Lastly, the have done something called ingredient splitting, so that the protein can be higher up the list than it should be. You can break down all food into three ingredients, protein fat and carbohydrates. Look at all the sources of carbohydrates in this food, brewers rice, rice, and oatmeal. Crude protein of this is only 25 percent, and old RC was 28. |
Absolutely right! Unless I'm missing something. I hadn't looked at these more generic, multi breed, formulas before at RC so I don't know what they were. This was not the RC Yorkie 28 or the new RC Yorkie.
I do like the point of getting to the percentages... I suppose I'd have to go to RC's website for that and that is a very important step in selecting a nutritious diet for our pups regardless of the brand or formula that you choose.
In this posting, I was trying to point out something I was unaware of previously, the number of offerings RC has. By all means, don't even consider the breed specific RC Yorkie formula that is currently offered unless you are already using it and don't see a need to change of course, still a (clears throat) free country.
For the loyal or prospective RC customers, there are other options within the brand. I'm committed to my bag of Wellness Complete Health Toy Senior unless Gucci rejects it completely, at this point.
