Bodhi did just fine on Puppy Royal Canin I just wanted to add our experience with Royal Canin. Bodhi is now 15 months old.
We got him at 4 months and started him on Royal Canin's Puppy Formula (33, I believe?).
While he experienced the common puppy bile regurgitation, any thing worse was due to other factors.
The cheese he was rewarded with in training class and the times he would skip his evening meal were the worse bowel situations for our poor little guy.
There is the common thought that Royal Canin occasionally causes "smelly poop". The smell improved for us when we were given the prescription for the Hills Low Fat dietat about 6 months.
Bodhi did well on the combination and then tapering off of the RC Puppy food.
I read through this site for the adult dog food that is favored by YorkieTalk members. Natural Balance Ultra Premium Dog Food seemed to be the one for us to try. It's gentle on the tummy & I'm pretty sure it lacks staining ingredients.
Royal Canin is known for having quality ingredients. Anything you feed your dog, especially puppyies, can cause adverse reactions.
Just monitor them the best you can. Don't dismiss anything out of the ordinary because alot more can be going on inside their little systems before we see outside signs.
All in good health
