I'm impressed with their prompt replies and am happy their answers satisfied you. They personally don't impress me too much. I get what they're saying. They're more focused on the nutrient profile etc and I too agree that paying attention to a company, where the food is manufactured and nutrient analysis' are MORE important but that doesn't mean ingredients are of ZERO importance either. You could mix together boots/shoes and add some vitamins and make an "appropriate nutrient profile".

I respect RC and what they have done for animal nutrition. But in the end, I still believe them to just be another food company, trying to cut back on costs, and not making it very easy to find this new information. Sorry, but as a consumer, I want/need to know when an ingredient list changes and don't really like how they're just brushing it off like "oh it's the same formula". But... it's not, technically.

Anyway, I hope it all works well for you. The ingredient change personally 100% writes them off my list of potential foods to feed and I probably won't recommend them anymore.

Then again, I'm back to feeding Acana which did change their ingredients (but I was well aware, I got multiple emails, all the stores said "NEW formula", etc) and I wasn't impressed with the addition more peas and lentils, but it's still better than the RC changes imo. I decided to begin feeding the new formulas and to my surprise, they work just as well for Jackson, so RC likely will be the same for you.

I just... I know ingredients aren't everything but I still couldn't convince myself to feed a food with two rice ingredients as the #1 and #2 ingredients, chicken by product for your protein (not even a 'chicken meal' or 'chicken' anywhere in there) and corn gluten meal AND corn. All in the top 10 ingredients. Unless it was literally all my dog could eat.
