I don't think Ashley will leave because people are questioning if ingredients are coming from China. I doubt if that is Ashley's doings anyway. I agree with Mark in that it is probably company policy not to disclose certain things and it is not Ashley's fault. Now I think that probably most dog food contains something from China.

I just want to be aware of ingredients from China because of the chicken jerky scare. 10 years ago when my dogs were puppies we gave them chicken jerky treats from China. Teddy Bear was throwing up a lot and we thought he had a sensitive tummy so we changed dog food a lot. We couldn't figure why he was throwing up undigested food all the time. Then when the warnings first came out about the jerkey treats from China we stopped buying them immediately. Teddy Bear was never sick again. We returned a bag of Jerky treats to Costco and the employee there told us that they were getting a lot of jerky treats returned because dogs who were eating them were sick like Teddy Bear. So I just want to be aware if anything in the food we are feeding them is from China. I don't think that is too much to ask after all we went through with Teddy Bear being sick because of a product coming from China.

I don't dislike Ashley or want her to go away. I appreciate her being here. We can all read what she is telling us about Royal Canin and take away what we want. If I quit feeding my dogs RC food it would be because I felt the company was being deceptive about sourcing ingredients from China (if there are any ingredients from China), more than that there are ingredients from China in it. Because now I am wondering if there is any dog food out there that doesn't have something from China in it. Since we are new to RC and we are on prescription food, the ingredient change in the Yorkie food didn't affect us.

All I know is that I feel fortunate that I still have my little Teddy Bear with me and he wasn't one of the statistics of the Jerky treats from China. But I am going to do what I can to try and make the best choices for them to keep them healthy.
