A lot recommend royal canin but the first ingredients are chicken by product, wheat and corn. It's rated 2.5 on dog food advisor. How is this good? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | 4 months and 24 days old

As a regular food I would never recommend Royal Canin. As you pointed the ingredients are not the best, especially when compared to food such as Blue Buffalo and Orijen. Unfortunately sometimes a dog or cat need a prescription diet for a specific condition. Those conditions can greatly benefits from those special diets and Royal Canin is one of the best in that area.
