There’s an old saying, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!” This sure applies to the advice you get on nutrition over the internet! People read a few sites and parrot what they’ve read, and after you read it enough you think it’s the truth, or at least has some merit to it. Not so, Even the statement about preservatives cause cancer is loaded. Do they really? Or is this just a lot of hype? By the way, saying that dogs get more cancer since kibble was invented is misleading, another thing that happened is that people are spaying and neutering their dogs, and dogs are living to old age. I know so many examples of people whose dogs died before they were 5 because they ran away and got hit by a car. Unneutered dogs tend to run away. Cancer is as old as humans are, it has been found in Aztec mummies, and it's not something new that causes it. If you live long enough, something is going to get you, heart disease, or cancer; I don't care how well you take care of yourself. If you take care of yourself, maybe you can last a little longer, or at least be healthy in the meantime.
I switched from RC because of stuff I read here about it, people acted like it was a mediocre food, just because it wasn’t 5 stars rated on some web sites. These people have no training in nutrition though, they are supposedly unbiased regular people choosing what they think is the best food. The food I switched to, gave Joey terrible eye drainage, and I’m really ticked off about switching. I switched back to RC, and decided to ignore all those who slammed it. Joey’s doing really well on it, no tummy upsets, vomiting, diarrhea, or gas, no eye drainage, low formation of tartar, and his coat is unbelievable. Royal Canine has been working with the Yorkshire Terrier Club of American breeders and they really are dedicated to making a formula that Yorkies thrive on. Lots of people here have said, “If it aint broke, don’t fix it”, well this now is one of my favorite quotes.” |
