Help!! I need moral support. I * might* have gotten a bit cranky at my vet this morning. Okay… I definitely did. She gave me a couple cans of Royal Canin canned Diabetic formula to try on Duffy. (Picky Eater!). I looked at the ingredients and saw, in order, water sufficient for processing, pork by-products, wheat gluten, something about corn…
That’s when I handed the cans back to her and said no thanks. I said I am suspicious of by-products and Duffy is too picky anyway. She said Royal Canin by-products are the heart, liver, and other nutritious organs. I said some variation of, “Poppycock!” and she seemed to be a bit hurt by my tone. No bad language or raised voice but I was very stubborn.
Is that a decent food???
