| 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!

| I thought that may be the case..I have been told by some that it is a good food with no fillers such as wheat or corn etc..i'm just wondering if they do the kibble in the tiny bite size as Pixie has such a tiny mouth!

| 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. |

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