I didn't want to Jack a thread so I'll start this one to ask what you guys think of this Royal Canin Food since I see they were part of the 2007 recall thing for tainted food?
Their new vet suugested, an I started them both on the stuff. Harlee's on the Calorie Control and Calvin's on the Gastro Intestinal Low Fat canned food.
Thanks,
Pops

Royal Canin recalled products on April 20, 2007 due to the presence of a melamine derivative in the rice protein concentrate in some of its dry pet food products. Since then, they have been very diligent in the testing of every batch of food made, and there has been no more incidents.
In gerneral, this incident was a wakeup call for the entire dog food industry.

What is the first ingredient on the list?
We tried several brands on our rescue Lab and have settled on Simply Nourish. He seems to like it and actually eats it without throwing up.

Aqua Suficient para el procesamiento .... .... 
Sorry, reading the wrong side of the can! .... 
Taking Harlee off the Hill's r/d and trying her on;
Calorie Control: Water sufficient for processing, pork by-products, chicken liver, etc., etc....
We finally got Calvin eating again with the Royal Canin, and so far "knocking on wood" not throwing up with;
Gastro Intestinal Low Fat: Water sufficient for processing, pork by-products, etc., etc.....
He does take Pepsid and benadryl twice a day now though!

Harlee's real particular regarding her food (actually her Poop is particular on what she eats as well). Although the vet suggested that I consider putting Harlee on Royal Canin as well, cept different formula then Calvin. I really didn't want to switch her, but she started to go for Calvin's bowl during feeding time (which is something the both don't do unless the other one is done eating. You know lick whatever that's not left over ...LOL). So I bought a case a few days ago, and since I have a container left of the r/d. I'm mixing the Royal Canin with the r/d, and she loves the stuff. Poops been good too!

Good morning
Glad to hear Calvin is doing better. Our Cocker 'biker buffy' is on the Royal canin food due to food allergies. Seems like she is allergic to most regular food all of a sudden. It works well (she loves the stuff and NO vomiting) but is a little expensive. I've read that their quality control is excellent so we'll see since She'll probably be on it the rest of her life. I also like having her poop be hard little black turds. Makes picking them up very easy.
