I will tell a story, a true one! I have fed Royal Canin, my neighbor also, and my daughter. I always feed puppy food, when my bitch is going to have babies. Both my neighbor (who has Yorkies & daughter) dogs came down with milk fever, low in calicum. We were all feeding the same, all of our bitchs who were pregrant were fed Royal Canin puppy, and 2 of the 3 came down with the milk fever. Needless to say, none of us are feeding Royal Canin any more. I did tell this to one of their reps at a dog show, and never heard any thing from the company. Yes our dogs liked the food. My daughter does not live here, but 100 miles away. I can't feed something to my girls that will/could cause a problem.
