I learned from this forum that members suggested and decided to try Royal Canin. I got a free puppy size sample of Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier from a Canadian pet expo event last year and Bella loved it. I recently bought the R.C. Y.T. Adult food because she's an adult now. I was surprised that Bella loved it more than her Acana. I'm also impressed that R.C. have these foods for specific breeds and other health reasons. Although Acana has fresh chicken meal and turkey meal listed as their first ingredients and R.C. does not. I believe the science and nutrition behind R.C. is good. Bella is a finicky eater and as long as she loves it and eats well and poohs well. I'm happy with it. In addition I also cook fresh chicken breast strips with her meals. |
Yup I fed Acana for years. Jackson developed a mild heart murmur - whether that is from the food or not, I do not know.
But their foods have personally affected some Yorkies on here who are dealing with diet-related heart issues.
So yeah I've learned I'd prefer to deal with companies that have Quality Control and Research vs. what I (who is NOT a doctor or nutritionist) think "looks pretty on paper".
