Royal Caine Dog Food good or bad?
 

I have been feeding Chewy Royal Caine since he was a puppy and at 10 months old switched to the toy royal caine food for under 6 lbs dogs. This is there ingredients. He does not itch or seem like it is bothering him. Can you tell me if this a good choice? Thanks

Personally, I don't like anything with meat "meal", corn or any type of gluten. I had Gracie on the RC for little puppies when she was little, she itched so bad on it from the corn.

If You ment Royal Canin dog food , it has recently been recalled By the US Food and Drug Administration.
Check out the Health and Diet thread on Dog Food recalls. Also The Royal Canin Vet Diet as well.
Both Dog food products contain (Rice Gluten) So as for now I would not feed any dog this Food.

I agree, my Ted was so itchy from this. It's safer to go to a grain free kibble.

Oh great I did not know this that scares me. So what is a good food "Wellness"? and how do I transfer that over because I would still have to mix the RC for 7 days with it.

Same with Britney.

If I were you, I wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

I have never taken 7 days to change food. I found that if changing to a high quality food, there are very few tummy upsets. I have done it over 3 days or so and no problems. Just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and feed that for a few days. If poops stay normal, switch to the new 100% after that.

It was? I can't find a thread on it. I went to their website and don't see anything.

Me too and couldnt. Its only certain ones and the best used date was 2007 - 043008 - I couldnt find anything recent.

So what are some good dog foods for yorkies? I want to purchase this tomorrow and switch him over to it .

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I didn't know that. Hmmmm, thanks for the info I will look into it

Royal Caine Dog Food good or bad?
 

I changed Gucci from Eukanuba when Petsmart was out to Royal Canin. Gucci started itching and losing his hair, so I changed him to Life's Abundance and he's doing great. No itching and his hair has come in nicely. He doesn't wolf it down, but does finish his meals eventually. Sometimes we play games to get him to finish. He's only 3.5# at 5 months, so we're certainly not over feeding him!

I don't see Corn listed in the ingredients above. For one thing depending on your dogs age you can switch to another speciality for the Yorkshire Terrier. Again what I feed has on corn in it. If you see this on the list of recall foods then provide us with a list we aren't seeing it.

There are many good foods. I feed my girls Timberwolf Wild and Natural or Merrick Before Grain kibble. I feed canned Evangers once day. For variety, I feed some canned Party Animal. My girls love all of their food. Holly's breeder recommended Solid Gold (wee bit?) small kibble. I have heard that Canidae and Wellness are also good foods.

The Mini Toy indoor does not appear to have corn in it. I was feeding the Mini Yorkshire 28 formula of Royal Canin and that made Gracie itch terribly. Here are the ingredients:
