Food & NutritionHi! Bianca has severe hip dysplasia and was recommended Royal Canin Mobility JS. She currently eats raw and I was always against kibble, especially RC ones because the ingredients makes no sense compared to something like Orijen. Is Royal Canin reall
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, Royal canin and Hills are far superior to the boutique brands like Orijen which market to the pet owner and not the dog. Royal canine and Hill's have veterinary nutritionists that formulate their diets unlike the boutique brands that use cookie cutter recipes. The dog food label has to be written a certain way based on the dry vs wet weights of ingredients. It is a huge misconception out there regarding pet food labels. An example of consumer misconception is the grain free fad has now resulted in dogs eating taurine deficient foods that have cause dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure due to the legumes used to replace grain. You can continue to feed your preferred diet and supplement with glucosamines and Omega 3 if you feel more comfortable. Have a good day!
