    I've been using Canidae grain-free for 3 years both the dry food with a couple tablespoons of the Canidae wet food. My black lab is healthy, strong and he loves it. His coat is beautiful. Our vet is against us giving him grain-free food so we are in the process of switching to one that's not. I will not switch from Canidae because it's such a good product. I'm thankful they have other options for us.

    Canidae is like human grade and it tastes human grade too. The dog really likes it. She is a Cavalier King Charles. She’s eight and when we got her, she was six. She has four teeth which is the other reason we got this food because it’s soft. It’s hard for her to eat the crunchier stuff. Canidae contributes to my pet's well-being pretty well. She's healthy.

    I have a yellow Labrador and since he was a puppy, he has only had the Canidae chicken and rice. I went to my local pet store and I talked with them. They were the ones who recommended it so, I trusted them. Canidae was the most traditional, and chicken and rice seemed like it was easy. I just took that one flavor, and I have not strayed from it. I’ve been purchasing Canidae for six years and we’ve had no issues. At our local store, if we buy 12 bags, there’s a bag free and I like that. It keeps me coming back because I wanna make sure I get my free bag.

    I would hear about fillers and all the other byproducts that they put into dog food. Since I haven’t tried any of those, I’m fearful that if I do, it would upset my dog’s stomach. Canidae contributes to my pet’s consistent health. Since I don't switch anything and stay on that brand, he’s a healthy dog. He never had to go to the emergency room and anything that he ever had to go to a doctor for was nothing to do with eating his food. I would recommend Canidae Pet Foods to a friend.

    I went to a website that graded food products and Canidae was graded really high there. In fact, it was the highest grade product that was available. I've been using it since 2012 for my standard poodle and it's all he's ever eaten. So, he's been an overall healthy dog. I’ve also recommended Canidae to others.

    I went to my store and we had a discussion about nutrition for food. Canidae came up and I've been buying it for at least five years. It was for my dog. But he's no longer with us. I kept the same food because the dog we have now is very healthy on it. Micky is a 19-pound poodle. He was a rescue and he’s great. He's 13 years of age. I buy the Canidae with salmon because I like salmon and it is good for you. It is extremely valuable to feed my dog natural ingredients. The only problem with Canidae was they had a problem with the cans and they couldn't stock it for a while.

    After talking to a lot of people and vets and having a bad experience with other food, like very ill dogs I decided to get Canidae for my dogs. I have a black lab kind of maybe collie mix, and a yorkie-chihuahua mix who are 11 years old. Originally, they were on the regular variant, and then I put them on the food for less active dogs because they were getting a little fat, being old and not doing much. But they are healthy now and lost weight. The illness stopped immediately after I start feeding them Canidae. I recommend it.

    It's very important for us to be feeding our pets natural ingredients. When we decided to go to dry food, we had a couple of dogs at the time. Canidae was for all stages of life so we picked that. It had ingredients like chicken. We've been using the brand for 10 years now. We had a Boston Jack Russell but it passed away last year. We had a 13-year-old dog too. The Boston Terrier is what we have now and Canidae keeps his weight normal.

    We have a Terrier and a Mini Dachshund. We tried another brand for a while, but one of the dogs didn’t take it well. We wound up switching and came to Canidae Pet Foods. We use the multi-protein formula - the chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish. The dogs liked that flavor better than all the other ones. We've been using them for about a year and find feeding our pets with natural ingredients to be very valuable.

    I got interested in finding dog food with less additives and grain-free dog food when I had a miniature schnauzer named Huckleberry Finn that lost a battle with diabetes. Canidae had a lot of available products to help with senior dogs and healthy living dogs. I went with them and the food helped my dog. However, Huckleberry Finn could not get his sugar stabilized.

    Apart from him, I also have a 16-year-old rat terrier, Tom Sawyer, who is a less active senior dog. Canidae has really good doses of glucosamine for his joints and arthritis. Changing his diet has allowed him to have a healthy life in his golden years. He still gets up every morning and wants to go on a walk. And every evening he wants to go on a walk too. We’re slowing down but he still wants to go and he’s able to make a 10-minute walk. I get my Canidae from Pet Supplies Plus, and they have a program through which after I get 12 bags, I get the 13th free. I really like that. Initially, I used the All Ages Dog Food variant and now I've been purchasing the Less Active Senior Dog Food. Overall, Canidae has really helped my senior dog have a very good life.

    We have two Lab mixes, one is brown and the other one is black. One of them is almost 17 and he has food sensitivity issues. She couldn't hold down most other brands as she would throw up. Canidae is one of the only foods she can eat, and so it’s a big deal. We needed to go with something that was grain-free, and so we identified a couple of different things and tried them out. We settled on PURE Sky, and that became the one we were using and worked well for her. It also keeps her lean. She doesn’t get overweight. She’s not getting a whole bunch of extra filler, and her hair is healthy.

    I have a Great Dane bloodhound mix, and one of the salespeople in the store where I was buying the food that I used to feed her thought that Canidae was a better quality product. I stuck with the grain-free Canidae and my dog loves it. I've gone through different flavor options with her and she's liked them all. When I was using the Taste of the Wild, my mother's dog would come and visit, and didn't have any interest in eating it. Now that I've switched to Canidae, her dog loves the food.

    I have Small Munsterlanders, one is 15 and the other is 4, and the vet recommended Canidae when our dog was just a pup. When our old guy was young, he was very temperamental to what he would eat. He would get sick or loose stool and Canidae seems to work. I buy the All Stages brand style normally. I've been doing it for 15 years and I don't even think about it. It's just what I buy. But they changed the bag that it comes in. This new plastic stuff is kinda hard to open. Also, there was a UPC that has to be cut off and after you save like 12 of them, you would get a free bag but it's not like that anymore. Other than that, Canidae is what the dogs are used to and I have no complaints about Canidae.

    I had two little Shih Tzus and Canidae was the main food I used all the time. Both of them lived on it for 15 years before they passed. So I feel the food is excellent because that helped keep them healthy. I also liked their coupon where if I got however many little emblems then I got a free bag. Canidae is a little bit more expensive but as long as I got a free bag, I always kind of floated out of the store thinking it was quite a gift. I used to very much like the pet store in Kalamazoo. They were always very friendly to me when I would go there and buy the food. But I live outside of Kalamazoo now so that was rather difficult. Not every place sells Canidae. I’ve recently changed but I would still use it occasionally. It just depends if I’m in Kalamazoo. I got new pets now, a Havanese and a Shih Tzu, and they are roughly three years old. I keep their food mixed on purpose because I know you’re not supposed to change their food from one to the other.

    I trusted that the breeder was using a good food and since the puppy was already eating Canidae, I didn't want to give my dog grocery store feed stuff. I’ve recommended Canidae as well and I like that the food was the All Life Stages. When I got my last puppy, the vet recommended giving adult food because puppy food makes their limbs grow too fast. Sometimes, that can cause problems when they get older. It can lead to arthritis. I have a Golden Retriever so I like the All Life Stages part about Canidae too because I assumed, and I think rightfully so, that it wasn’t gonna make him grow too fast but was gonna give him everything he needed as a puppy.

    Stanley is seven now and we did switch to the Platinum at one point because we were concerned about his weight, and that has maintained his weight just fine. So I think it’s a good product. It's excellent to feed your pet natural ingredients and that’s why Canidae is a more expensive brand but you get what you pay for and I don’t mind that at all.

    Ever since our dog was 3 months old, we used Canidae. We gave him some several choices and that’s what he went with. He’s a real tiny Pom. He weighs eight pounds. He was doing the All Stage, the hard, and then he went to the Senior, and then about two and a half years ago, he got to where he wasn’t eating it. So, we had to mix some wet food with it, and then he got to where he wasn’t eating it again. So, I’d taken him completely off of Canidae.

    It is a good dog food, he just stopped eating it. He has problems chewing hard food. He can hardly chew hard food. I had to break it up in really tiny pieces for him to eat it. I could’ve given him the canned soft food, but he had to use it within three days and for what I was giving him, I was throwing more away than I was using. If Canidae was to make a smaller can, I would’ve still had him on the wet food. But I couldn’t afford to buy a can and have to throw half of it away. Their price was getting a little expensive. But I would recommend Canidae to anybody. It is one of the top 5 dog food.

So, a it's trial and error and just sticking with the top premium dog food.

    Canidae has always been solid for me. I feed it to a Chihuahua, a Pug and a Brittany Spaniel. They don’t throw up and they don’t have diarrhea. They’re not overweight but they over ate. So, it has contributed in the factor of a healthy lifestyle. I usually get the yellow bag, which is the chicken, mostly because that’s the one that’s mostly in stock at stores in bigger bags. So, I just stuck with it but I switch that every once in a while. I wouldn’t change even on times where I might have a lesser paycheck or struggle. The pet is a member of the family so, So, I’m not gonna go and get a $12 bag of whatever from Stop & Shop because I can’t or because I’m a little tight on cash so it’d be something else.

    I have a little Papillon and the cat is a domestic Shorthair. Canidae has been so great for both of them. Each of my pets are 12 and they’re ancient. They’re little geriatrics and they had upset stomachs with all the other brands. So, we switched over to Canidae and they’ve not had any of the stomach upsets. Canidae uses fresh ingredients and not a lot of grains. We wanted the best for the animals and feeding them natural ingredients are important. I only eat good food so they should eat good food. I’m not gonna have a bunch of trash in my cat food and dog food, because that’s gonna cost more vet bills. They get kidney infections and urinary tract infections, and it’s not like they get good insurance or anything if they have preexisting condition, which is ridiculous. Canidae has kept my pets young. It has contributed quite a bit.

    Canidae has educated all the checkout people at PetSmart. So, they’re very passionate about the food as well, and that has been really neat. I get “thank-yous” from the checkout because they are thankful that I’m buying the food so that I care about my pet.

    My dogs seem to like Canidae. It is a high-end food, and the price is a little high. I have one of my other dogs on another brand that is as high-quality, and I mix it with Canidae. My other dog, Wrigley, has allergies so she is on a strict Canidae diet. He used to eat Pinnacle Trout & Sweet Potato, and they went to the complete west coast strictly. So, they don't deliver up here anymore. I got forced to switch to another food and Canidae was the closest ingredient to that with everything that my dog needed. If Canidae wasn’t so expensive, I would buy more of it. But if it ends up going up any higher, then I’m gonna look at another brand.

    I put my dog food in a bin, and you can definitely see the difference between the two dog foods. Wrigley’s bin is not greasy, but the other bin is greasy. One thing that I don't like about Canidae is that because it is so pure, a couple times I’ve gotten bags of food and opened them up, it was all powder. It must have been the bag on the bottom and it gets crushed. The community store also said that there’s nothing in it to preserve this type of things to keep it from not doing that. But they did reimburse and we brought back the food.

I use the All Life Stages Premium since my dogs are now nine and eleven and they’re getting older. It seems to work the best. They’re not as active as they used to be but they look and act great. The vets always rant about how healthy they are and they have always told me that Canidae was a great product.

We've had pretty good luck with it and haven't had any problems aside from getting kinda tired of it.

    I was looking for a grain-free type of product and Canidae was initially a recommendation from our veterinarian. I've been purchasing Canidae for 5 years now and we’re feeding them to our 2 dogs that are both mixed breed. We get the Platinum formula, which is for older dogs, and it’s less fattening. It’s not as much as they were natural as to where one does organic products, but we wanna eliminate the extra grains in our dogs' food. Hopefully, Canidae provides good nutrition. I’m satisfied and it's been a positive experience.

    We were using Eukanuba, but Eukanuba had a recall. We decided to try and change. My husband's a research scientist and he did an exhaustive research about foods and contents. We went with Canidae and I love the food. We have six Great Danes and I'm feeding the grain free Pure Sky to the boy. And on the girls, right now, they're on Life Stages, the orange bag.

    One thing I am disappointed about Canidae though is they had a large breed puppy food, which was fantastic. And we raised one whole litter on it. And then they quit making it. I want healthy ingredients that are good nutrition. I'm not averse to supplementing and putting vitamins or whatever else that I need to, but good healthy food is what I'm looking for. And Great Danes are really touchy as puppies and you gotta be very careful about not overdoing the protein, the calcium, and any of that stuff. And I recommend to all my puppy owners to put them on Canidae.

    I am concerned about the thing that's going off right now about what's causing the heart problems with dog foods. Some people are pointing their finger at grain-free, and yet it's not really proven one way or the other. Canidae has not been in the list of foods to watch out for. But if Canidae can give any feedback on that, I'd appreciate it. Our experience with them has been extremely good because every time we've had a concern, we'd call them. My husband has called them, and they've gotten him to a person who's knowledgeable. And if they don't know the answer to the question he's asking, and he can ask them pretty penetrating questions, they've gotten back to him.

    I used to feed my dogs Purina. Before I got my Pit bull, I had a Rottweiler-Shepherd and she handled any type of kibble. When I got my Pit Bull, my breeder told me, he said, “So, that’s like giving your kid Cheetos every day. Don’t do it.” I had never realized before that how bad it was for them. The breeder said my dog had tummy issues. He couldn’t eat certain foods, and Canidae was the food that agreed with him. So we kept him on it and I've been using it for about 13 years. That dog passed a couple of years ago and now I have another dog that's a Pit Bull and she's also on Canidae. The food is awesome for the dog's coat and with it they're so shiny and pretty.

    I work for a boutique pet retail establishment and I've used Canidae for my dogs for as long as I worked there, about seven years. I've been given free bags, and my pets seem to like it. When we need treats at the house we're a big fan of their grain-free biscuits. As someone that sells their food at the store we’re at, we don't specifically get paid to promote one brand over another. What's good for one dog is not good for another. So sometimes Canidae is right for that dog that's in front of me, and sometimes it's not but in general the ingredients and everything are great. Their packaging changed a whole lot. Probably not the best for the consumers that the packaging always changes. But it's nice and bright and from a marketing standpoint not too bad.

    I have been purchasing Canidae food for my pet for more than eight years. It started when my dog ended up having hepatitis, although she just passed away. My dog got itchiness and ear infections, but all those went away by using the dog food that was better. So, I think it was an allergen in the other food that I gave her. The grain-free was great. I also give Canidae to my other dog. He is a Bulldog-Pit mix and he’ll be seven in May. He is an 85-pound lapdog. I purchase the 44-pound All Stages bag and I’m happy with that. Feeding my pet natural ingredients is really valuable and it is worth it. Their health improves with a better-quality food.

    However, I had a bag of the All Stages and I was finding pieces of food that wasn’t cooked quite in or it wasn’t quite mixed in correctly. It was something I have never seen before. I sent in a sample and took pictures of the bag. The pieces looked like they expanded during the process of cooking and there were odd-looking things in there. I called Canidae and I talked to a girl and she helped me out. She got me a free bag. I’ve never had that happen before, but they took really good care of me when that happened. I like the Frequent Buyer Program, too. It was nice when I got the last UPC code to get a free bag. It saves me a lot of money that way.

My experience with Canidae has been good, so far. I also like Buffalo, but every time I went to the pet food store, they were always out of it so I switched to Canidae, which is always reliable. The pet food store always has it. Plus, its packaging is perfect.

    I've been feeding Canidae to my two Pit bulls for four years now. I chose Canidae base on the reviews that I read. Also, the food is good. I feed my pets the Pure Element flavor because it's grain free. It's very valuable feeding my pets natural ingredients and hopefully, Canidae contributes well to my pet's health.

    I alternate between several different kinds of food and I rotate to Canidae about four times a year. We use it if there is a good price on it or a coupon. I like the ingredients and everything in it and I like to use it, although I like to change to other things as well. I feed Canidae to my puppy and I may have bought some for my cats as well. It depends on when I go to the pet store whatever is reduced in price or gives coupons. Canidae is a good brand, but it is a little pricey for me, so I have to try to get it when it is a bit reduced. Nevertheless, it’s a good product.

    I used to have a pit bull and I used Pedigree. When I was at Best Pets getting dog food, I asked them and everybody recommended Blue Buffalo which I wasn’t fond of. The guy at the place told me to try Canidae and I stuck with it ever since. I have two pit bulls and that’s all I feed them. Right now, they are on All Life Stages formula, the big bag. I actually add another of the bison with that bag. I mix up two bags to make one. Altogether, I’ve been using Canidae for around three and a half years now. It’s a great product. When I had my other pit bull, I was buying a pedigree bag every two weeks. With Canidae, the healthier food, it is roughly a big bag a month I go through for them instead of it being two bags every month. I recommend Canidae to anybody. In fact, a few of my buddies have switched over to Canidae because of how healthy my dogs have been.

    We were using Blue Buffalo a long time ago and the feed store recommended Canidae. I talked to them and they said Canidae was better and a little cheaper. I have been purchasing Canidae for about seven years now and my dogs have been doing well on it and I am happy with it. When I first started feeding it to the Boxer, she was having some problems with the allergies and it probably helped. We are also part of the breeder program, so when we had puppies, it was nice to be able to do the All Life Stages to feed the puppies the same food we fed the adult.

    I have a Great Dane currently and I need to change to the Sky formulation for her, but we only get half of the size bag for the same price. That has been a problem, so I haven’t switched to that yet. Canidae doesn’t make the big bags. They only make the 24-pound bag of the Sky, so it makes it a problem where I will spend double the amount of money and I will have to go to the feed store every other week to get it.

    I know Canidae for grain free, fairly short ingredient list and it fits the bill. I have been purchasing from them for about four years now. I am feeding Canidae to my two dogs. I have a three-year-old Weimaraner and a 10-year-old Labrador. I prefer to use Pure Sky. I am happy to use the bison and the salmon, and the bird one is fine, but they really don’t like the lamb for some reason. The fecal quality always seems good and they have minimal gas events. It also seems like digestion is good. Canidae operates on a high-protein universe and that is the objective they are trying to fulfill. Canidae is good and it smells decent.

    I used to sell Canidae Pet Foods and when I bought my little Yorkie Shih Tzu Terrier Mix 10 years ago, we’ve always fed him a higher brand of dog food. He has always been healthy but he just wasn’t eating his last brand that much. So, I told my wife that I was familiar with Canidae and I was just going to get some for the dog to try. The people at the store told me to start mixing it slowly and my dog has been with Canidae for six years. My dog is just 20 pounds and the only one we ever gave him is the All Stages which was the first one they came up with.

    Given my experience, I recommend Canidae to anybody all the time. A lot of the people in the neighborhood have mutts and they are not gonna spend that kind of money. They’ll buy the cheapest and generic stuff they can and they always say that their dog eats their poop. I told them that is because the dog is not digesting the food. We talked about it and told them that I’ll give them a little sandwich bag to try if they ever wanna try something.

    When I was looking for a puppy, I was asking about the puppies and dogs, and what kind of food they were feeding. I found that one breeder that I specifically liked uses Canidae. We got our dog in 2004 and we started using it. The dog is a female golden retriever. I had a black Lab guide dog that was using it as well. Then I had a golden Lab cross that was using it, and he was also a guide dog. When we started with Canidae, there was only one time we were using whatever the Original was, then I went to the Life Stages for senior dogs. I find feeding my pets with natural ingredients very important. I was very satisfied with Canidae, but I stopped using it in 2017. I just switched because my second guide dog was having trouble with it. My understanding was the one I was on was for less active dogs. But he is an active dog. Calories and fat are important, and I had no other choices.

It's extremely important to feed him natural ingredients and I'm assured that he is not getting any by-products that are unhealthy. Even though it's fairly pricey, it's worth the cost. Canidae has benefited him very well. He was very undernourished and his ribs were sticking out. Now, he's a healthy, beautiful, 82 pounds and has a lot of energy.

    We mated my dog with my friend's dog, and we had puppies. I wanted to find a dog food that was more on natural dog food that I could feed to both the puppy and to my dog. I was looking for something better than the store-bought brands that you would buy from the grocery store. When I saw that Canidae was for all stages of life and the natural ingredients in it, I gave it a try.

    I’ve had hard times where I wasn't able to afford Canidae, and I’ve had to buy the store brands and my dog’s health changed. He was shedding more, and when he was having a bowel movement, it was bigger and smellier. You could tell the difference when he wasn’t on the Canidae dog food. Put him back on the Canidae and his muscle was back up and healthy, and he was energetic. Overall, it keeps him healthier and happier. My experience with Canidae for about eight years has been very good. I’m completely satisfied. I am constantly trying to tell people to quit buying the Purina and brands such as that, and to go order the Canidae. I’ve gotten several people to switch to the Canidae because I think there’s just so much toxins and fillers in the other dog foods that are garbage. It’s like feeding your dog McDonald's every day when you use Purina and Pedigree.

    I started purchasing Canidae when we won the competition that they do in the summer and winter. I've been purchasing it for a year now. Their prices and ingredients are good compared to all the other ones, especially when they started coming out with the Ancestral line. I really enjoy that one, and also the red meat one, which is perfect for my dog. He’s allergic to a whole bunch of different meat proteins, and even then, the Ancestral line has a ton of proteins in it that he can still eat.

    My dog is an American Staffordshire terrier-boxer mix. He weighs about 75 pounds, and he comes up to about my head in height. Feeding my dog with natural ingredients is 100% valuable. Without it, he breaks out in hives and rashes. And so, to keep him healthy, it’s important to have natural ingredients. I would recommend Canidae highly just because Matt, my dog, has done so well on it. My mom’s dog recently switched to Canidae and her dog is doing well on it as well. Canidae's customer service is amazing too, so that’s great.

    I was at a function in the States and I was talking to different breeders. At the time, I had a border collie and I wanted to know what to do in general, especially since back then, I didn't have access to the internet. I spoke to a breeder who was telling me that if I could get Canidae in Canada, I should get it. Or I should go out of my way to get it. And when I did, I noticed a difference in the coat of the border collie and in its eyes. I also saw the difference in its health and everything in the general within six weeks.

    I love Canidae. For the last 14 years, I've been buying the All Stages product and I am really happy because I noticed a difference in all of my dogs. I used to give it to two of my dogs and they lived for 16 and 14 years with no problems. Their coats were shiny and their health were tremendous. They also had no problems with crystal in the kidneys. Now I'm down to one dog and I also give her Canidae. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, but from her the gloss of her coat, the nails, and the eyes, I would recommend that product to anybody. In fact, I have recommended it to other people. My dog is beautiful and I love her. And she's getting the best that I can find.

    So I didn't wanna take her off of Canidae. And the few times that I had to, I noticed a difference. I know you always have to change the food gradually or mix it in if you're doing a transition and that's what happened this time in January. I couldn't get Canidae anymore and I was in a panic because our local suppliers stopped making it available. I'm in Canada and even though I'm close to Detroit, they wouldn't let me bring it over the border if I purchased it. So, I had to switch my dog over to what they recommended as a comparable dog food from Pet Value. Still, she was not the same and I wasn't happy. But this week I was able to get a hold of Canidae as I found one place in the county that still carries it. And I make a 30-mile drive to get it, so I bought two big bags.

    When our 18-year-old Golden Retriever was going through some end-of-life febrile seizures, we brought her to the vet, who suggested that we try changing out her food. We were doing Iams all these years but we had to go with something that was better, protein-based, and the vet suggested Canidae. We immediately saw a response in our dog, and we ended up getting another six, wonderful months out of her. It helped with her quality of life - changed her coat and changed her mentality. The protein got into her brain and the seizures stopped.

    We lost her that summer, then we waited, and we finally rescued a dog when they were clearing the shelters out of Texas. We now have a two-year-old Hector with us. We got him as a scrawny little guy at 50 pounds. His coat was nasty and it was a little mangy. We put him on Canidae, and I’m proud to say he’s now a whopping 70+ pounds, healthy and his coat is gorgeous. He's the best dog ever. And he's gonna enjoy a wonderful, excellent quality of life, just as my previous dog had, due to the Canidae food that he gets every single day.

    We do both the dry as well as the canned pate, the chicken, yellow one. And I’ve noticed a little difference in the consistency of it, but my dog doesn’t seem to mind at all. He still gobbles it up everyday. I just wish they could do a smaller can for the pate. I give the canned food as an accompaniment to the dry, but I don’t need to give that much so I usually keep it in the fridge covered. I wish it comes in a single serve, about half the can, or anything that's easier to-go, because right now, I have to travel with a full can. So, it’s just packaging. Their product is wonderful.

    I go to our local feed store, Westfield Feed Store in Westfield, Mass., to purchase Canidae and they have always highly recommended it. It’s right there in front of their store when I walk in, so I’m sure it’s a product they’re proud to represent. And we also highly recommend Canidae dog food to everybody because of the results we have witnessed.

Their pricing also went up and because of that, we're considering leaving Canidae for another pet food. But so far, we like them because all our dogs are on them and they are many. I have English Mastiff, French Bulldog, Irish Wolfhound, Great Danes, St. Bernards and English Bulldog.

    Originally went with anything NUTRO. However, we have been using Canidae products for about 14 years now. A gentleman at work, who was into feeds and had other animals, said that Canidae was a really good product, so we made the switch. We tried it and our dog loved it. Our pet is a full-sized 70-pound Golden Retriever, but we got him as a puppy, so we started with the puppy variant. The newest one that we went with was the Salmon variant and he likes it a lot. It is so weird, but we are sticking with it.

    It is very important to feed our pet natural ingredients. We spend a lot of money on the dog. He is one of the family members and we want to feed him good stuff. The sales person at the place where we buy, Pet Supply in Rancho Santa Margarita, talked to us about how Canidae process the food, and that really appealed to us that is why we continued doing it. Our original Golden Retriever lived for 13 years, which was a really good life span for her, and all we fed her was Canidae that is why we wanted to continue with our new dog. Canidae and Canidae products are top-notch. We’ve had very good success with it in using it with our pets and we are very satisfied.

    I'm a breeder and I was referred to Canidae. We've tried other ones since then but we just keep going back to the consistency of Canidae. We breed Norwegian Elkhounds and we send them home with a small bag of Canidae. We buy it more for what it doesn't do than what it does do. We've gone to Acana, Orijen and some of the other ones out there, and there were always some type of problems with them, like digestive issues, too much protein or recalls on the food. But Canidae had a lower recall history.

    There are times we've been upset with them. We're not really happy with the amount of pea and legume that's in it right now. That would be one issue with them, because protein levels go up by adding the legumes in it. But for a commercially produced dog food, it's basically consistent. We use All Life Stages and the Multi-Protein for the most part. Canidae should just reduce the peas in there and make sure they change their labels when they change their products. I know they have six months before they are required to change the labels. So they have to be more proactive on notifying customers that they're making a change in their formula when they do make a change. We've been on their breeder program for a while. Our local small pet store does the program for us and we don't have to do it. We get a number of bags free and stuff like that. We recommend the product.

    When I got my Boxer, he was eating Pedigree and he wasn't happy. He was gassy and it depends on what he ate. I read on the internet that Canidae would stop his gas, so I switched. It helped with his gas and eye boogers. I’ve got three dogs on it right now and they look forward to eating it. I use the same big bag every time. Once in a while, I would supplement, but they’re content with just the regular, old big bag. All of my dogs are in good health and weight.

    Canidae used to have the dog biscuits, and they were really good. They were a couple three inches long, but you could break them into quarters. But they took them away, and I don’t know what they’ve got so I’ve done away with any Canidae treats that I would’ve ever bought. If they have something comparable, at least send coupons or some kind of free samples. But as far as the dog food, I’m still buying it.

    Canidae was recommended by the vet and even the people that ran the pet stores. We used it for many years and I had two different pets on it. I had a Bernese Mountain Dog and an Australian Shepherd mix with Golden Retriever. It is very valuable to feed our pets with natural ingredients and I had one on the All Stages and one on the Senior. I love Canidae, but it is too expensive and we are no longer using it. It was close to $18 or $20 in just four or five years and it got to the point that we couldn’t afford it any longer. They had the $5 off coupon once in a while, but it wasn’t often enough. Their frequent buyer program where you buy the 10 or 12 bags was great, but still, their price got so outrageous. There are people with little dogs and it’d be okay, but I went through a bag every three weeks with two big dogs, so it was costing so much money. I was going through over two cups of food in the morning and two cups at night, so I went through it a lot quicker.

    I moved to California from Florida and I’ve been using another food there. I have a white German Shepherd, a black Lab mix and a hound mix.

Canidae was the best one that I found with the right amount of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine in it. I was buying it for about two years. But I stopped using it after the last price increase.

    My Lab mix started throwing up clear liquid once in a while in the middle of the night. I checked with the vet about it and he didn’t see any reason for it. But after I stopped using Canidae and switched to what I’m using now, he hasn’t thrown up since then. So, there’s possibly something in it that he was allergic to. Other than that, Canidae was fine.

But I understand that they have severed relations and they're an independent company now again. And the plants that they used seem to be very clean and meticulous about contaminants and such. So, I have a pretty high level of trust for the company as far as quality control is concerned. And that's the main reason that I stayed with them this long.

    I purchased Canidae pet food for 10 years but I recently stopped purchasing it when my dog died. My dog was a greyhound adopted from the track. When they were taken off the track to go to a home with other greyhounds, Canidae was the kibble that they were using. She was already on it and it was recommended to me. There was no reason to switch her off the brand so I didn't make an effort to do so. She liked and ate it. There were never any health issues related to her food and she didn't have any problems with her skin or coat.

    My dog was on the dry kibble as her regular, basic food and I augmented it by preparing some chicken or my own stuff with it for her to eat. With the different flavors of the kibble that I used, I noticed that her system reacted well to PURE Sky which had chicken and some dried sweet potatoes. It worked out well with her in the sense that she didn't have stinky breath or poop. But with the other flavors, she had a very strong odor. Nevertheless, Canidae was good food for her and I would definitely recommend this product.

I used to feed her the canned food with kibble both from Canidae but my mom switched over, so we feed her The Honest Kitchen. But I still put the Canidae kibble in it and she loves it.

    It's nice to feed her with food made of natural ingredients because it's not a bunch of crap that's going in her system. Canidae dog food is still somewhat processed because of the way it's made, but it's all natural. Canidae is also best on her stomach and on her coat. In fact, she is the healthiest dog and she hasn't had any problems. Canidae has different stages as well, so if you have a dog that's less or more active, there's one for your pet. They've got one for senior dogs, too. So, it's nice to have options. Other than that, I've recommended Canidae to a lot of first time dog owners because the ingredients in it are great and it's affordable. Majority of the time, most dogs are gonna like it.

So we wanna try and avoid the hip and the elbow problems by trying to keep her light. When we're being good with our dog and we stick to the dry food, her weight is maintained, which is good for us. I've had dogs in the past and they would not eat. But this food, she likes, so that's a big one for us.

    We were using another brand and they got so expensive. Someone at All For Pets, a little store, recommended Canidae. She told us to try it and that it was good. I have Yellow Labs and they did well with Canidae. Every time we change over to something else, they would get diarrhea but they did not get it from this. I get the big bag and I’m getting it now off Amazon. They can bring it to my door. We've been using Canidae for six years and we like it. They should not raise the price.

    I rescued dalmatians from a rescue organization and I was told they were being fed Canidae so I continued feeding them that. It's good food and better than when I was feeding some other ones that are not natural food. I also like getting a free one every 12th. With my dogs being dalmatians I have to watch their protein level and Canidae has 24% in one brand. One type is 26% and that's too high. So if I thin it 50-50 with a 20% high quality food, it's better for the dog. I'm very happy with the product, and I thank Canidae for producing a good product like that.

    Fed 9-week old puppy Canidae for four days, as directed (mixing with previous food). Puppy immediately displayed erratic behavior not previously demonstrated. After recognizing a correlation between feeding and behavior, switched back to original food on the fifth day; where the puppy demonstrated behavior typical of puppies (several romps throughout the day and naps). On the sixth day (today) fed the puppy original food for both morning and evening feedings and Canidae at noon feeding. Within 30 minutes of noon feeding the puppy again demonstrated high anxiety and irrational behavior. This behavior has continued into the evening and now night time. The food was highly recommended by the vet and there are many excellent reviews online, however, for whatever reason, my puppy has a severe adverse reaction to the food. I’m unsure, he may be an allergy to one of the ingredients. Nevertheless, not a good fit.

    I like that Canidae has small kibbles because one of my dogs has teeth problems. I have two dogs. Nibbler is a Lab and a Whippet and Nera is a Shih Tzu and a Lab. They enjoy eating their Canidae pet food. I noticed that they have a lot more energy and their coats are shinier too. I rotate the proteins every six months and have so far tried the duck, the fish, and the lamb variants. The one that I haven't had the luck with is the red meat formula. My older dog doesn't like it much. Besides that, one of the big things I like about Canidae is that they have a rewards program at the store where I buy the pet food from. For every 12 bags of food purchase, I get one free. It's a good deal since it shows how much they value loyalty. I really appreciate that.

    I have a Weimaraner and when I was raising her, I started feeding her Iams puppy formula. At about a year, she started getting consistent ear infections and at about two years, she started to get this weird rash on her chest. So, I completely stopped feeding her that brand food and went for the medicated $80 a bag food from the vet which didn’t do anything but drain my pockets. Then, I took her off all dog food and made her nothing but homemade organic stuff which cleared up her ear infections and the rash on her chest. However, it was a real commitment cooking three meals a day for your dog. So, I continued my search and I stumbled upon Canidae. In the different pet stores that I’ve gone to, either the employees were paid reps by Canidae or everybody loved the brand. They highly recommended it. The price could be dropped a few bucks but I had good results with it so, I’ve been using it and I haven’t had any issues at all.

    I have a Caucasian Ovcharka. It's a Russian snow dog. It's a big breed and a guard dog and it's over 200 pounds. He's friendly and he's good with the kids. I've been purchasing Canidae off and on for the last five years. It was recommended by my buddy who breeds dogs. I've seen all his dogs, and they are big, healthy and fat. I then got Canidae for my dog, and he's also fat and healthy. I took him to the vet and the vet said there's nothing wrong with him. The Canidae food helps my dog and keeps him where he needs to be.

    My buddy recommended Pure and I take the biggest bag that I've seen. I also try to pick up more weight so I don’t have to go back to the store in the next couple of days or the next week with the dog. I stock up on the food just like I do with more of the essentials. I also got a little Shepherd now. She's about a year old, and I'm feeding her the Canidae as well, and she's bigger than her brothers and sisters that I see. So, I'm happy with what I've got.

The other one is a little puppy and he's four months old. The dogs like Canidae and I don’t feed them anything else. First, they go from the Puppy and then I do the All Life Stages. The brand also fits with my philosophy. We eat organic food and pastured meat. We eat clean, so I would assume you gotta do that same thing for your pets. It definitely is worth it to buy Canidae.

    Canidae is all natural, and that is very valuable. It's like what we put in our bodies, we have to think about what our pets put in their bodies as well. I've been purchasing Canidae for at least six years. The store that we purchase it from recommended Canidae for our yellow Lab. She was about two before we got her, and she's already nine. We use the brown 40-pound bag. It lasts a very long time. I wish, however, that they had a better way to open the bag. When I open it, I have to fold it down and use a clothespin. It's not like I can unzip it. At the pet store that I buy it from, they take and cut the UPC symbol off the back, and that leaves a hole in my bag. They have to tape that up because for every semi-bag, I get a free bag. But our biggest thing is having to get into the bag. It's made up of thick plastic and it lasts me for several months, but I wish there was a better way to keep it sealed.

    I think adding a zipper-type seal and maybe putting the UPC at the higher portion of the bag would help everyone out, especially the people at the pet store. They don’t have to worry about the food being down there at the bottom where they have to cut the UPC off and have to put the tape over. I wish there was a way that the UPC would kind of peel off. That would be easy for them. But for me, I would like to be able to just zip it open. That way I can zip it close and know that the food is kept fresh. Still, Canidae helps out in my pet's coat and appearance. Its natural ingredients are really good for her.

I want my dog to be around for as long as I can have him, and I know that starts with his diet. He eats better than me I'm sure. He loves any flavor of the Pure Elements, I usually order the Sky (duck) because I think it has the best overall nutrition.

She doesn’t sell junk. I went with her and that recommendation and it stuck when we left my town. I’m a creature of habit but it's not just brand loyalty. It’s convenience.

    I was a little concerned at first that Canidae was like a little bit boutiquey and that it might be hard to find in different towns that we’ve lived in. I lived in and moved to Colorado and back, and I was getting Canidae in Colorado. But I’ve always been able to find it and it’s been easier. I only shop at independent stores and there are two in my town now. So that makes it easy to purchase Canidae. We use the wet and the dry.

Their teeth are staying a bit cleaner. We have a little dog and we still give him the grain-free, the PURE Sea one.

    We've had our puppy for 3 months and, based on a recommendation from the breeder, we’ve been feeding her the Canidae puppy chow. Everything was fine until the third bag, in which the kibbles were at least twice as large as the previous. I thought it was odd, but didn’t become concerned until our puppy stopped finishing her portions and got diarrhea. I called the company and they were surprised at the size and sent out a voucher for a replacement bag. We went straight out and bought another bag and the size was back to normal and puppy went back normal. Now we just had the experience again and being only the first day, it’s too early to tell if it’ll impact puppy. I called the company again and again they offered to send out a voucher, which is fine. But I live in the country, and simply running down to the corner pet store is not an option, and unscheduled trips are very inconvenient.

    Canidae has requested a sample of the kibbles, which we’ll send in, but here’s what’s a little upsetting… First, this is the second time within a few months and I’ve had no explanation from the company, other than “we’ll have to check with the distributor.” Worth pointing out is that these larger kibble bags came from two different sources, one on-line and the other a local pet store, but who knows, maybe the same distributor. Second, the diarrhea and loss of appetite (too early to tell on the second bag, though she’s had three BMs before 10 am, which is unusual) could be a result of change of product, which means who knows what’s actually in the bag.

    Third, the lack of explanation and follow through is really frustrating. Based on my conversation with the rep, it’s my understanding that they do not retain control of the production, but instead rely on outside distributors to manufacture the food. That’s quite different than the perception you get from reading their story on-line and maybe that’s the nature of business these days. But when you’re paying for a premium product, I would expect a higher level of oversight on the company’s side to ensure the consumer is actually getting what we’re supposed to. I’ve rated it at 1 star to hopefully get someone’s attention but for what it’s worth, the proper sized puppy chow has been good and I would have rated that much higher.

I have tried several different brands and I go to a website that rates dog food by the paws, 5 being the best, top-of-the-line food and 0 being the worst. Canidae is a 4 on that website. Plus when I read that Canidae was from a local person and what nutrients are in it, I thought it was great. The four-meat one caught my attention because I have so many dogs and the price was right. But then I found out that some of my puppies were allergic to the chicken. I switched because you can’t give puppies chicken or beef in the first year of their life. I switched to the Lamb and the Rice then sometimes, I use the grain-free one too. I like that one.

    The dogs are doing great on Canidae. The best part about it is that it’s easier for the puppies to eat, transitioning from mother’s milk to whole food. It's easier because I mix it with another brand of food, which is grain-free, and it works great. When people purchase the puppies, I give them a shopping list. I recommend Canidae. When the puppies go home, they have to eat what they've been eating. That’s also part of my guarantee. I guarantee the puppies' health for two years but if the people aren’t feeding them the proper nutrition, then the guarantee is null and void.

    We get rewards by using Canidae and it's good for my pets. My one cocker lived 15 years. We had a young cocker and an older cocker, plus we had an older lab and they just devour it. I feed our pets the best that we could find and Canidae seemed to be the best with the ingredients. My mother-in-law pushes it on us too. My wife actually has friends that she takes the dog food to because they don’t have it in their area. She purchases it for them at my mother-in-law’s store. It has been a great product for us and we have never changed it. We were changing dog foods for a while and it seemed like Canidae is the one that the dogs have really liked, and they don’t get tired of it.

    I had my dogs eat Canidae for about two years. I had an extra-large English Mastiff and a black Lab at that time and Canidae was the biggest bag for the cheapest price with decent ingredients. But we got rid of one dog and my English Mastiff needed better ingredients from Canidae because of the allergies and he continued to break out. So we went with a different brand. But Canidae was great. There was nothing wrong with them. We just needed to adjust with the transition of another dog and the ingredients.

    I wanted better quality food for my dogs. I did my research and when I spoke to my vet, he told me that Canidae was excellent. Since then, I've been using Canidae for 11 years now and I've had an excellent experience with the brand. My hound mix had to be taken off it because he has Cushing's and they were afraid it was a food allergy. Still, my eight-year-old Golden Retriever has been on it ever since she was a pup and she has been doing beautifully on it. I highly recommend this brand.

    First I would like to say that Canidae dog food is excellent. We have been feeding it to our 6 month old pup for two months with excellent results. I just want to be clear that my issue is not with the food. I was introduced to Canidae by Susan **, the Canidae in-store rep at Petco in Irvine, California. She has been very helpful with both dry and wet food suggestions and given me coupons as well. One of the reasons I like Canidae (besides the high quality product) is that they present as a family-run company that cares about its product, its customers, and its employees.

    So today I was surprised to find out that all their store reps, including Susan, were laid off VIA EMAIL, WITH ONE WEEKS’ NOTICE. She said it was because Canidae is doing very well and feels it no longer needs in-store reps to promote its product. Fair enough, but if you’re doing so well, you should pass that along to your employees by letting them go IN PERSON, with a minimum two weeks’ notice. Given your reputation as being a company that cares, that would be the least you could do. Disappointed at your lack of compassion for your own employees. Hoping you’ll treat them more fairly as you continue to grow.

    We are very sorry to hear that. Our dog food and cat food formulas contain more meat and less carbohydrates than most other brands. We have found that the smoothest transition from one dry pet food to another is to simply mix the foods together. This process should usually take about seven days until you are feeding your pet 100% of the new food. You can increase the transition time if your dog or cat is particularly sensitive to menu changes.

    Our dog food and cat food formulas contain more meat and less carbohydrates than most other brands. While a higher meat to carbohydrate ratio provides a healthier diet, those pets who are used to eating a different diet will transition easier if the old food and new food are mixed together at varying ratios for a short time. We recommend a 7 day transition period to smoothly make the switch as gentle as possible on your pet’s digestive system.

    Our formulas are also more nutritionally dense than many other brands. As a result, your dog or cat will feel fuller and need fewer servings per day than what you may have been feeding previously. Many pets find our food to be more palatable than other brands, so some will want to eat more than their recommended daily amount. Please pay close attention and follow the daily servings guidelines on the back of the bag! And make sure to always offer plenty of fresh water to your pet.

    Any abrupt change to a different diet can cause some pets to experience gastro-intestinal upset (for example: loose stools or vomiting). While this upset usually disappears in a matter of days, it can often be avoided by following these simple transition guidelines. Unlike humans, dogs and cats often eat the same diet for months or years and their digestive systems are not as used to change as ours are!

    I have also sent you an email to offer you assistance on how to help transition with little to no prior food.

    Please visit the link below for additional tips for transitioning. Which I have also included in the email and PM to you.

    I had an overgrown Miniature Pinscher as a pet. I rescued him from a woman in Connecticut. She had all of her dogs on Canidae, and my dog preferred the salmon flavor. I have been purchasing Canidae dog food on and off for him for 15 years. I tried a different brand every once in a while but he always loved Canidae. When I tried another brand he just sniffed it and looked up at me so I knew I was in trouble. He liked the training treats. I would mix it with boiled egg so he would get his extra protein. When he got older, I mixed it with some roasted chicken just to get him to eat a little more. I would put them in peanut butter in the Kong. They were crunchy and he liked crunchy food. I have recommended Canidae to a lot of people. Canidae has a Buy 10, Get One Free program, which was good.

I got my daughter to purchase Canidae for her dog, part wiener and part terrier, who wasn’t pooping solid and wasn’t pooping enough. But when we put him on the Canidae, everything was hunky dory. I was convinced that it was superior and that it really helped with energy levels. I got the one with the glucosamine for the big-hip dogs and they’re very good.

    Canidae has better ingredients and we used it for about 5 years for our cat and dog. Our eight-year-old male cat liked the Canidae but he was finicky. When the cat food got old, he didn't finish eating what was in his bowl. I would have to dump that out and put fresh food in and then put the older stuff back on top so he’d eat that and it won’t go rancid. I had to do that with the dog food too. The big bag fills 2 food grade containers and by the time we got to halfway through the second pail, the food would be rancid. We could smell it. Our 13-year-old dog won’t eat it too.

    We used to buy the chicken flavored ones and we like that the idea that Canidae had three to one ratio between fat and carbs. If it's less than that, then that’s what fattens pigs. The dog was overweight and used to stink when we first got him. He became very active when he was here with us and he slimmed right down just by giving him Canidae dog food. Even though we gave him more than what he was supposed to be eating, he still slimmed down. Also, he had the right calcium and the things that he needed from the dog food so the odor went away.

    We liked the dog food but we got so tired of having to throw some out because it would always go rancid on us. We stopped feeding Canidae to our pets 8 months ago even though they are not really fond of what we've got right now and our dog is having a problem chewing. He’s a Blue Heeler and they’re cattle dogs that like to chase the horses. Sometimes, he gets kicked in the mouth by the horses if he doesn’t watch what he’s doing. His teeth are getting real sensitive, so I've been adding water to the dog food to make it softer. But he really doesn’t like it. He really didn’t like that dog food in the first place but at least it wasn’t rancid.

    During the summer, we would buy smaller bags, but then we would be in the grocery store all the time buying the smaller bags. A couple of stores close by just have the bigger ones. To get a smaller bag, we had to go way down to Eau Claire that is 40 miles away. I wish Canidae would have a softer dog food too for dogs that can’t chew the hard stuff. My husband reads a lot of labels and he says that Canidae is about the best that we can come across.

    My girlfriend who had a dog on Canidae recommended it and my dog has done very well on it. When I got him as a pup, he had a problem with his skin which was really bad, like canine acne. He also had a few other things wrong. I had him on a product that had grain in it, then I decided to try Canidae because it was grain-free and it cleared him up quickly, in about a week. He’s a bit overweight right now. He’s a 120-pound Doberman and when he wants to eat, he knocks his bowl until I put food on it. It’s the limited ingredients dry lamb and rice in the brown bag. Feeding my pet natural ingredients is 100% valuable. I’ve been through two other Dobermans that had horrible health problems and I can relate it all back to the food I was feeding them. I just wish I have started them on this product. They probably wouldn’t have had the problems they did.

    We’re not happy though that they raise the prices so much but my dog loves the food. He’s picky sometimes about what he eats but he wants this hard food. We also feed him meat but he also has to have his hard food. His energy levels are over the top and he has been healthy for the years we’ve had him so far. Also, everybody always comments on his coat which is so shiny and beautiful. He is short-haired and he is black and when he’s in the sun, he is almost like a mirror. His teeth have stayed wonderful with this food too. Canidae is a super product.

She would buy it and then distribute it to all of us out here on the farm. So, I've been doing it for 20 years. One of my Border Collies had a bunch of joint swelling. I was feeding him dog food that wasn’t labeled and I was gonna slowly switch her over to mine but she ended up being allergic to potatoes. She could have sweet potatoes but no grain and no potatoes. So, I started researching the no-grain stuff. I just found out that Canidae was going grain-free, so that was neat, because I've got a couple of Border Collies that are really sensitive. Our pets are more sensitive than humans.

    A next door neighbor raises German Shepherds and we did a supplement at the same time that I tried the new grain-free. So, between the two of them, it has really helped because the one that had all the problems with his joints is back to normal now. These Border Collies are the pickiest eaters in the whole wide world and when Canidae gave me samples of the dry raw, I just put it on my hand to see which ones would eat it and which ones wouldn't. Every single one of them ate it, so I was pretty excited about that.

I do a lot of babysitting for my friends’ dogs and I warned everybody that I’m feeding Canidae to my dogs and not to bring theirs.

    My dog, Lily, is seven years old and I have been purchasing the Canidae pet food for 7 years as well since it was recommended by the breeder. Lily is a choco Lab and she's 80 pounds, although she's supposed to be smaller. I have another chocolate Lab, who is a rescue, and he's 100 pounds. They both eat the Canidae All Life Stages as it works best for them. My dogs only need a small amount and they’re satisfied. A low amount of food for a big animal is important. Feeding my pets with natural ingredients is very valuable. There are no additives, no preservatives and almost organic that I can tell, but it doesn’t say that on the label. It would be nice if we knew about that. The Canidae pet food is good for animals.

    My good friend, Tina, owns a pet barn in Ventura. We met and talked about dog foods and she mentioned Canidae was good. I started using them for my dogs over 13 years ago. At first, I had huskies that did okay on NUTRO MAX and I changed to Canidae's All Life Stages Platinum. Both died at 13. Then, I had three border collies. I changed them to Canidae around 2001 and continued using Platinum. They were medium-sized, 50 pounds, gorgeous and wonderful dogs. They would eat Canidae no matter what. My last dog just passed away on Friday and she wasn’t well at all, but her coat was beautiful. She was very healthy-looking even though she was very sick, and Canidae helped her to stay around longer.

    It was very valuable to feed my dogs natural food ingredients. It was not right to feed them anything else because I love them. I wanted them to be in the best health that they could be in, show good and healthy, have beautiful coats, and my dogs did. I had compliments over and over about their beautiful coats and it was because of the food. Also, the price was a little bit lower than some of the other ones and that was very helpful. Canidae was an excellent food for my dogs. I felt very good about it and I've passed it on to other people, so I’ve got some other people that use it too.

    I give the Canidae pet food to my adult dog and have been using it for three years. I have a seven-year-old purebred German Shepherd and she gets the limited ingredient, salmon and peas. I like the limited ingredients because I think there are only nine in it, and it makes it easier to manage if there is any kind of stomach and/or allergic aspects. I like the mix of the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. I also like the mix of protein to fat ratio. Feeding my dog with natural ingredients is valuable. I used Canidae on a dog that we don't have any longer and we used the same limited ingredient puppy food, which was great.

    I'm in North Carolina and a lot of dogs during winter experience dry skin, and we had experienced it from time to time. With the Canidae, my dog didn't experience her skin drying during winter. Her fur softened and she stayed at her ideal body configuration. Canidae works good and I have no compelling reason to change it. Overall, Canidae is a consistent quality for me.

    I buy their food for my Labrador and my two cats. They love it so much. I love their product so much and it is the best kibble out there on the market. They need to receive more attention from people. Before I feed Canidae to my dog, I tried Blue Buffalo, Taste of the Wild, Orijen, Merricks, and many more brands. However, this is the only brand that works well on my dog. He goes crazy every time I feed him. I fed him since he was a puppy with the "Large Puppy Breed" for about a year. I recently changed his food to all stages and all breed recipes. He is a very healthy puppy and the only time he needs to go to the vet is to get his vaccinations.

    We used Canidae for five years. I liked the natural ingredients in it. We have a Great Pyrenees, a Border Collie mix, and a Terrier. We bought the one regular brand to feed them all. It was a very good quality dog food and was better than grocery store food. There was less waste in the yard and the dogs' coats generally looked more healthy. However, it was too expensive. If I was only feeding my Terrier, it would be fine. I don't mind spending that kind of money if it was gonna last me a while but with three dogs, I was really going through a lot of dog food and I couldn’t afford to spend that much on dog food. We don’t use it anymore and what I’m using right now is about half the price.

    Our dog, a Golden Retriever, was getting a lot of ear infections. The girl that babysits her told me that I should change her food. She fed her Goldens Canidae so I tried it and our dog stopped having an ear infection. Canidae All Life Stages has always worked for her so I just kept using it and I've been purchasing Canidae for 10 years now. Feeding our pet with natural ingredients is very valuable since I've seen that it helped them to be healthier when I changed her food. She's 11 and she's healthy so Canidae has been good.

    Canidae is all I've used for my dogs for 14 years now and I wouldn't go with any other dog food. It makes a difference in their overall health. I use the All Life Stages and all my 4 dogs eat it. I don’t have to buy special ones for older dogs and younger dogs. I have a 14-year old Golden Retriever and that's a breeder so I have to use that dog food. I also have a Springer Mix at 15, a Maltese that's 13 and another Golden Retriever that's 12. My Springer is not keeping weight on right now because he is old, so I buy rotisserie chickens then I shred them and put it on top of his dog food. I just give him a little extra stuff on and he eats all the dog food too. Except for minor stuff, my animals are very healthy and it's because of the dog food. I've also recommended Canidae to other people I know who have dogs.

    Canidae states on its packaging that it has natural ingredients. I've been purchasing it for the last 4 years and I get the large 44-pound bag for large breeds. It's the chicken, lamb and rice. Canidae contributes to the overall health and well-being of our 2 dogs, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a rescue dog that's a mix. They're about eight years old and one of them had a bit of a diet issue but the feed seems to work good for her. They seemed a little more sluggish when we've used other brands but now they seem to be a lot more active.

    I used Canidae for six years. The guy at the pet store recommended it then. I like that you buy so many bags and get one free. That was good until one of the two miniature poodles that are about 18 pounds developed an allergy to chicken by-products -- the products we checked out had. Hence, I don't use it anymore.

    I wouldn't feed our dog anything other than Canidae. We had another Golden Retriever which died of cancer and we see that Canidae is the best food. Feeding our dog natural ingredients is very important to us. Our Golden Retriever now is three years old and we've been using Canidae for three years as well. We only feed her the salmon. Her coat is amazing and everybody who touches her says that they had never felt a dog so soft. It's crazy. Plus when you buy 12 bags, you get one free at the end, and that's cool. Now, we refer it to everybody and my daughter has a puppy who's about seven months old and he eats Canidae food too.

    My cats started throwing up with Blue Buffalo and I heard that they changed their recipe. Somebody bought them out and it wasn’t quite as good so I tried Canidae and the cats love it. I have small and large 22 cats that I’m feeding and I’ve been buying it for eight years. I like it and it’s good for the cats and their coats are so good and great. I do it because I want them to be healthy so that I don’t have that cost in the long run.

    I get the other products too but I get Life Stages more since it’s a little cheaper and it does better for them. I get the canned food when I can. I can mix the no-grain with it, but I’ve had problems with diarrhea and stuff with those kitties. If I change them to even another one of the Canidae brand, it can trigger it. So I just put in a little bit in there and mix it up. I have a couple of cats that have rather sensitive stomachs where they throw up. The dogs are usually okay and they are all doing really well. I had Blackie, she was a lab and she was put to sleep at 18.

    The cats’ coats are beautiful especially if I start them young. Bobby is not a nice-looking tabby and the vet was walking past and he said, “Wow, what a beautiful cat.” Stretch, the latest one who is almost two years, is also getting a wonderful coat like Bobby. It really does make a difference and all my cats have really nice fur. I spayed and neutered my eight feral cats and I make sure that they get the good food because I don’t want the boys’ urinary tracts plugging up and I can’t afford to get them all that wet. I use Canidae a lot and so, I want to know how I can go directly to them and save some money. I do the “Every 12 bags, I get a bag free.” That’s really important for somebody who’s buying so much like me so Canidae should not stop doing that one. If they can send me anything and they wanna use me in any kind of commercial, if they wanna pay me or give me free food, that would be great.

    I’ve been buying Canidae for 10 years for my Cocker Spaniel since that was the food that the Humane Society recommended. However, I was mad because the it went up $4 a bag when I picked it up about a month ago. Nevertheless, it's a healthy dog food and my dog likes it. We feed her once a day and her bowl is empty every day. So if the dog likes the food, don’t change it.

    I have a Great Dane who's turning six and I've been using Canidae for five and a half years. It's expensive but a lot of foods gave my dog diarrhea and Canidae seemed to work. I feed my dog the salmon one and it makes her coat really shiny. I also have a Chihuahua and she is like an old lady but she's still picking Canidae so it's pretty good.
