A close -up of pet food …

According to the ingredient list, the above four ingredients are the only food ingredients included in this pet food (the remaining are supplements). Rice is listed as the first ingredient – which tells us (per pet provisions) is rice the heaviest ingredient in the food (contains more rice in weight than any other ingredient).
The Royal Canin website makes no claims that pet food is human class, It is a cooking of pets.
And the cost?
Per Chewy.com sells a case of seven 14.1 ounces bags for $ 70.12.
Or…$ 0.72 per ounce.
How compares the cost of Mars Petcare Royal Canin's new fresh/cooked food quality pet food with a fresh/boiled pet food?
Also available on chewy.com is human class pet food just food fork; 100% human edible ingredients (including supplements) and are manufactured in a licensed human food facility.
Chicken is listed as the first ingredient in the Just Food Fork product, which means that chicken is the heaviest ingredient (contains more chicken in weight than any other ingredient).
The cost of this human quality pet food – $ 76.99 for a case of seven 18 ounces bags.
Or…$ 0.62 per ounce.
For $ 0.10 less per ouncePet owner could give their pet a pet food for human quality (instead of a pet food in feed).
Both Royal Canin and Justfoodfordogs have veterinarians on the staff, both brands have carried out pet food research and both brands have carried out feeding attempts.
Look at these two fresh pet food side by side:

Two points:
- “Fresh” does not guarantee ingredients for human quality.
- Price does not correspond to ingredients for human quality and manufacturing.
Before you trust your pet's life with a pet food, do your homework.
