Royal Canin

Ingredients: Chicken meal, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid), rice, corn gluten meal, corn, chicken, natural chicken flavor(why if there is enough real chicken in there??), wheat gluten, beet pulp (sugar removed), dried brewers yeast, salmon oil, dried egg powder, soya oil, pea fiber, fructo-oligosaccharides, potassium chloride, calcium sulfate, sodium silico aluminate, DL-methionine, choline chloride, L-lysine, sodium chloride, sodium tripolyphosphate, taurine, Vitamins [dl-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C*), niacin, biotin, riboflavin (vitamin B2), d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid], Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate].
correct me if I am wrong anyone!!
After speaking to a few manufacturers, I have discovered that if a product has a highenough meat content, then Taurine should not need to be added as it will occur naturally as it would in the wild.Taurine is essential to a cats well being. Depending on where you are there should be a variety of good wholesome foods. A cat living naturally in the wild would have a mainly carnivorous diet and would not eat corn and grain products. Most of which are really bad for the cats intestinal tract.
Anything with corn in is not what I would call a quality food. Corn and wheat are used as cheap fillers so they have to put less of the more expensive ingredients in and can still charge a premium product price.

I was struggling but found an organic human grade quality kibble. My local store buys it in now and it prices up cheaper than all the regularly bought foods science hills, iams royal canin etc, DO NOT touch anything by whiskas or purina as they are made from animal derivatives. (don't get me started on those!!)

anyway I will stop ranting!
