Question 1

Is this food real small bites? Pedigree small bites is still a little big for my Xohi's mouth.

Accepted Answer

The nuggets are small, but I do not know how small Pedigree bites are, so cannot compare. I buy it for my largish Chihuahua (about 9 lbs) and she is comfortable with the size of the nuggets. It's the only dry dog food she likes. You might want to try moistening the food with a little warm water so it is softer for your dog. If Xohi still finds it too big, you can also try placing the nuggets between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and then pound them with a meat tenderizer mallet, bottom of a fry pan or even a heavy can. Just pound them enough to break them up into smaller pieces for Xohi (not too much that you end up with powder!). I have done this with other small dogs and they then can eat the smaller broken up pieces just fine. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Do you feel good about the first ingredient being Corn?  I thought this was a high quality food?

Accepted Answer

I asked my vet about this very thing. He informed me that a digestibility analysis is performed on all Royal Canine food’s ingredients and that RC is an excellent dog food, surpassing the industry standards.  My second question related to allergies, and he responded that he’d been to a diet seminar as part of his continuing education, and of the common dog food ingredients analyzed by the seminar leaders, corn was lower on the “allergen risk” list than wheat, and evidently wheat was fairly low on the risk list, ranking around number seven. He didn’t really elaborate about the first six allergens, but assured me that RC’s dog food is a great choice.

Question 3

Is it manufactured in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Royal Canin says made in USA, the picture on here shows the ingredients in SPANISH because seller does NOT want people to figure out that CORN is first ingredient and used to be chicken. MAZE is Spanish for corn, sneaky deceptive sellers try a 1.5 pound bag of "I and Love and You Dog Dehydrated - In the Raw" chicken, $22 and prime shipping if have that. been feeding to Chihuahuas for a year and they are more excited over this than any other dog food, can also get it at Sprouts Market. can make up a few days supply and re-fridge it for on hand. Can also mix in when serve it a little bit of real chicken and rice if want to
