    A friend of mine was a canine officer with California Highway Patrol and he said Canidae is what they feed all their animals and it was about the best thing they could find for the price. I've been using it for eight years for my dogs. I had a German Shepherd, a Lab-Husky that is still hanging in there and we have a miniature dachshund. They all eat the same food and they clean their bowl. They seem to like it, and even the cat tries to get some sometimes.

    Canidae is the pet food that my dog could tolerate because my Saint Bernard has gastro problems. We've been purchasing it for seven years now. We are using the Grain Free PURE Elements and it keeps him healthy. I recommend Canidae. It has good value for what it performs with my dog and hopefully it’s postponing their lifespan, because of the ingredients. I believe it also keeps him out of the vet more.

    I've been purchasing Canidae for seven years now. I like that they do the Buy 12, Get 1 free, which is a nice perk for purchasing and being loyal. We have a German Shepherd who's almost nine and has a sensitive stomach, and we didn’t wanna pay for Prescription Diet food so our vet recommended Canidae as a good food for her stomach. She has been fairly healthy on Canidae so we don't change it up. Canidae helps maintain our pets' health, especially since our Shepherd has a lot of health issues.

    I used Canidae's kidney variant. I have a sick dog that has kidney disease and he eats for a day and then he won't eat Canidae's food anymore. I've tried several different canned foods. I've also tried two different dry foods and he picks the kibbles out and eats a little bit of the food. He hasn't eaten at all for the past two days. I took him to the vet this morning, and I gave him some chicken and he threw that up this morning. He got his blood and urine checked and I'm going to find out tomorrow if he's getting worse, better or same.

    I used to buy the cat food when I was a cat breeder. They had the special for Siamese and I was using that, and I used the mama cat and kitten food. I switched from Siamese to Oriental Shorthairs. I took them to shows and they got Herpes, and it spread through the cattery and so I only have one cat now. The cats did well until they got sick.

    We originally changed to the Canidae grain-free formula because of my dog's allergies and stayed with it. I’ve been using Canidae for four years and my dogs have grown up on it since they were puppies. But I had to change one of my dogs off of Canidae completely because he was having a urinary tract infection all the time. There is something in his food that I can't feed him, although he hates it because he’s four years of having the same dog food.

    My dogs are my humans and they’re important to me. That’s why I buy a higher brand. With Canidae, I can go to my local feed store like Farmers Feed Store and they offer to buy 10 get one free. I usually pay $10 more and don’t get that 10th bag free if I go to PetSmart and Petco. However, I will probably be changing off all of the dogs over the course of the next three months because even the local feed store is raising their rates by $10. And when I have seven dogs, it becomes unaffordable. Having a higher quality of food shouldn’t mean that the price goes up.

    I like the integrity of the company and I've been using their dog food for about seven years now. My pit bull does fine on Canidae. I do add the probiotics to it and some glucosamine in the morning, and then I add liquid to the night meal where he really doesn’t chew. By and large, it’s very healthy for him. and I’m very pleased with it. I just got a blood test on him and the protein was a little bit high, but that could be because of the bananas and little treats. So I pretty much took those out and I now mix Canidae with a special protein dog food.

I don’t have any problems with my dogs, and I just got my vet bill the other day and they are tip-top. Canidae was also recommended by other pet owners and vets, and I like its availability through where I get it. There’s a rebate program that I use.

    I have three dogs that have been using Canidae for about two years now. I eat natural ingredients for myself so I want my dogs to have natural ingredients, too. One of my dogs is a Bernese Mountain dog and he's sensitive to a lot of different food. And the vet recommended going with a bison-based protein, and our breeder did, too. So, I switched them all over to the bison. We've tried Life Stages but my Bernese Mountain dog can't eat Life Stages. It's got chicken and some other stuff in it that doesn't agree with him. Canidae is expensive and their Frequent Buyer Program helps. I appreciate the coupons that I get every once in a while to cut down in the cost because it's $60 a bag. And for three dogs, we go through a lot of dog food. But we're really happy with Canidae. The dogs are healthy and they're doing well.

    I needed to get a pet food with higher Omega-3 because my Basset Hounds have skin conditions. I've been feeding them Canidae's lamb and rice for a couple of years. It's valuable feeding them natural ingredients, and they seem to do well with Canidae. I'm satisfied. The only thing is Canidae needs to educate the stores that sell their products a little better as far as the program where you buy 12 bags and you get one free. They're not very clear on that and it's frustrating when you have to go in and you have to argue to get your free bag. One of the bags that I had bought was a larger 50-pound size instead of having all the rest for the 30 pounds. And the retailer said that I couldn't get the free bag because I had one that was not the same size while the free bag I was getting was the 30 pounds. They wouldn't let me do it. I then wrote to the company and the rep ended up sending me a coupon for a free bag. So, it ended up working out.

    Until very recently when I lost my dog, we've been using Canidae for our Dalmatian at home. We chose this food for its ingredients and fed it to him for at least a couple of years. He really enjoyed the pure salmon though I didn't go with Senior. I would rather feed less of adult food than feed the Senior, which doesn’t seem to have the same protein levels. I feel that -- Senior foods are filled with other things to decrease the calorie count.

    I would never feed my Dalmatian anything but a natural brand. I notice that a lot of the dog food brands are going with pea protein and I’m very upset with many companies about that. So, I make it a big point to everyone I talked to that pea protein is not the way to go ‘cause companies are taking out meat protein in order to do it. I recommend Canidae.

    My Westie has food sensitivities. I thought it was a behavioral issue when he would sit and just guard his food for awhile before eating. I switched to Canidae bison and he started eating right away. No more guarding. But I have noticed his skin & fur getting drier and shedding is greatly increased which surprised me. The bison food price has also increased substantially. I’m wondering if the salmon formula would be better for his skin & coat. Does anyone know? Or should I just add fish oil to his food?

    CANIDAE Life Stages Dry Cat Food for Kittens, Adults & Seniors - After years of my cat eating Iams Indoor Weight/Hairball control, she too began throwing up. I came to this website to find out why. Hundreds upon hundreds of cat owner all say the same thing... the formula must have changed because their cats are throwing up. Once again, I came to this website for ideas on a better brand of cat food. My cat has gone from throwing up on Iams to not eating THIS food at all. She'd rather starve than eat one morsel of this food.

    I'm completely mystified by all the rave reviews for this product. I just don't get it. My exclusively indoor cat has never been a picky eater nor has she ever been sick, but she WILL NOT eat this food. Mixing with other kibble or attempts to flavor it has done little to encourage her to try it, much less eat it. I spent $35.00 on a 15 lb bag of cat food that my cat shrinks away from at the smell. How can I expect her to eat it? Such a waste of money. Now I'm on the hunt for yet another brand of cat food. This is not going to be an easy task since my choices are throwing up, diarrhea, adverse health reactions, or starvation.

    My dog Bruno is a ten year old German Shepherd and he has sensitivity to chicken. Other than Blue Buffalo, Canidae was the only brand that didn’t have chicken at the time. Canidae doesn’t have chicken fat. Everything else has it even though they say beef. Canidae has clean, limited ingredients. I buy the Blue Buffalo, too. Lamb and rice also does not have chicken. So I alternate, but he gets probably 70% Canidae. My dog has been having Canidae for at least ten years and it works great. He does really great on it. And if you read the labels, you have to give him seven cups Purina for a dog his size. But if you buy a better dog food like Canidae, you only give him three to three and a half cups for the same type of nutrition. So even though the other brands are a little less expensive, you feed them with the same amount of nutrition. So overall, I recommend Canidae all the time.

    I've been purchasing Canidae Pet Food for my dogs for about six years now, and so far, my dogs do well on it. I have a degree in animal nutrition so I’m very picky about my dog food. I personally prefer dog food with natural ingredients for my budget and my pets and Canidae keeps a reasonable price for the quality of their ingredients versus some other pet foods that charge astronomical amounts.

    I feed my mastiff and my boxer the grain-free one, and they eat a cup of food in the morning and a cup of food at night. The boxer was a rescue and around 13 years old. For the age that he is in and for boxers, that’s old, but he has all of his teeth and no bone, joint, muscle or structural issues. He's got the perfect weight and doesn't have tumors too. The only thing with Canidae, though, was that they have a deal where if I turn in so many UPC codes, I'd get free dog food. But they switched their bag and now, it's a little less convenient to be able to get the rewards from it. But other than that, I recommend this brand to a lot of people.

    We adopted a 10 year old kitty about 2 years ago. She had been on a crappy quality canned food diet so we weaned her off that and introduced to her the grain free limited ingredient diet - fresh chicken kibble. Simple recipe for sensitive cats. She loved it but would gobble it up so quickly she would sometimes vomit. So we integrated another type of high quality food that she liked and we had no problem with her keeping it down. So now we give her her favorite kibble but only as a treat and she still loved it. She meows like crazy to have her "treats."

    Unfortunately it seems that the recipe has changed, though, and we cannot get her to even try one single morsel. She turns her nose up to it. We bought another bag of the very same thing and she continues to turn her nose up to it. The other day I found a small zip lock bag of her original kibble that I had put aside for a trip. She went crazy for it. So now I am certain that the recipe has changed. Something added or deleted and she hates the new bags we bought for her. This is not an inexpensive food and we've wasted somewhere around $40 because she won't eat it. It's not a matter of her being finicky. The exact same label each time. So, I'm just wondering if the company was aware that there was a change in their ingredients. It's enough for me to not want to throw away my money again.

    I've been purchasing Canidae for four years now. Our vet recommended it. My pet is a 4.5 year-old black Labrador. I should feed my pet good natural ingredients so he won't have health issues down the road and he'll be healthy and try to have him enjoy his life without worry about surgery and health issues. Canidae is definitely worth it giving it to my pet. Since giving him Canidae, he has a really glossy coat so he's got healthy skin and hair. It's a great product. But it's a little bit pricey compared to other dog food but you're getting quality. So, I'd rather have quality over quantity for my pet. And it's good that they have their labels system where if you buy so many bags you get the 11th one free.

    Kevin at Oaks Feed here in Toledo recommended Canidae to me and I've been using it for about 10 years now. I have a 9-year old Yorkie, a 5-year old West Highland Terrier and a Jack Russel mix, and an 11-year old Maltese Shih Tzu. I was always on dry dog food and then a year ago I decided to buy some canned dog food, which is softer, because I had a dog that I was gonna lose and his teeth were really bad. So we mixed it, and I've been keeping that and just a tablespoon on the dry every night for dinner. My dogs are healthy and their teeth are good. We walk four miles every day. Feeding them Canidae is just like us eating fruits and vegetables. It's a natural food and I recommend Canidae all the time.

    I have been buying Under the sun grain free dog food for 6 months now and have a ways has good experiences.

Last month I bought a bad of the grain free lamb flavored dog food and my dog just seemed uninterested in his food. He wouldn't eat right away, he would smell it and walk away. I thought maybe he just wasn't hungry but then I caught a whiff of his food when I was feeding him one evening and realized it smelled terrible. It smelled rancid and rotten, like gasoline. I think something may be wrong with this batch. Either way I will be switching brands.

    My rep convinced me to switch my pups over to Canidae 'cause of some food allergy issues. I have a five-year old German Shepherd and Blue Heelers that are two years old and four months old. I've been buying Canidae for about six years and have switched between All Life Stages lamb and chicken. I've also stopped feeding them raw recently because I find it very important to feed them with natural ingredients. Canidae has been a great food for my dogs and I recommend them often. I noticed a difference in my pups' skin and coat. However, I'm hoping that they'd eventually come out with something that is a little more limited ingredient 'cause my dog still has certain issues or my Shepherd does not eat Canidae. Also, I grew up with Boxers eating IAMS and they eventually got cancer and oral issues with their teeth. Hopefully, Canidae would make a difference in those things in the long run.

    We've been purchasing Canidae for at least five years and we've been happy with it. We just prefer to give our pets all natural food. We've had very healthy cats. My senior cat had some issues and they wanted me to change her food, so they gave me some expensive food from the vet and she wouldn't eat it. So then I bought the Canidae canned food. The same line, just the canned food versus the dry food and she loves it. And she's been much better. They thought maybe she had leukemia or lymphoma. She was puking everyday. She was really sick. Her lab work was off. They're now thinking maybe it was appendicitis. But the most important thing was to make sure she ate and drank, and she really chows on the moist food.

    My girlfriend was feeding Canidae to her dog and when we moved in together, I took over with it. It seems to be good and I haven't had any problems with it. Some cheaper food would make my dog sick, plus, I don't like the idea of over-processed things. Canidae seems like a better way to go and wasn't too expensive. Also, we tried to stick to the healthiest things for the last four years or so and if you're gonna guard your way to eat healthy, why wouldn't you want your pets to eat healthy? We treat our dogs like our kids and that only makes sense.

    All in all, Canidae is great and I would recommend it to those who value their dogs' health as far as what they eat. A lot of people I know go for the cheap ones and I get that because there was a time when I couldn't afford certain food. But once I got to a point where I could afford to eat better, I figured our pets should, too. We've been purchasing Canidae for our two dogs for years now. Her dog is a tiny rat terrier and is 15 years old. He just lays around and waits to eat his food. Then I have an English bulldog that is close to four years old now. We get the Life Stages for both of them regularly and there used to be this neighborhood pet store where we bought it from. They had the little envelope and if we got so many bags, we got the 12th one free. That program was good and we were doing that for the last few years. But that store closed about a year ago and we haven't done it since.

    My girlfriend was supposed to get online and try to see if we could get more envelopes to do the program. But now, you get a frequent buyer card thingy then you get your 11 UPC codes, stick them in there, and fill it out. Then you send it in whereas before, we didn't have to do that. We just took the codes to the store and they would give us the free bag then they would go through the trouble of sending them in and getting their credit note.

    We’re very happy with our experience with Canidae but we sometimes have a hard time finding it in stores locally so we’ve asked around for natural pet foods. Sometimes, they have Canidae in stock and sometimes, they don’t. So, we sometimes order from Amazon which is what we’re doing right now. It’s good but once in a while, the bag is a different kibble or a little darker than a different bag. Other than that, we have no complaints and it doesn’t seem to bother the dogs when it looks different.

We've checked the report from when you contacted us and noticed the bag was one month from expiration and we are very sorry the food smelled rancid.

    When stored properly the quality of the food should be good until the best by date on the bag. We recommend food being stored in a cool dry place as the ingredients and preservatives are natural. If somewhere before purchase the food was out in extreme temperatures or stored in or above warm or hot temperatures this could affect the quality of the food, oils and natural preservatives. We again are very sorry this happened.

    We are glad you contacted us and that we were able to replace this for you but are sad to hear this caused you to change. If we can ever offer any assistance with getting back to CANIDAE please give us a call, email or chat and we will be happy to assist you.

    I've been using Canidae for six years. Our dog at the time was having some joint problems, and we put him on the bone and raw food diet. What we understood was that Canidae was a good dry supplement to what we were feeding him and that there wasn't much cereal in it. And when that dog passed on, we stayed with it with the new dog, which seems to tolerate it well and like it. It made a noticeable difference for our last dog. His manure was significantly smaller than when we used to feed him the shelf stuff from the grocery store. For our new dog, it's not as big a pile as what you would expect for a 125-pound dog, so I truly believe that there is more natural stuff and less cereal and filler in Canidae. It's a good brand to go with.

And for a long time, she was always throwing up that yellowish clear liquid. And we could never figure out what it was. And never once did my vet say anything about her food. And then as the internet became more popular, I found out that a lot of it has to do with the allergic reaction to some of the fillers that they put in food. We ended up having to put our dog to sleep. She couldn't even go anymore. She was almost 16 years old. But never once have we ever had her or any other dog throw up that bile looking stuff.

And he used Canidae and he talked to me about all the ingredients and what he noticed in changes in his dogs when he switched to that food. So we switched to Canidae. Now we have 8 dogs and we use The All-Life Stages one. And their coats are way shinier and they're way more active. They don’t poop nearly as much.

    I started using Canidae pet food five years ago. I was actually using the Solid Gold which I used to buy from Petco and they have this buy 10 and get one after the 10th purchase. But they changed their manager and they were not lenient to me. I saw Canidae in a good market for organic and health food. I said that it could be a good brand and then I saw it at Pet Supply. I bought it and I was very satisfied with it. My dogs like it and they didn't have any diarrhea issue with it so I decided to shift to Canidae. I'm feeding Life Stages to my Anatolian Shepherds. They're big dogs and they're now 10 years old. It's their main food but I also buy chicken when it's on sale at a store near here. And sometimes, I really have a good deal, so I have a stock of chicken, I put it in my freezer and then I boil it every week. On top of that, I also buy carrots. I put carrots and chicken and then Canidae.

    I have a good friend who works in that store and I told her to remove the chicken skin because I don't let them eat the skin. It's very important to feed dogs with natural ingredients and If I can only cook for them I will so that their food is fresh. But I'm working, so I can't. But if I couldn't cook and there's no sale and my stock is already gone, what I do is I buy the freeze-dried food and put it as a topper on top of the Canidae. When I got to my vet, they will sometimes recommend you Health Science but my dog doesn't really like it so I just stick to Canidae. I have 10 dogs and I wanted to give them the very best.

    When he goes for his yearly vet checks, everything's fine. So, we're just going to keep purchasing a Canidae. It satisfies him and I like their award system. I save all the coupon that UPC folks send and I send them in so I can get a case of canned food and a 15-pound bag of dry food. That works out really well. It is a little more expensive, so with those coupons, it helps. I have recommended it to other people especially if they get a new dog. I just tell them to start them with Canidae, work with the puppy food and work up. If he was on another type of food, I'd say to put a little bit Canidae in each day until you're putting more in so that the puppy's tummy doesn't get upset.

    Canidae is all natural and I like that it seems to work and it's readily available to me. It is very valuable for me to be feeding my pets with natural ingredients, and Canidae works with their digestive system. I've been purchasing it for my Labs for 13 years. I have one that is four. My other one was 14 but I had to say goodbye a couple of years ago and I also had another one for 19 months. I purchased the Life Stages, but we purchase Under the Sun now. My four-year-old Lab had soft stools with the Life Stages and now, it's hard with the Under the Sun, so I switch to it.

    Canidae is a really high-quality dog food. My son-in-law told me about it. He really liked it and he used it for his pets. I used to purchase it for my Pitbull-Boxer mix and he looked good with it. I was also purchasing Life Stages for my old dog, Lolly. She was an older dog when I adopted her.

    Canidae is a better product. We have Labradors and Rottweilers where one just passed away, the other one's 13 and another is two. We grabbed one of the Life Stages to make it simple as it's for all stages of the life. Natural ingredients for our pets' food is important and the good ingredients make them probably live a lot longer and not get so fat. I've been purchasing Canidae for over 8 years now and I've recommended it to another friend. I told him that it's good stuff and has a higher calorie content. He was buying some really lower grade dog food but has to feed them twice as much to get the same amount of calories. So, for the price, one can feed the dogs less and be actually saving money.

    Canidae was recommended by the vet. My Golden Retriever was getting old, so the senior blend was recommended. Now I've gone through the Grain Free for my German Shepherd. He's now 5, and he likes the bison flavor. He's a real fussy eater, so I stuck with that. My newest dog is less than a year old. He's a large Poodle Sheepdog mix and Canidae didn't have a grain-free large breed dog food, so he will be changing over soon to the Grain Free Pure. The Grain Free seems to be the best one around, however there seems to be some inconsistency as far as the dark color of the food, though. Some of the kibbles were light. But I'd tell friends that Canidae is a good product. I always use them.

    We have two Dobermanns, Luca and Lea, who are 80 plus pounds, and they are five and six years old. We have a Cocker Spaniel, too. We feed them food with natural ingredients and it has helped with their health and well-being. They don't get treats and it's all they eat. Our female Dobermann has a sensitive stomach so if we don't have her on a high-quality food, then we deal with really bad flatulence and puking. With Canidae, we don't have any of those kinds of issues. Their coats are nice, they've got high energy, and our female Dobermann is not sick. We had to switch to Canidae's Under the Sun since we've been through a lot and the Life Stages was pricey for us.

I liked Canidae really well. I had five dogs at one time and they all ate it. I got down to two dogs but both of them stopped eating it. And the same thing with my cat, she wouldn't eat it anymore either that was why I called Canidae several times to ask them if there had been a formula change because we got a 30-pound bag of it but we only used a little, then the store would not take it back.

But I didn't want to rock the boat and the place where I adopted her thought that Canidae could be a little bit more beneficial. They didn't give it to me as a sensitive diet but they indicated something about dogs with different types of bellies. There's also the fact that it was Life Stages and I wouldn't have to change. So, I just followed their lead 'cause they were the experts and I had just lost my dog a few months prior. Everything worked and I continue to buy it.

They researched too and Canidae also came up top. Casey, our a male Miniature Schnauzer turning eight on the 22nd of this month, is the reason we're living and we want the best for him. Canidae is what we came up with. His weight is pretty much controlled with it.

    He doesn't love Canidae, though. We first got him Ultra. It had the picture of all the vegetables and fruits on the front. He ate that until I bought the 2nd bag and he quit eating it. I've been feeding the canned and the dry. I'd take a couple of tablespoons of the canned and mixed it in with the dry. He'll eat it that way. I called the company and I asked, “Did you change it?" They had taken out a couple of ingredients and changed it for something else. I've tried a number of others. He'll eat the very first time I put it down and then that's it, he won't eat it again.

    But Canidae is made in America and I like that. Canada would be okay, but we don't give him anything that's made anywhere else. Also, when I had a complaint about the dry food, the first bag we bought had so much product dust in the bottom of it and then we complained about it.

And then we also deviate and give them a little bit of table scrap here and there. They’re even a hair overweight because I don’t get out and walking as much as they should of my back issue. But my vet is completely happy with them.

    Canidae also has a great breeding program. If we buy extra amount of bag as a breeder, they make it worthwhile to obtain another bag. And then they have a Frequent Buyer Program. So, if we buy extra amount of bags on a public site, they will give us another bag. There are a few dog food companies that do that but not that many. And we’ve actually been to Canidae’s plant in Norco. I recommend them to everybody that I come in contact with a dog. People would tell us what great good-looking dogs we have and I’d say, “Yeah.

I'm in the breeder program and I enjoy that. Hopefully, they continue the program because after you buy five bags, you send it in, and you get your sixth bag for free. And for every case of dog food, I get one free. That goes as long as you keep feeding and when you feed multiple dogs, it's a great help. I also tell my puppy buyers to use Canidae.

She had cancer and we put her down last year, but she always loved Canidae. We're a big Lab fandom and we got another yellow Lab that eats Canidae as well. She is about nine years old and we adopted her from my father-in-law and it was easy for her to switch over to Canidae as well. Canidae doesn't have a negative impact on dogs when they switched over to it.

    We've been purchasing the Life Stages, which was what was recommended to our first yellow Lab based on her age, and I've stuck with it, especially with the one we have now because she's older. So, I'm always going to stay consistent with that. It is important to feed our pets with food that has natural ingredients just like we wouldn't feed our kid with bad stuff. And if people care about their pet, then they're going to do same for them. Canidae has been good for my dogs. It kept them healthy. We've been purchasing it for ten years now and we've always loved it. I love the reward program as well, which we've always taken advantage of. We always get the 44-pound big bag, and we get a free bag after 12 purchases.

    I have quite a few cats because I head a rescue and I have been buying Canidae for about 20 years for its quality. I have the Savannah and the Domestic Longhairs and Domestic Shorthairs and it keeps them a lot healthier and I don't have the vet bills. They eat less and poop and pee a lot less than if I had them on junk food. But Canidae is difficult to find here. I used to be able to buy it from a distributor in California when I lived there but I'm now in Michigan and the only place that I can find it out here is Petco. Still, I recommend it very highly and I had a lot of people switched over to it.

    I have been using Canidae for my dogs for about nine years. I have a German Short-haired and they are very hyper. Also, I have been running dogs for a long time and some of the trainers that I worked with recommend a high-protein and non-cereal stuff. They call it hot food. So I go with Life Stages because it has high-protein and got less fat. My dog doesn't have any reaction to it. Her stool is always good. Since we travel a lot, you like to have your dog to have a good stool. Another reason why I liked the Canidae food is that when you use a strong dog food, you can feed them less. And while the product itself isn't what I would consider cheap, it goes a long way.

    I got my puppy Chihuahua and I had an adult Scottish Terrier, and Canidae Life Stages was something that I could feed both of them because the adult dog kept trying to eat the puppy food. I started researching and found that I can give the same thing to both of them and that’s how I feed them in a day. Also, it was that time when we had that big dog food scare. I had a friend whose dog died and some of the other dogs died, too.

    I’ve been purchasing Canidae for about 13 years now. The Scottish Terrier has already died but I have a German Shepherd who just turned five and the Chihuahua is now around 12. Feeding my pets natural ingredients is wonderful! My dogs are in excellent condition. I can compare my Chihuahua to my niece’s who was about a year older than mine and her dog is in horrible condition. Also, my German Shepherd had severely dry skin and she doesn't anymore. When I first got her, she was scratching a lot. Besides the other stuff we tried, I just started feeding her Canidae as soon as I got her. I got her when she was three months old, and Canidae made a big difference in her skin. We don't have any health issues now.

    Canidae is the best dog food in the world. My mother tried to feed Canidae to her Shih Tzu who had a lot of skin conditions and it helped. They live in Alabama, so down there they have more sun and stuff in the ground and her dog has done a lot better with Canidae. My daughter in Hawaii feeds her dogs Canidae too. I’d tell everybody I know about Canidae. Some of them won't go with it because they think it's too expensive, but a vet visit is a lot more expensive than paying a little bit more for dog food.

    I like the contents of the Canidae Canned Dog Food. I think the protein/fat content is very good and there is a variety of foods. What I don't like is the flip top on the cans. Most of the canned dog foods that I have are the flip top cans and they are very easy to open. I have a few that are not flip top and I have to use my electric can opener. Canidae flip top cans are extremely hard to pull, in fact in most cases so hard I cannot pull the flip top and have to use my electric can opener which also does not work well on the can. So it is a struggle to get the top off of the can. So that is my complaint about Canidae. Not sure if I will buy the canned food again.

    I like to see ingredients that are good for my dogs and I believe in health and feeding well. My mom did the research and she felt like Canidae was one of the best dog foods on the market based on the ingredients. I had been purchasing Canidae for several years. But the price has gotten so expensive that I just can't do it anymore. It's very unfortunate because I really like the food. But I do dog rescue and I have a lot of dogs to feed and it's just not even realistic. They used to have a program, where if you buy so many and you cut out the UPCs on the back, then you could send them in. You'd have to buy 12 bags and you'd get a free bag and that helped at least. I did that but then when that cut off and the price went up, it wasn't going to work.

    I have all kinds of dogs and I used Canidae for all kinds. I've got young Ret, seniors, and a lot of my dogs are Pit Bulls. I also have a Cattle dog that's probably at least 13 years old and she was on Canidae for years. For the majority of the time that I had her, she was on Canidae. I consider Canidae to be more of the high end price-wise and I periodically buy a bag. I love that Canidae has been so good and I tell anybody who asks me to get Canidae even though I can't afford to do it right now. It contributed greatly to my dogs' well-being because they lived long. A Pit Bull that was on it lived long for a Pit Bull. She's since passed but she did good on it. Canidae makes a difference. If they could reduce the price a little bit though or at least offer the program where when you buy several bags you get a free bag, it would be good. Also, people like me who buy a lot of food consistently should be able to at least get some kind of a volume discount.

    I've been purchasing Canidae locally for several years already. Other dog foods are mostly cereal. So, we purchase Canidae since it is natural and not a bunch of fillers. We have three pets. One of them is a West Highland Terrier and the other two are mixtures of a Maltese Poodle that we inherited from the granddaughter. The little one with pointed ears is a Pomeranian. Feeding our pets with natural ingredients is good and they like it. They took it right away and ate it which was a big thing. We give them some Toppings and they get tired of that from time to time. But they eat the Crunchy faithfully so it's good. With the pets having Canidae, every checkup at the vet was great. They're all out running in the yard now. We'd tell others to try Canidae and see if their dogs like it. It is certainly beneficial to our pets. We came from California and had two cats. So, we also use Canidae’s cat food, and both cats are healthy.

I have been purchasing Canidae food for my Great Dane as soon as she can gnaw up puppy food, and she's seven years old now. Out of nine puppies in the litter, there's only three of them that are still alive and she's one of them. I know it has something to do with that food. My Great Dane is lean and her hips and all her joints are in really good condition. She's never had a tear and her coat is in really good shape. It's like a human being-- if you eat well and you eat good food, you're going to be healthier. I also put my other two dogs on Canidae and they are not large breed dogs. So, they all eat the same food and everybody loves it.

    My brother has a Mastiff, and I told him that he would be making a mistake if he did not put her on this dog food. Canidae is really expensive but I told him to do it if he could afford it. A bag is $55 or $60, and when you have a large breed and they're eating six or seven cups of food a day, it goes fast. And that's just one dog.

    I switched off of grocery store foods 30 years ago because I had a standard poodle that started having seizures. As soon as I switched to natural food, she stopped having seizures. Since then, I have used high-quality pet foods and for the past 5 to 10 years, I've been purchasing Canidae products. The pet store that I like recommended it. I have three dogs and I give them Life Stages. Two are boxer mixes, who are both 50 to 60 pounds. The senior is 15 and the other one, a rescue, is about eight. Then I have a rat terrier who is the youngest at five.

    When Canidae changed to plastic bags from paper bags, the coupon for the free bag of dog food was put on the bottom. Since I use the empty dog food bags for cat litter removal, I couldn't bear to throw out a perfectly good plastic bag. But I also couldn't bear not to cut out the coupon. So I have to start training myself to open the bag from the bottom, which I would try to do but I have an aging memory. Other than that one grumble, my experience with Canidae has been excellent. It's worth the price and reduced my vet bills.

    If anyone has spent any time reading Rodney Habib's work on pet diets knows that what they eat has a considerable effect on their health and longevity. After losing our Labrador Retriever (Jade) at the age of 12, to cancer. We were determined to make some diet changes with our new dog Molly (also a Lab). We scoured the internet for a simple healthy dog food, that was grain free. She has primarily been eating the Pure Elements Lamb version, but we recently introduced her to the Bison based variant. Wow! The first time we gave her the Bison version I thought she was going to eat the bowl too.

    The dog food makes up about half her diet. The other half is a kale mix (from Costco) with romaine lettuce and sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and some sort of fruit. Tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries and an obligatory ration of 4 croutons (she loves the crunch), with about a teaspoon of blue cheese dressing mixed in. She also does get some human food... basically a little of what we are eating for supper. She is particularly fond of any type of squash and whatever meat we are eating. It's been 4 1/2 years now and we are hoping this regimen will help her to maintain her good health until well past her sister's 12 years. Her Pure Elements food is the base which we have built her diet on. Wish us luck.

    My friend gave me a Canidae coupon as a gift and so far, my dog likes the food and I find it very valuable to feed my dog with natural ingredients. He seemed to be losing weight, but maybe he's building muscle. He still has a half a bag to go, so I'm going to see how he does throughout this and decide if I'll continue purchasing Canidae.

    When I first got my Miniature Dachshund, I was giving him something from the grocery store. I took him into a local independent pet store to have a Christmas photo taken and somehow, me and one of the clerks got to talking. She told me that what I was feeding my dog was not a good brand of dog food. She suggested Canidae so I went with it and I've been feeding it to him ever since. I have gotten several bags for free with their offer that when I buy 12, I get 1 bag free. Usually, a bag lasts a little over a month so I take advantage of that once a year for probably four times already.

    Feeding my pet natural ingredients is something I prefer and I wouldn't want it any other way. My dog will be 14 next year and he's at a point now where he's got cataract. It's really bad and he can't see and hear very well. I have to carry him in and out all the time because he falls down our steps in the back. But when he was younger, he was really super active and then, I switched over to Life Stages because it seemed like we were starting to have a real weight problem. We got established on it and he pretty well maintained his weight.

    I was in Florida for almost six months and I could find only one place down there that was convenient to get Canidae. And they never had the Life Stages down there. I always had to buy the Salmon flavor down there but my dog liked it and did well on it. Then a month ago, I gave him the chicken flavor and that gave him bad gas for some reason. So, I went back and got the one he was normally eating. I've got some chicken left but I just mix it in with the other little bit every once in a while and it doesn't seem to bother him too much.

    Canidae offers decent food for a good price but still has the same problems with most kibble and not necessarily as good as human grade natural food without the poor protein additives that are not the poor sources such as peas and fillers that most kibble has.

    These days it's difficult to find something of quality that is also affordable. Canidae meets these requirements. My dogs have allergies & are fussy about their food. I did some research and found Canidae to be a high quality food at a reasonable price. Also, there have been no recalls in the last several years, plus the dogs like it!

    I have a purebred blue nose pitbull and I got her when she was about 12 weeks old from the breeder. The breeder asked me if I have owned a Pitbull before and told me that these dogs have very sensitive skins and are very susceptible to food allergies. I started doing research and looking into raw food diets. I tried doing that for a little bit but that got expensive on a college budget. So, I kept looking for other options and then I found Grain Free. I started off with the Canidae All Life Stages then I switched over once Canidae came out with the Grain Free product. I’ve been giving my dog the elements, the pure and all those other subcategories of Grain Free products and that's all she's had. She's seven years old and everyone asks me how old she is that she looks like a puppy. I told them, "It's just the food and the exercise I give her."

    My dog's a grazer and she doesn't sit there and eat a whole bowl of food. Canidae’s products are formulated exactly what it says on the label and it’s not bad. If you get the Bison and the sweet potato, it's Bison and sweet potatoes that there's no additive. I appreciate that because even if she eats one or two cups throughout the day, she's still an ideal weight at 59 pounds, which is not bad for an old dog. She also got some muscle on her. If you want to put the life of your canine companion, you want to feed them just as good as you feed yourself. As a matter of fact, she eats better than me because she eats bison, ducks and anything. I get her a different bag of PURE every month, just to change it up. She's not a real big wet food so I tried getting the PURE wet food cans as a topper but that's because she's been on kibble her whole life. It's been a wonderful experience over the six years I’ve been using Canidae.

    It’s great that I see Canidae in Petcos, PetSmarts and everywhere now unlike when we moved in a six-month span that there was no Canidae in Petco so I went to a special boutique to buy food. But, Canidae should have a little more variety. There are five brands of PURE but other than that, my dog eats just fine. I bumped into someone at Walmart and I told him what I feed my dog. Then, I bumped into him a couple of days later and he told me he bought the food. I said, "Yup, you can give it to him from puppy all the way to old age. You won't ever have to change your food ever again."

    My daughter recommended Canidae and I've been buying them for 7 years for my two big rescue dogs. The ingredients are good and have any trouble with them eating since I got them to eat it. But the pet store I go to cuts the UPC code off then Canidae switched over to the new plastic-coded bags and they still want the UPC codes collected, which creates holes in the bags. I have to put a small piece of paper on it and cover it with tape, which is a pain. If they're going to do the program where they want the UPC code collected, they better find a different way to collect them. Their new bag sucks.

    We have used Canidae in the past. We have many dogs and it got too expensive because I had to feed a lot more of it to keep the weight where I wanted it, especially on my Old English Sheepdog. Everybody else did fine on it. My Cattle Dog’s coat was shinier and I like that. I have a Dachshund and it stays fat on air. My little Pomeranian didn't like it as much but she likes the neutral lamb and that's her being finicky. Everybody else liked and gobbled Canidae down. But at the end of the day, it's just too much and I felt that there might be something a little bit cheaper and could get better results for my Old English Sheepdog.

    I have a horse farm and my Sheepdog’s out with me doing chores. She's a bit more active dog so I needed to do something different with her. Everybody's usually trying to keep their pets trim but sometimes dogs need a little bit more fattening calories. We're using Nutro now and my little ones really like it. I'm happy with it and it comes in small bites so I don't have to buy them in different kinds. Nonetheless, Canidae is a good product. We don't use it anymore just because of my specific needs. Canidae offered what it said and shine, and I liked it.

I was having problems with hot spots and my dog was not tolerating all the food well. A lady in my neighborhood who is a nutritionist said that Canidae was the healthiest and had the best stuff. So, I've been using it ever since and there were no more hot spots. My dogs have been better. However, it's expensive. I pay $56 for a 44-pound bag.

She knows when it's her feeding time and she's excited about it so that lets me know that she likes the food I'm giving her. They recently changed their label and the bagging which was cool. However, it was a little confusing at first. For the first couple of minutes, I didn't know if I was getting the same type of food that I usually get but it's an easy fix. It's the same bag but with a different color. I usually would buy the small bags but I realize that if I buy the bigger bags, I buy less frequently at the pet store. That makes it easier because they don't sell it everywhere else, only at a few places in particular.

He told me that, if I learn more about it then I get a free bag. I did some of the research and I went through the courses. I really liked that they're a family-owned business, that they've not been bought out by anybody. I also like that they grow their own ingredients on their farm and that it's limited ingredients.

    I used to feed my cats Kitten Chow years ago before I worked in the pet industry. I watched my sister's really old kitty just go downhill super fast from eating the cat chow. When I got into the pet industry, I started feeding my cats healthier diets. They gained some weight, but they're just healthier and have a lot more energy.

It's expensive, but it's better quality food. I change up the varieties because they get bored with some. Sometimes, I get the Senior, sometimes, I get the chicken. We’ve been loyal for probably a few years now and I’m sure if I’m to get a new dog when these passes on, we’ll probably stay with the same one.

    I didn't like the recent change in their packaging, however. They used to have a little zip on it where you can pull it like a peel tab and they did away with that. Now, it's sealed so tight that you had to take scissors and stab into it to open it. It’s very difficult if you can’t get the bag open and you have to rip it in a way that makes pouring the food out of it hard. But the last bag I bought was easier to open than the one they had in between there for a few years and it's brighter.

    The lady whom we bought our Great Dane from suggested that we buy Canidae because Great Danes are particular about their food choices and we have to be careful with what we feed them. Our Great Dane has always had Canidae for 8 years now even though it's expensive. He’s between 120 to 140 pounds and he sleeps more but nothing slows him down when it's time for him to jump around and bounce around like a nut.

    We raised Bulldogs and had done some showing and breeding before I had children of my own. Right now, I only have two dogs and they are nine and six years old. Lots of dogs have been eating Canidae under our care and they always had a healthy weight and healthy coat as well. I've been purchasing Canidae food for close to 10 years now. I used Diamond and some Purina products prior to that but Canidae has all life stages and a variety of protein sources so we switched. I like the program where we buy 12 bags and get the 13th one for free which is neat. I never have to worry about diet or trying to put weight on dogs since Canidae has the right amount of nutrition for them. We tell everyone about the Canidae as it’s the perfect pet food.

    I've been buying Canidae for my pets, which are two Bernese Mountain dogs, for eight years now. It was recommended by our breeder. One of the best things that they do in the location where we buy Canidae is that when we buy 12 bags, we get one free. That's an excellent sales opportunity. Also, the dogs like it and the breeders think that it's the best for the price. So, we're very happy with it.

    I had a pet that had some health issues and I was doing some research and realized that some of the cheaper brands that you buy at your local department store have a lot of fillers and junk. We care about our animals and we wanted to find something. But the more expensive brands that didn't use a lot of those fillers were a little out of our budget. Canidae seems to offer a product though. We use the All Stages and Platinum series for seniors. When we switched over, we had gotten a new puppy. We started out with our puppy then started feeding Canidae to our dogs that were about three at the time. We found that their coats improved, they had a lot of energy and they were doing very well with the product so we've stuck with it. We've been using Canidae for at least three years now.

    We are a large family and we love our pets but it gets costly trying to feed them. But Canidae's program where you get one bag free when you buy 12 has been helpful. All you have to do is cut out the UPCs, fill out the little envelope and take it to the store. We're running about $55 to $60 a bag for the dog food so that's a nice little benefit. We've gotten good results with Canidae and we're very happy.

    When we got our Labradoodle, his breeder used Canidae and we decided we'd just continue it. His name is Toby and he is nine and a half years old now. Life Stages is the one we have always used. He eats them willingly so we continue to use it. Also, I like the fact that he stayed pretty slim at right around 60 pounds and it seems to meet his needs. He is also happy, healthy and always energetic. In addition, I appreciate the fact that every so often you can get a free one. It's part of their program and it takes a while to accumulate enough of them. While it's more expensive than some of the food in the market, we've stuck with Canidae because it has served Toby well.

    Based on the research that was done for me by my ex when we started buying Canidae in 2006, Canidae has less waste, poop washes away easier, and there aren't any by-products or anything in it so it is more natural. Our dogs don't need plastic and stuff in them. If it's a more natural brand, they eat less and I save some money, too. Instead of eight scoops of the cheap stuff, you get three scoops of the good stuff and they're getting all the nutritional value they need. And that's one of the things we liked Canidae for.

    I had gotten Life Stages when I had Shadow, she was an older Pitbull. We had a mix of ages, we had a 12-year old right down to a puppy. We changed three different times, and I even had the special one for a while for Shadow had an allergy. But because I can never get to any place to get the Canidae as I don't travel out of town too much anymore, I've converted to IAMS. I wish Canidae sold their products more locally. I have to drive 45 minutes to get it. And then it's a hit or miss if they have it in stock. If Canidae would ship it to the house and I don't have to buy a big bulk, that would be helpful.

    I have been feeding my dogs with Canidae for 13 years. I want my dogs to eat good and natural food, and that's very important. Canidae has natural ingredients, enzymes, and it’s a full-balanced meal for all stages of growth. It’s also a good quality food that’s affordable. There are some other good quality food out there, but it’s expensive. Feeding four Labrador Retrievers could add up, but it's fair-priced for what I'm getting.

    I had Silver, a nine-year-old, Labrador Retriever. I also had Jazz, a black Lab which we had at four months. She broke her back at five and I helped her recover. She just stayed on Canidae the whole time and she healed up well. With rehab and stuff, she was able to live a full life until 12 and a half. In addition, I have two other chocolate Labrador Retrievers that are five and a half now. We had them since they were six weeks old and they’re very healthy and good dogs. I first started using Life Stages but with Jazz, I used the Canidae Platinum because I couldn’t get her overweight due to her back problem. I had Blue on Canidae Platinum, too, when he got older. All my dogs see the doctor once a year and they get good health reports. They really don’t need it, but the vet says they need to see my dogs. They like Canidae and it's contributed to their good health and well-being.

    Canidae has a high-quality ingredient and I have been using this for my 2 pets(German Shepherd and a Bulldog) for four years now. I'm using the ALS. I liked it because it was something I could begin them on and that it had more protein sources so it's more balanced. That was basically the long and the short.

Also, feeding my pets with natural ingredients is very high on my priority list.

    I've read an article that they've acquired a farm in Kansas and they're going to be doing a lot of procuring their ingredients and bringing that in-house. I think that's very cool.

    I had tried various different brands over the last five years and every six months, my Weimaraner Pitbull mix would develop an allergy to something in every one of them and she’d get sick, and I had to find a new brand that didn’t make her sick that she liked. So, I switched to Canidae Under The Sun just by chance because it was grain free. My husband settled on all kinds of crap when she was a puppy, so she’s got serious liver issues. She has to have a grain-free food. My dog has been using Canidae for twice as long as she was using the other one before she developed an allergy. It’s been two years that I’ve been using this particular brand flavor and she hasn’t gotten sick from it. So, so far so good. I’m really happy with that because it’s kind of hard trying to have to find a new brand, a new flavor that she likes that doesn’t make her sick. I’m absolutely satisfied with Canidae.

    However, I was kind of hoping that Canidae has another supplier besides Petco because I’m disgusted with them right now. Last time I went in to buy my regular-size bag, they raised the price exponentially on that one flavor and that one size. I'm sure I was the only buying that particular flavor there because I noticed that their stock wasn’t really diminishing any from time to time when I’d come in and purchase. I’m going to find another store and see if they indeed rose the price in other stores too or if it was just special for me.

    Also, I had a problem with the wet food. I was mixing her dry food and wet food for a while, but I had to quit using the wet food because about three out of five cans were not good. They were like gray and pasty and smell bad. I was going to take them back, but I never ended up to get them back because I forget to bring the open can with me when I go back to the store. So, I’d buy another one. I finally just quit buying them because I don’t know if it was the manufacturer problem or if it was their stock not being rotated.

    I've been purchasing Canidae pet food for two years for my 3 dogs. I have a Brittany bird dog and a dog named Rascal that are dog 10 years old and another one that's 4 years old. I've tried lots of dog foods over the years and I don't have to ever put the food down with Canidae. My pets go right to it. They always want to eat it and when I come home with a bigger bag, they go near the bag and have a sniff. And if I forget to feed them in the evening, the big bird dog sits over, with his head on the big plastic container of the pet food. I purchase the Life Stages since it's a bigger bag and I get more for my money. The smaller dogs get half a cup of the pet food while the bigger dog gets a cup, twice a day, and they're well-fed. The bag will last me two months. A lot of people say that it’s expensive but I disagree. My pets love Canidae and I’ve recommended it many times.

    I used Canidae for my pet, a Great Dane, for about a year and a half but I don't use it anymore because we don't have that pet. I liked that the one I was buying was all natural and didn't use a lot of fillers. It uses most of the protein base like fish and the first ingredient wasn't grain. I was using another brand before and when I switched to Canidae, my pet perked right up and I was getting good results out of it. She was having problems with her joint then and the vet and I noticed that she was able to get around at it after the switch. She didn't have any allergies with that food and her bowel was even better. Overall, Canidae is a great product that’s good for your pet's health and I really liked it.

    I've been with Canidae for approximately four years now and my dogs love it. I have a Boxer-Pitbull mix and I feed him Canidae Pure. His name is Dash and he's 85 pounds. He's five and a half years old now and not super active. I also have a Chihuahua and I just started using the small batch for her. I chose the Pure ones because I like that it was simple. The Boxer-Pitbull has a really sensitive stomach and the Canidae Pure is a limited ingredient diet that my dogs love ever since I first started. I work for the factory and Canidae was exclusively for us. So it makes it easier for me to sell Canidae to other customers and have them continue coming back. Once I let them know that my dogs loved it, I just kept going on with it and pushing it.

    One thing I really love about the Canidae is that I don't have to feed my Boxer-Pitbull so much of it because it is a limited ingredient and its filling doesn't have all the junk that most dog foods have. I like the quality I'm getting out of Canidae and all the bag of dog food lasts a good amount of time. Also, feeding my pets natural ingredients is very valuable. They eat better, live longer and their health seems better when they eat better food. My mother-in-law doesn't feed Canidae to her dog, who's overweight. Her dog came from the same litter, but my dog looks cleaner and healthier. She doesn't want to spend for the Canidae dog food but I told her that it's worth it. It's a great product and has great results. I'm going to continue trying to sell it.

    We were doing Taste of the Wild but we switched around. The Canidae reps were showing a newer and little less expensive type of dog food called Under The Sun and it was one of the ones we tried. Then we went to the Pure when it came out with more new flavors. Our pet is a 120 lbs. eight-year-old Akita and she's never had any canned or veterinary issues. We've always fed her very healthy food. I tell people all the time about Canidae. Their coupons are also good when we get them.

    I do mostly rescues and my daughter works for a vet, and we work mostly with whatever is there. I have a Pitbull rescue that was an abandoned puppy. I also have a Chihuahua rescue and a Chihuahua mix rescue. I have a puppy that is a year and a half old and she's been on Canidae her whole entire time. My daughter has a dog that's now eight and he's been on Canidae too since he was a puppy. We looked it up on the internet and that was the number one dog food so that's what we get and we've been using it for eight years now. I wish though that it was in the grocery store because I literally have to go one city over to buy it. They're a little bit expensive but I still pay it and it's the cheapest around town. My dogs have been on it forever.

    Canidae changed how to get into the bag. I had a little bit of difficulty just tying it up but now it's fantastic. It’s not a ripoff lid anymore. Now you got to turn around and the way you open it is different. I also like the coupons at the back where you get 12 coupons and get one bag for free. Overall, Canidae is fantastic and I recommend it to everybody. I used to buy crappy pet food at the grocery stores a long time ago but since I have Canidae, my pets look healthy and their coats look healthy as well. I just wish it gets rid of my Pitbull's anxiety issues because that's what I get with the rescues but that's okay. We'll get through it. Other than that, my dogs are beautiful and we love Canidae Pet Foods.

    For eight years, I've been purchasing Canidae for my dogs. I have a year and a half old Doberman, an eight and a half years old Lab mix and another Lab mix that’s 14 and a half years old. I give them Life Stages because that’s the one that goes from the puppies to the older dogs. It was recommended by my vet and said that it's a good one. The pet store I went to also said that it's the best ones they sell. When the dogs are hungry, they chew it down quick. They don't throw up after eating. The dog's coats and teeth look good so I keep feeding Canidae.

    The dogs have a lot of energy with it but they’re not fat. They stay looking nice and healthy. I can feel that their muscles are nice and strong. They also always look like they’re happy. Unlike the other dog food I used to feed them before, they’d either throw it up or just have a bad experience. I'm not feeding them any garbage from China and I found out that other name brands had a mixture in it that dogs don’t digest.

    I’ve been feeding my dogs since I was a teenager. I’m in my 50’s now, so I’ve gone through good and bad experiences. And Canidae is about the only good one. I’ve always recommended it to all my friends and family members. My dogs are here as my pets. They’re not here for me to feed them crap. Overall, Canidae is a great food and hopefully it helps the dogs live longer a happy and healthier life.

    I've been purchasing Canidae Life Stages for about 4 years now. I read about it having a lot of Omega-3, so I gave it to my pets. I had a lot of dogs here at my house at the time. I have two right now. I have a Pomeranian and the long-haired Chihuahua, which had really dry skin. The Chihuahua was the one that benefited from the Canidae pet food. Feeding my pets natural ingredients is really good to keep their weight down. They're both older dogs so it's important. They've always eaten really well. I had a little picky dog and she even liked Canidae, so it's good. I like it and I'll keep buying it. Overall, Canidae is a great dog food and company.

    We rescue a lot of animals and sometimes we get them a home but 99% of the time they end up staying with us. So my whole family has 15 dogs total. My mom Googled from different brands that are supposed to be healthy and all around better and we chose Canidae. All of our dogs have been eating it for close to a year now and they haven't had any problems so it could be a huge breeding factor. We also get the big one and I like that I get a free bag after a certain amount. That's very helpful since we have so many dogs.

    We’ve had up to four large dogs at one time but right now we have two, a Belgian Shepherd and a Pit-bull mix. We had dogs of various ages and they're each about five years apart. I've been buying Canidae Life Stages for a couple of years now. At that particular store, there is a buy eight, get one free reward program and that's why I buy Canidae. It's pretty expensive though. We get the "Big Bag" and it's like 60 pounds. It's huge but that lasted as little as two weeks when we had all four and now it would last just over a month. But it's a quality product and the dogs stayed healthy for a long time.

    There was the big scare several years ago on dog food. There’s a disease linked in the local Purina so we went to the holistic food, Canidae. And my experience has been fine. We have several pets and we’ve been feeding them Canidae over the years. Most of them are Dalmatians and Labradors, 10 to 12 of them over the few years.

    We’re paying the extra money so we could feed our pet natural ingredients. We give them Life Stages. Though the Lamb and Rice is a good food, it gives them gas and we can’t live in the house after that. But when we switched initially, I found out that we fed them less. We started out feeding them the same amount but they started getting really fat. And so, I started feeding them less which made less of a mess in the backyard and they’ve just done real well on it. And I’ve compared the money feeding them the Purina and the mass produced stuff versus the Canidae. And since I’m feeding them less, the dollars actually work out about the same.

    However, the loyalty program sucks. I live in a very small town and I used to buy my food in Las Vegas just because that’s the only place where we could get it. Then my local store got a couple of bags as a trial. I talked to them and got them to carry it regularly. So they applied for the loyalty program so that I could do the 12-Bag Get 1 free. I did that for a couple bags and then finally, the guy came up to me and said, “Hey, we have yet to receive any credits for any of these that we’ve sent in and so, we can’t do the Loyalty until we start getting some payment for this outlet.” And you can’t blame him one bit. So, until that issue is resolved, I end up not getting the benefit of the loyalty program which increases my cost 10%. But Canidae is good food and I’ve already recommended them.

    We have two Border Collie mixes and they were rescues. We chose to give them Canidae because it's non-preservative. We've been giving them this pet food for ten years now. The Life Stages was the one recommended when we first got them but now that they're seniors, it’s a mix of a senior formula and the chicken and rice. The newest dog we adopted had some stomach issues so that’s what works. The reason I picked Canidae is that my mom had a dog and that dog had a horrible skin condition which was constantly like that. There were hot spots all over and constantly bleeding from scratching itself so bad and they ended up having to put the dog to sleep. That dog got tons of cortisone shots. So when we were going to get our first dog, I researched and realized my mom's dog's condition was probably from all the crap in the dog food.

    Canidae seems to have worked and my dogs had no issues. The latest rescue has terrible issues because he was never been in a home. He was in a kill shelter and was being fed with that disgusting Pedigree. He was eating six cups a day. We're supposed to give the new dog a pet food that's mix half and a half so he could get used to the Canidae. But the new dog took one sniff of the other dogs’ food and wouldn’t even touch his mixed food. Instead, he went straight to the Canidae and now he only eats three cups a day of the Canidae. We’re completely satisfied with the dogs’ health and nutrition and we'll recommend Canidae.

    I have a five year old German Shepherd, which is about 90 pounds, and then a six year old Labrador, which is approximately 50 pounds. When I went to the vet, my dog was experiencing stomach issues with the regular dog food that was out there on the market. The vet then recommended Canidae out in Mountain Valley, California and so I went there. I love it because it has been recommended and I've been purchasing it for my pets for three years now. I feed my dogs Life Stages because we ended up having Yorkies later on and they like the food. I also wanted to just purchase one dog food that would suffice for all the animals. Every time I serve it, they’re more than willing to eat it. There’s never tipping of the bowl like they didn’t like it.

    Also, I take them in for their check-ups annually and there’s never been an issue, weight-wise or health-wise. I’ve tried the other major brands and they tend to tip the bowls over or they’ve gained weight. Both the German Shepherd and the Labrador had put on weight with the cheaper food and it wasn’t good for us. I’m a first pet owner, so feeding my pets natural ingredients is the most important on my list of priorities for my pets. Canidae is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    I've been purchasing Canidae for more than three years. It was carried locally and it had more of the ingredients that we're looking for. I've got three German Shepherds, one is eight, and two one-year-olds and we've got different Life Stages for dogs, from puppies all the way down to adult. The biggest teller I use is how little stool they have and the health of their coat. Also, German Shepherds have sensitive guts, but they have never been sick. It's been great for my dogs' health. But, the food doesn't have glucosamine chondroitin. There are other foods with it and we thought about switching, but Canidae has everything else that we need. So we just give them a supplement of glucosamine.

    Thank you for your review. We are very happy your GSD's are doing so well with CANIDAE. We do not add supplemental glucosamine and chondroitin but rather rely on the amounts that naturally occur in our selection of premium ingredients. For example, our premium chicken protein is an excellent source of glucosamine and chondroitin.

    We have chosen to guarantee a minimum level of glucosamine and chondroitin in our Large Breed adult formula.
