Royal Canin is a reputable company! Be careful about what you read on the internet. There are so many self proclaimed experts...all bashing ingredients . The following website is run by veterinary nutritionists...if you look at the "ask a vet section" there are TONS of questions about dog foods and answers from the real experts in animal nutrition.

Below is a question and answer from the site:
QUESTION: Hello. Thank you for what you do. With so much hype in the dog food industry I am constantly second guessing myself as to what my dogs should be eating. My Frenchie has a very sensitive stomach and we have already had a formulated home cooked diet which in the end have him bloody diarrhea and vomiting so we went back to kibble. He is allergic to severa things based on allergy test and is on Royal Hydrokyzed kibble and wet food. My other puppy is on Pro Plan. I keep reading how horrible these foods are. I lost my female Frenchie at 4 year old for no reason and it was so horrible. She was always on the high end grain free kibble and now I am starting to believe some of these companies are not as good as they advertise. Any suggestions for brands?
ANSWER: It is hard to know who to trust and no one company is perfect all the time - in any sector of the market.
However, I would have no immediate concerns if feeding a Royal Canin or Purina product.
I feed several different Purina products to my dogs. I have been to the Royal Canin facilities and manufacturing plants ... and am confident they are doing the very best job possible.
Not to say mistakes won't happen – the recent Hill’s recall is a very good reminder, that even the best of the best companies can make a mistake. But when they do, they own up to it, try to make it right and fix the problem.
Small companies, although may be attractive b/c they are small and ‘personal’ are a far greater of a risk in my opinion.
