How would you say these 2 foods compare,Eagle Pack and Royal Canin 24.There is a few of us having a dicussion regarding these foods.Thanks and PLEASE DO RESPOND

Sorry about that,I forgot to say that its the Eagle Pack Large Breed Adult

Eagle pack, never used it, RC a lot of people are quite happy with RC, I just don't like the meat content, and fat being little bit too high on the ingridiants list. I just looked up Eagle pack, pretty much the same thing, so I guess which ever work better for you. I don't see that much differeance between the two products.

Does'nt it seem to you that the EP has more meat content in it?By the way I again forgot to mention that its THE HOLISTIC SELECT LINE
by snajper69 on 08 October 2008 - 14:10
What I don't like to see where it say, Brown Rice, and another ingridiants next to it white rice, so you can assume that Rice is a major content in this food. I like holistic foods, but I usually use it for puppies. As well I like to give raw few days a week to meet other needs that they might have.

Yes it is but is down the list once you remove the water in order to obtain dry product it goes way down. :) I am pretty surre rice is the major ingridiant in that food :). You want more meat go with Orijen and food like that :) other than those most of them are not too high on meats. :)
At least not enough to make a difference. You comparing pretty much the same products, they too close to call it. Best guide to see which one is better is compare how the two dogs on the food compare look wise to each other.

By the way I am saying it is a hard call because I seen dogs on both, and they look great, eyes don't lie :)
RC been proved to work, many breeders, and regular people are using it and it works for them, they stand strong by it, I used it myself, and still using it on one of my females. There is no sience in this, some things just work and some things don't if you dog looks healthy and happy than you know it works. If it has issues than look for something else, maybe grain free?
In my opinon the bigest problem is we people change the damn food too often, we alwas want to or need to try something else. Stick to what works for you and don't get to scientific about it :).

If these two were my only choices, I think I'd go with the Eagle Pack, only because of the slightly lower fat % and all the trace ingredients include more antioxidants and digestive enzyme type additives. Wow, they are pretty close though huh? If I had dogs with dry coats or were very lean I might change my mind. My senior boy is watching his figure and my girl puts on weight easily, so for 'my' dogs I'd lean toward the EP.

Guys,how can they be as you say close when one is using "soy isolate" as the other protein source and a bit of egg powder and the EP has meats as the protein source.I do like the fact that the RC has more fat but that DOES NOT HELP when the dogs are NOT eating it.
