Interesting article about Royal Canin For anyone considering feeding their dogs Royal Canin, here's some reasons not to Beware of the New Anallergenic Dog Foods with Feather Meal |
OMG :mad:. What an AWESOME and convenient way to spin and market to the public that their dogs should eat a copius waste product called FEATHERS. I'm disgusted. And how 'bout this quote by the President of Royal Canin: “A Great Dane has a very different digestive tract from a Yorkie.” Um, on WHAT planet, Mr. Levy???? Does the Dane happen to have an extra organ or 2 there? 3 stomachs? The Dane has the same GI as the yorkie, but yes sir, it's indeed larger. :rolleyes:. Wow. |
I am very distressed about this. I want to make sure this is a real interview and not some sort of scam. Many of us have used Royal Canin for years with good success. If it is true information it will cause a true uproar of protest. Currently I am feeding Fromm duck formula for Ginny Joy she can't do chicken or grain. Fromm reduced activity for my senior Rubin, Wellness for Abba he likes it and will eat it, and Royal Canin for the others ! |

I didn't know Snickers made dog food...the things you learn here...I also read this a.m. that Mrs. Mars is one of the top 5 richest women in the world...that's a whole lot of m&m's...I mean dogfood....:eek: |
I always look at agendas.......this article is written by Dr.Becker....do ya think she has an agenda or perhaps she promotes something like.....organic food, or raw food or holistic food, etc?? I have fed RC with out problems for years....I trust them. MY concern with feathers is contaminated feathers getting into the formulas....However, I trust their quality control and quality management. I will continue to feed RC until there are scientific, EVIDENCED BASED issues / results, rather than competitors opinions, that become a problem that dictate to me that is no longer a product I trust. |
geez, what does it take for people to stop feeding bad food??? Making excuses to justify feeding it is even worse. I'm sorry, but this is so frustrating! |
You know the more I read about these pet food kibbles, the more I just want to say, hey everyone or most all, home feed, get a vet nutritionist on board to give you advice and just do the home feeding. My God with as little food as Yorkies eat how hard can it be? Most of us have freezers, and you can cook up one week or even two wk supply. Hey if you think that freezing food harms the nutrients etc, it is dead easy to make up 3days or so of food and keep it in the fridge. This multi billion dollar industry is only there, because they literally feed into the consumers desire for what is fast and easy to feed, the consumers belief which has been marketed to, that kibble is the best way to feed your dog. Some of us are old enough to remember a time when there was very little kibble around, only canned dog food, and most folks fed their dogs from table scraps or some combo of canned and table scraps. I don't know if those dogs were as healthy as the ones we have today. There are no statistics that would show that either way. |
So in the ingredient list, it'll be listed as 'Feather Meal'? or what, 'by-product meal' & not list the 'Feather' @ all?:thumbdown How cwazzie is that! |
Gemy.... right on!!! |
Dog Food Made From Feathers: A Win-Win for Royal Canin - Forbes not a scam here is the full article, Dr. Becker wouldn't publish comments on a scam |

I had no idea my mars bar had feathers in it either hahaha |
Quote:
Agree, substituting proteins that are natural to a dog's diet with treated feathers to me is not at all encouraging and the fact there is no meat in the food, why don't you feed your dog plastic bags and shoe laces |

Absolutely Gemy, my friend is vegan, but after what she has seen with a few of us in our little Yorkie group who feed our dogs a raw diet, she's decided to start cooking for her Gracie instead of kibble |
I see it from another side having a dog who is at the end of the available proteins on the planet. This food was recommended for her. I contemplated it, but don't think she will do well on it because it is not hydrolyzed. I am opting for another solution which has kept her well and she's already outlived her prognosis by 7 years now. I didn't read the article because I saw who wrote it. Home cooking is great but few do it correctly. |
