Best available food for Chocolate labrador puppy

Hi Ajinkya!
I have done some research myself and here is what I got regarding Royal Canin:
http://eng.royalcanin.com/roya l-canin/our-values/food-safety -and-quality

The quality is definitely the best possible. All the nutrients they use in their foods are actually suitable for human beings. They talk about nutrients and not ingredients actually, which might be confusing. Because we, human beings, do not eat bones, it does not mean that you can not find good nutrients inside it, good for men as well as for dogs.

See, what dogs needs are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, fatty acids etc. Royal Canin uses these nutrients as per the dogs' needs - hence a special formula for Labradors for example, or for different sizes at different ages.

I hope this will help you make up your mind!!
All the best for Eion!

You may want to look at the questions, comments and links posted by me elsewhere on this website. Also, do have a look at www.shopyourworld.com. It is horrendously expensive though.

Royal Canin doesn't sell the same product they do in the US. I got their mini puppy 33 and was shocked to see the ingredients were'nt the same as their US product which contains rice and some other better ingredients. I even mailed asking them why they sold us products containing maize when India was one of the largest producers of rice, while US which is the largest producer of maize gets the product containing rice. They wrote back but their answers were'nt satisfactory. So much for their double standards.
