Is Royal Canin or Taste of the Wild dog food better for my dog?

Question

What is your opinion of Taste of the Wild? A lot of people don't seem to like it, but it's made in the US and seems to have better ingredients than other brands I've seen. My vet recommends Royal Canin, but the 2nd ingredient is a by-product so I don't trust it anymore. Any tips? Thanks in advance! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 17 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Skye. Personally, I agree with your veterinarian. Royal Canin is a superior product to Taste of the Wild. They have many veterinarians on staff to formulate their diets and out extensive research into their foods. Taste of the Wild seems to spend a ton of money on advertising. There is a lot of misinformation regarding pet foods. By-products are not lower quality ingredients. For example, if a wolf in the wild kills a moose to eat, it does not eat the skeletal muscle of the limbs first. It eats the internal organs as.these have a higher concentration of nutrients. I recently had a chance to speak with an ecologist at a university on this very topic. By-products are typically organ meat. Bottom line though, you need a food that works for your individual dog. I hope this information helps!
