 4, stated having problem with her liver count, the vet said RC was hard on her liver, so now I have them both on Hills Prescription Diet I/D Hepatic Health hard and soft food an all the number on her liver came back good. So they are both on it, and I'm happy with it. It cost a litle more , but I do get a bigger bag and the soft food is 2.38 a can , but I cut it in 3 pie and give them 1/2 of a pie to each a day. So in the long run , I feel it's better for them and it's not that much of a diffrent if their pancreas/liver came back with good count. they love it, so we are all happy
