Why not Royal canin? I see so many threads about feeding and people saying they wouldn't feed Royal canin...just wondered why people do not seem to have a good word to say about it, I have been feeding Pixie RC (mini Junior) and she seems fine on it, healthy skin, coat and good weight for her size, her breeder feeds it too and she shows at crufts every year, her dogs certainly look fantastic on it! was just curious to know why...am i feeding a bad food?:( My Staffordshire Bull Terrier is on James Wellbeloved. |

It has been known to cause extreme itchiness in Yorkies. If you type Royal Canin in the "Search", you will see what I mean. There is way too much corn in it. It is way overpriced for a cheaply made food. |
Why would you want to feed something like RC when there are foods that are so much better? That's my question. Sure, it's better than things like Iams and Purina, but there are other foods that a lot better with a lot less fillers. Especially for the same or even less! |

Chachi got the itchies when he ate royal canin |
Since you live in the UK, you are probably thinking of the original Royal Canin made years ago in your country. It was excellent food, about the best you could buy before all the premium food we now have on the market came out. It was hard to find in the US, though. When Waltham bought the right to market it over here, they changed the recipe and added cheap fillers like corn. The upscale boutiques that used to carry Royal Canin stopped carrying it. It's now just an over priced mediocre quality food. You can probably still get the "real" Royal Canin over there. |

Like what Ellie May said, what works for you might not work for others. |
I have just looked at the ingredients in the RC Mini Junior, heres whats listed: Dehydrated poultry meat Rice animal fats maize gluten beet pulp Hydrolysed animal proteins poultry proteins minerals vegetable fibres yeast soya oil fish oil Fructo-oligo-saccharides (whatever that is!):p egg powder DL-methionine:confused: Taurine marigold extract Average Analysis: protein 33%- Fat 20%-ash 5.5%-fibre 2.2% what do you think? :confused: |

I think they need to name their animals and not just say "animal fats". They should do the same for their poultry. |
