Talking Royal Canin "Sensiable Choice" Vs... Eagle Pack

Hi all, I hope everyones day is going good! But to my questions. I am currently feeding my dogs Royal Canin Sensiable Choice. They are doing great on it shiny coats and all around happy dogs, they also love the taste. Well we were at a small privatly owned feed store the other day We go there to get goodies leashed etc. We buy our food elsewhere. The women who owns it came up and was talking to us about Zeke our rescent rescue Rott. She said he was skinny and that he need to gain weight (He needs to ghain about 20lbs or so) Then she asked me what I fed him and I told her. Then she completly and totaly beliddled me telling me it was a horriable food and she is this great nutrionast I should not feed them it and how horriable I am for feeding it! I was not only mad at this point I was also upset by the way she conducted herself at me I like my food and I think it is a good food. I have researched it and it seems like an excelent food. Plus one of my dogs has and irratable stomach and not very many foods agree with him and mine does. So she says I should try Eagle Pack foods. I am really not sure what to think at this point. I was just curious if any of you have tried it and how it is. I want what is best for my dogs price is not an issue. Thanks in advance for all of your help. So it was so long

She is just trying to keep you in her store. Rule of thumb.. If your dogs are doing well on it, why change a good thing, I had to put weight on my pup with royal canine, so I added alittle more food. And volla a happy healthy 85 pounder at 8 months. Go with your gut, do not always listen to a stranger. I personally would try an extra cup a day... divided in 2, see if that helps.

Eagle Pack is a good food...so is the Royal Canin. If you are happy with the food why change it?? I suspect she was trying to keep you in the store and get you to buy the food.

If anyone ever spoke to me like that I would hightail it outta there and never go back....she would have lost my business 100%!

I too feed the Sensible Choice and have been very pleased with the results. In fact, the feed store I buy my food from, highly reccomended Sensible Choice OVER Eagle Pack. The store I go to happens to sell both! Go figure!

THanks guys for the advice I think I am going to stay with the senisable Choice I like it, and the dogs love it. I doubt I will return to that store for awhile.
