boxagirl Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Actually eat! She has trouble eating normal biscuits because of the shape of her mouth... there just ends up being a big mess everywhere. Does anyone know what RC is like? and what the pricings are? I think Im going to give this a try :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavsRcute Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) I have used RC Hypoallergenic and found it to be ideal for my Cavalier. You will find it more expensive but i don't use as much because it appears to be " denser", so it works out OK in the long run. I also supplement with veges, sardines and bones Edited because I can't put a sentence together! Edited November 5, 2005 by CavsRcute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Royal Canin is one of the super premium foods, because of that you won't need to feed as much etc, but it is priced much the same as the other super premium foods. Also check with your petshop as they'll let you know if they do the frequent buyer cards. I know people here who use the lab food but i don't know anyone as yet who uses the Boxer food, although i have seen what it's like and my GSD loves it when i nab a sample pack for him It really is a nifty shape..lol Have you gotten a sample of it yet? if not jump onto the RC website and email the rep in your state and they should be able to send you a sample, or let you know when a promoter will be in a petshop in your area, from which you'll be able to get a sample from. If worse comes to worse let me know and i'll nab you a sample and send it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinHound Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hey Boxagirl If you don't already have it the WA rep is Narelle Wright you can email her on [email protected] Alternatively Kitkat or myself would be happy to get a sample for you and send over (the Qld Rep lives 5mins from me) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 My friend has started feeding it to her Brachy pup and is raving about it. Royal Canin also seem to have a really good policy aswell, they know their product is good and dont seem to ram it down peoples throats. I think it's buy 10 bags get one free? I believe it's about $120 per bag. Im thinking of doing the switch aswell, I was given some samples and the dogs wolfed them down as though they were treats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxagirl Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Thanks for the replies everyone Apparently Bondi has cravings for biscuits my sister fed the dogs tonight and Bondi got into the biscuit container and was eating them (which she never usually does!) and everytime my sister walked back into the room Bondi would turn her head away as to say "Im not eating them" Im emailing for a sample now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Have tried this food with a few boxers - they love it! Have used RC for a number of years now for all my dogs, wouldn't use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thooder Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi there, I've had a little trouble feeding my new little Rottie rescue Tallulah as she was pretty spoiled in her previous foster home (better than not spoiled at all!!). She won't touch Eukanuba (which I have fed to all my Rots over the past 8 years) but LOVES LOVES LOVES Royal Canin. Eats it dry with no enticement. I've switched. I'm donating the Euks to Friends of the Pound down in Tweed. Thooder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampa Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I'll be having probs when I get my family home to Australia... At present I feed them a cheap food "Royal Canine Selection7 " which doesn't exist at home... It is a dry food that you must add boiling water to before feeding, then I add some minced beef to make it yummy (it still had a good protein level though, despite the mushy appearance)... The RC boxer food gives my boxer a seedy tummy although he is very fragile in the intestines due to severe worm damage when I found him starving and attached to a lamp post with an electric extention lead around his neck... Any "normal" boxers therefore may not react so badly... Royal Canine "sensitive" is better for my boxer, but gives cystitis to my Dogo cross (along with ANY other dry food). My third doggy eats anything though the top quality foods, even in tiny quantities makes her gain enormous amounts of weight I know in the long run it's not good, but the only feed that suits everybody is the cheapest one, non-existant in Australia... Does anyone know of a similar type of "soup" that I could feed them once I'm home ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxagirl Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I just recieved my free sample of RC and I'm very impressed :rolleyes: even though Bondi hasn't tried it yet. It came with 10 free samples! and a royal canin dog bowl and RC vouchers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NalaCleo Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 My Boxer is not only fussy but also has a sensitive stomach and it wasn't til she was about 2 1/2 years old that I finally got her to a healthy weight and nice firm stools. The only biscuits i have found for her that I am happy with are Eukanuba Maintenance and what she is currently on which is Science Diet Sensitive Stomach which she will eat alone as is :rolleyes: BUT it looks like I will be emailing RC in Sydney tomorrow to try this particular one !!!!!!!!

boxagirl Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Bondi LOVES it! She could actually eat it! and didnt spit one biscuit out or leave bikkies all over the floor for once! I couldn't believe it! I'll be sticking with RC/BARF combo I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witheverythingiam Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I also would like to try RC with my Boxer. I e-mailed the Qld rep last night, but as yet haven't heard anything. Will have to wait & see what happens... -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
