Royal Canin 1

I can't stand Marketing lies, as said before, but now it is worse. Their latest report about corn being good for dogs is a bunch of dog poo (literally). Anyone with knowledge about dog nutrition would know DOGS ARE CARNIVORES. If you haven't read it, here is the report, their attempt to make corn look like a good ingredient. Look up this file, Corn_in_Pet_Food.pdf.

What is worse is maybe they believe their food is good. I'm not a vet, nor a nutritionist, but a independent dog food retailer. I learn everything from my customers to holistic vets that actually know what they are talking about.

I could argue that corn is more economical, but not in this food. Their prescription diets cost more then most of my foods I sell and they are still pretty bad.

"Corn contains 80% Carbohydrates a great source of energy" - CARBS FEED CANCER PEOPLE

ASK YOURSELF THIS; WHAT DOES A WILD DOG EAT? DOES IT STOP AT THE CORN FIELD AND KNAWING ON AN EAR OF CORN?

ANOTHER THING TO WATCH OUT FOR

ASK YOUR VET WHAT NUTRITION EDUCATION HE/SHE HAS. WHY? Most I repeat Most only receive a course about nutrition paid by HILLS, PURINA, or ROYAL. A very narrow minded course.

Its true, as a vet I can honestly say that the dr's i work with are not very in tune with pet nutrition as most would like to believe- most, if any, of there nutrition education comes from the paid staff lunches of royal canin or hills representitives. I have to say though that this concept of dogs, wolves, etc being obligate omnivores is false. Having graduated from UC Davis with an emphasis on companion animal nutrition i can tell you that wolves ive observed in the wild will eat anything from berries to grassland grains. The simple truth is that most people posting on these blogs know little to nothing about the real requirements of what an animal needs and thus make assumptions on what a "quality diet" should be.
