Pulled this off of RC's site. The updated ingredient list doesn't match the one at Petsmart. This is for RC's Mini-Special kibble.
That's too bad, they new ingrediants aren't as good as the old.

Old:

Chicken meal, chicken, brown rice, brewers rice, chicken fat, corn gluten meal, dried egg powder, dried beet pulp (sugar removed), natural chicken flavor, dried brewers yeast, brewers rice flour, anchovy oil, soya oil, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), potassium chloride, flax seed, sodium tripolyphosphate, choline chloride, salt, Vitamins [DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), biotin, D-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), niacin supplement, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid, riboflavin supplement (vitamin B2)], salmon meal, marigold extract (Tagetes erecta L.), Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], L-carnitine, preserved with natural mixed tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), rosemary extract, and citric acid.

Before, the first two ingredients were a quality protein then came a quality carbohydrate, brown rice. Now the carbohydrate is brewers rice, and it's a by product with little nutritional value, it has calories, that's about it.


I'm wondering if the sudden downgrading of RC's foods has anything to do with the fact that in April of this year Mars spent 2.9 billion dollars and bought Procter and Gambles, IAMS, Eukanuba and Natura. That's a lot of money. Financial Services Industry News.Net | Industries News.Net | Global industry news site
