Thanks!

                I feel better about my RC. It's a minor part of their diet, but I don't feed them the hypoallergenic dog food that's made from feathers .I researched the science behind the hydrolyzed hypo-allergenic foods when I had a dog with issues, so I understand some of that.

                I misunderstood, and thought that the contention was that their chicken meal is made of feathers.

Thanks for clearing that up :)

p.s. My feral cats often eat worms...

OMG, it's true.  Chicken feathers!  And they are researching worm meal too!  http://www.forbes.com/sites/marcbabej/2013/05/29/dog-food-made-from-feathers-a-win-win-for-royal-canin/  I'm so glad I was never that impressed with Royal Canin to begin with.

no research, just an interview with the ceo and he said well it is protein.


i like the wellness turkey mostly because that is one T hey will eat.  they also like Blue Buffalo duck and turkey.  NO ONE LIKES CHICKEN NO MATTER WHAT THE BRAND.  BEEF IS SO, SO AND FISH JUST SITS THERE UNTIL I THROW IT OUT.  UNLESS I GET CANNED MACKERAL FOR HUMANS>  THAT WE LOVE BECAUSE IT IS STINKY. 
I SWITCHED TO BLUE BUFFALO BECAUSE OF THE GRAIN ISSUE.  WHEN I DID THAT, ALL THE UP CHUCKING STOPPED, SO NOW, I LOOK FOR GRAIN FREE, MEAT FIRST INGREDIENTS.
