Royal Canin for Princess,
and anything she can get her paws on
when she thinks I'm not looking!
Paper, TV control, purse, car keys!!!

Samson eats Innova for puppies

Royal Canin Puppy 33 for free feeding, I was feeding science diet wet puppy food at night and they only ate it so-so. I wasted soooo many cans of expensive dog food till I discovered the Natural Balance brown rice and lamb dog food ROLL-I couldn't figure out what everyone was talking about before with the "Rolls" then saw them in Petsmart and the light went on! Both of the dogs love it. I slice off one piece and chop it up for them. They actually act like "real" dogs and go after it like it's filet mignon! Great for picky eaters.

By the way....does anyone know how to pronounce "Canin" in royal canin? It's always a source of "hmmmm" to me. Is it like "K-9" or do you give it a french lilt "ca-neen". I hope somebody knows so I don't sound stupid the next time somebody asks what they eat while I'm in petsmart....right now I just point and say "that stuff".

I use Innova Evo for my oldest (a poodle mix) and am in the process of switching my new little Yorkie girl over to it.

Lily's Mom,

I feed Scooter BilJac. That is what the breeder sent me home with. He didn't seem to care for it too much....but that may have been the stress of the car ride and the new home. He seems to eat it fine now. Not sure if I will switch him to something else or not...I'll just have to wait and see. Good luck....hopefully your baby will end up liking it.

I feed Diamond Lamb and Rice and Nutro Lamb and Rice. For some reason they like the different shapes....Some days they eat all the squares first, some days it's the round ones....

Ilovebaby · 10-11-2005, 06:04 AM

I feed Baby Bil-Jac. She LOVES it. I free feed her and she eats about twice a day, and poos either once or twice. This is the food that the breeder sent me home with, the only swtiching that has been done is from the puppy to adult formula.

i JUST got back from the vet and he said that I made an excellent choice by feeding Maggie Nutro

I was very happy to hear that. Thanks to everyone here, I've learned so much and have been able to make great choices when it comes to my baby.

Hmm, I was thinking it was a trendy, advertising spelling of canine, but I googled it and found out it was a French company bought out by a U.S. company. So there may be something to your ca-neen theory.

But I wonder how they pronounce "Royal?"

I am Glad that others feed this since this is what we feed our Danes also. The Danes can not have corn so this worked best and it was smaller peices so it worked for Snickers also and was happy about it.

Maybe I should just stick with it then. She will eat it but not great. What she wants is the cat food. She sits by the cabinet and whines and looks at me. I usually give in.

I started about a month ago feeding mine Nutro Ultra it's a holistic dog food all natural ingredients. They absolutely love it. I've had no problems with diahrreah or vomiting from any of them.
