Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 8.6 lbs

My dog currently is eating Fromm's adult dog food and doesn't mind it but only will eat it if she's really hungry. When we go to visit my mothers house, she eats Royal Canin. I know Fromm food is healthier and better but is royal canin still healthy for her? What are the bad and good things about it?

Royal canin is a quality food very well balanced nutritionally and with very good results clinically. It would ny preferred range for taste/acceptance, overall nutritional balance and digestibility. It is guaranteed to be a fixed formula so every bag is identical whereas some brands will vary batch by batch using cheapest ingredients each time
