I don't understand how people would just assume that a company with a reputation such as RCs would change a food without much careful thinking/planning. Hill's deleted a food some time ago and I had to switch to another food. I was upset at the time, but in the end I realized that they are a great company and my pups were in good hands. I would feel the same way about RC.
Anyway....I am so happy to see you here posting! I never thought to mention it to the vet nutritionist I used to consult with....she recently was hired by RC down here in the Houston area.
Thank you for being here to explain this food change with RC Yorkshire Terrier food. I really found your post easy to read and digest. Especially your last paragraph....great explanation and analogies!  |
Hi!!
Happy to hear my post on the Yorkie changes was easy to read. As you get to know me more, you will quickly learn I will use a ton of analogies to explain otherwise complicated topics
I wonder if I have met your veterinary nutritionist in passing...?
My next analogy installment: Why do we refer to it as the skin "barrier"? The skin's role is to help regulate the body and also protect it from the elements. Your brick house works in very much the same way. The bricks are your skin cells, and the mortar is the ceramides (fat) the runs between the skin cells. Your house helps to keep things you consider valuable inside, such as your jewelry, your yorkies
, and your air conditioning, while keeping things you don't want out, such as buglers, dirt, and allergens. The same is true for your skin barrier. It helps to keep your body's valuables in, like water, temperature and nutrients, while keeping things you don't want out, like allergens, microbes and irritants.
Have a great day and chat with you soon
