    We've been buying Canidae for seven and a half years. A friend of mine recommended it and she had been using it for many years. I have a 7.5 year old, black lab and she's healthier than our last dog and her samples are good because of Canidae. The only thing that we weren't happy about was the price increase and that they made a smaller bag. We've had a container for the seven and a half years that used to be overflowing and now it doesn't even fill up but we would recommend Canidae.

    My dog developed an allergy, so I did the Canidae Chewy because it had simple ingredients and it would be easy to figure out what my dog might be allergic to. I rotate the different flavors and she does well on all of them. Sometimes, removing the grains would also help and that worked for her. She stopped chewing her paws and her coat came back. Her coat has never been shinier on any other brands. She’s a black Lab. If her coat’s really dull, it’s really obvious. But if her coat’s really shiny, she sheds a lot less. With Canidae, the result was very good and consistent and she seems to enjoy the food. That's what I like about the food and that it's reasonably priced considering all the good ingredients that are in it. Since then, I've been very happy with Canidae.

    I did my research and Canidae was one of the best pet food in terms of ingredients and it wasn't quite as expensive as the others. Also, one of the things I like about them is if I buy the big 40-pound bags, every tenth bag I get is a free one. I get the Platinum PURE with grain-free, bison, and duck because I have one dog that's allergic to grain. My dogs are a little healthier now, and they don't seem to get fat like they do from other pet food.

    Canidae is a great food and my dogs love it. I have a Golden Retriever and a Doberman Pinscher. The Doberman was having lots of issues with skin allergies, he's allergic to a lot of things. I talked to someone and he said that Canidae didn’t have all fillers like the other food. The other food was cheap but we had to feed him a lot and he pooped all the time. So I put them on Canidae and it's worth it and I was happy with it. Then we have a 1-year-old puppy and he's not able to tolerate the regular Canidae, so we ended up going with the grain-free stuff.

    I’ve been using Canidae for my pets for eight years. I had a breeder friend try it before and he got great results. When I asked why his dog looked great and what it ate, I was told that it was Canidae Life Stages. I had two dogs who kept having food allergies like hives and when I put them on Canidae, it cleared them up and they have been the happiest ever since. The only downside is that sometimes, depending on the location, it’s hard to get since not all stores carry it. But I definitely recommend it. I will be signing up for the Canidae breeding program and including that on my website, like a lot of my breeder friends have.

    I researched Canidae company and their ingredients and thought I'd give them a try and I've been buying it for nine years now. My dogs have been happy and healthy since I switched - I currently have a 13-year-old Cardigan Welsh and a 5-year-old Staffordshire terrier mix. I've also been buying their Life Stages for so long. At the time I chose it, it met what I thought my requirements were for my dogs' activity level. It's very valuable for me to feed my pets natural ingredients, although I alternate the Canidae with an Alpha Feed and raw diet as well. That way my pets get some raw and Canidae is the kibble. Overall, I found Canidae to be a good and trustworthy product. They don't seem to have any of the negative PR that some of the other supposedly high-quality dog food have. Their price has remained consistent as well. They're fantastic and I have confidence feeding it to my dogs - their coats look great and they're healthy. I recommend them all the time too.

    I chose Canidae because of the quality of ingredients and the cost. It's probably the best middle-of-the-road food I could find that I could afford to feed my pets, as well as the quality. I've been purchasing it for all my pets for about two years now. I have six dogs ranging from two years all the way up to thirteen years and we also have six cats, and it's very important for us to feed them natural ingredients. Ever since we switched from the junk food brand, they've had a lot less problems and digestive issues. It has improved the quality of my pets' lives and they seem to be happier. I also enjoy the fact that they have the rewards program. Every time I buy 12 bags I get the 13th bag free. I like the rewards program that way since if I just save the UPC symbols, I can trade them in at pet stores.

    We have been purchasing Canidae for at least five years. It is good food for our pets and we like their breeder's program because we wouldn't be able to afford Canidae if it weren't for the program. We have eight German Shepherds. Our youngest is five months and the oldest is 10. We feed Life Stages to our retired dogs who are just laying around the house and not performing in anything nor breeding. Then we feed the premium grain-free to the breeding and competition dogs.

    Before Canidae had the Puppy Foundations, Canidae wasn't agreeing with our puppies. They would have runny stools so we would have to buy a different brand. But ever since the Puppy Foundations came out, they're doing great on it. So we are able to keep everybody on Canidae without having to buy any other brand so it is really good. We recommend Canidae to all our puppy buyers.

    Canidae is good quality food, has great service. We've been buying Life Stages for years as it's good for all stages. Since we have three cats with different years between them, it's gotten really hard to feed just kitty food so that's one of the reasons we went with it. Our dog has always been on the food recommended for middle-aged dogs and we've recently just started him on the one for the older dogs and he loves it. It gives them a longer, healthier life. We have a lot less little bombs going on in the house and cleanup in the yard is simpler. It also gives them a nice, cleaner coat. The fat that they seem to like it is the best reason for buying the food.

    I have two dogs, poodle terrier mixed breeds, that were on Iams. I tried this brand and found my 10 lb dog could not chew the kibble. I tried breaking up the kibble unsuccessfully in the food processor, putting it in a plastic bag, and using a meat tenderizer...no luck...and soaking it with chicken broth and only the outer part of the kibble would soften, but the nugget was still rock hard. I am most disappointed with the lack of caring customer care at the company. I called the company directly and the girl I asked basic questions to did not know the answers, e.g., What is the percent of meat and what percent are the other ingredients?

    My one dog was defecating twice and much. The color was different and not to be gross but it was wet and not solid. I left my name and number. No callback. Later I emailed and got Beth who was vague in her responses like stating, "Meat is the first product listed." Yeah, thanks Beth, I see that. Several emails later and proof of a purchase code provided Beth still needed some other code to identify the patch. And then Diane came into the picture after several days and wasted email frustration with Beth...and Diane was an identical twin to Beth. She never answered the questions either but sent me a long email telling me how great Beth was...WOW. Good luck with this business plan at your high price point and terrible customer service. I am going back to IAMS. THANK YOU for a horrible experience that I paid for having when I purchased your poor product.

The lifespan of a Great Dane is 7-10 years and he still has lots of energy. How I take care of him and his diet are contributing to his health and well-being. When it comes to Canidae, I always check the planner on the side that tells all the nutrients and I mix it up. I'm trying to keep something that'll keep my dog's coat shiny and not dry his skin. I mix up the Large Breed, Life Stages and the Energy one. I got the yellow one to fill a day. One thing I didn't like about Canidae, however, was that at one point it was possible to trade in can tags for a free bag but they bumped it up to 12.

    I have two dogs, one is an older Golden Retriever and the other is a younger Golden Retriever. I was trying the grain-free to see if it made a difference in any way but it doesn't seem to. Now I'm using a regular All Stages for the younger dog and I've started using the Overweight and Older dog formula for our other one. I appreciate the Frequent Buyer Plan that Canidae have.

    I've raised quite a few dogs with Canidae, one of which was a Bouvier des Flandres that lived until he was 12 years and 3 months, which is a ripe old age for a hundred pound dog. I've been using it for well over 13 years now. I'm a breeder and on the breeder program, which makes it very expeditious for me to use that. Not only that, but everybody does well on it. I have a new Bouvier that's a retired show dog, and she's eating it. I've also raised two Dobermans, a Standard Poodle, and a Parson Russell Terrier on it. So it's been wonderful, and it's for both bigger dogs and smaller dogs. The kibble’s the right size. I also used to breed Persian cats, and the remaining cats that I have are still on Canidae cat food, the Felidae.

    It's very valuable to feed natural ingredients to my pets. It doesn’t prevent all their problems. Some of them are genetic and you can't fix that with food, but I'm very satisfied with it. I work at the Pet Supply Center in Sarasota, Florida and we sell more Canidae every weekend there than most stores do in a month. And I'm very happy, very pleased with the 44-pound bag. That’s the one I use.

    We have a Weimaraner, a high energy dog. We fed Canidae to him for about three years, but we went away from it and bought food from Costco that was recommended by a friend. It was about half the price and the nutritional content seemed to be really good and impressive. We fed it to him for about a year or so. I'm not sure what the problem was, but the bottom line is we got what we paid for. We noticed a definite change in our dog's physical appearance. He seemed to be losing muscle tone and acted like he did not feel good at all.

    One night, I looked online and I realized that there were all kinds of complaints against Costco dog food, about it being horrible for dogs. So we switched our dog back to Canidae. We've been buying the Complete Stage for him. Now, he's nine. He's been back on it about three-and-a-half years and he's back to his old self. He looks great and seems to be doing well with Canidae.

When they're done eating, they both check each other's bowl to make sure if there's any left. They just absolutely love the canned food. We always buy the canned food by the case, so we make sure we always have enough here.

I'm very happy with feeding my pet natural ingredients. I've been using Canidae natural pet food for two and a half years and I'm happy with the product.

    One of our black Labrador dogs have had Canidae for about six years and the other one for over 13. My dogs loved the All Life Stages and it makes a bit of difference in their fur coat. I've noticed a huge difference between it and another food and I've turned three other people into using Canidae.

    I've been purchasing Canidae Pet Food for more than 10 years. A trainer recommended it to me and it's the only food that I always get my dogs. I like the Life Stages brand because it comes with the 44 lbs. The pets are getting sick all the time but with it, they die from natural causes. I really like it because with this food, when they go to the bathroom, it doesn't smell as much compared to the other pet food and also it's soft, filled with water.

    We really like Canidae. We've been using it for a year and a half and I'd recommend it because it's a great product with great value. We just raised a litter of puppies with it and though we don't do immunizations, they seem like they're really healthy. Feeding our pets natural ingredients is really important and Canidae doesn't have grains so we feel there's less GMO in it. We feel GMO causes cancer. It does have wheat and we don't know if it's GMO or not, but that's as close as it gets to no GMO.

    I thought that Canidae was going to be a good brand and had looked in Dog Food Advisor or petfoodadvisor.com and the manager at the store recommended it. I liked that Life Stages came in a 44 lb bag because I was feeding two different ages of dogs. It was working great at first but the dogs were having intestinal issues with the last bag that I bought. I didn't really attribute it to the dog food at first but there was something wrong with them. They were having a lot of gas and diarrhea so I just switched them off of it in the last couple of days. I could tell immediately the gas issue was almost gone within the two days I switched them off. .

It's what the pet store recommended when I switched from Nutro. He doesn't eat table food. I'm happy with both Nutro and Canidae.
