Not only do I know that they will eat it right away but it produces a lot less poop. With all the other kinds of food we would see it just sit there for hours and hours. Even the red streaking from his eyes has almost cleared up after a month along with Similasan eye drops. My new Yorkie came from a puppy mill.
I'm so disappointed, and no notice on the bag about the new formulation" The old stuff worked GREAT, but I'm sure to save a few bucks, they've changed to cheaper ingredients.
One expensive vet bill later, the vet said it is an "allergic reaction." I do not want my dogs to be miserable with allergies!
If you have seen a blog concerning something about Acetaminophen being in Canidae, that is false. Some lady said she had Canidae and some other foods tested by putting them in a baggie together, and any way it was a false allegation but the internet spreads rumors like wildfire. I live in a small town and found no dog food that didn't contain mainly corn. This was perfect and my new pet is doing very well on it and loves it.
She ate Beneful for a year before switching. This goes down much easier.
Their response was: "Our economy and industry is faced with challenging times, commodities and energy cost are at an all-time high and continue to sky rocket." They ended their response with this condescending comment: "We have also had a lot of positive feedback from our women shoppers who love the new sizes as they can handle them much better when unloading them from their car." I have no idea what they put in it that tasted so good; it's like the crack cocaine of dog food. She has never been a finicky eater, she'll pretty much eat anything voraciously, but this stuff really rocked her epicurean world. The dogs feel great, the kennels stay clean, and the owners have peace of mind. I am a strong supporter of any feed company that puts together an all-natural - excellent ingredient product and have tried many, but I'm completely sold on Canidae.
I bought two bags, this formula for my old, 140 pound dog, and lamb meal and rice for my 1 year old. They had loose stools the entire time. Through this surfing and sifting of information, what was good, explanation of terms, and eager for any information I could get and then pursue, I ended with Canidae All Life Stages Dry. There were others under consideration, but considering cost, balanced with good nutrition, supplements included in the food, and availability, I opted for Canidae.
This used to be a great food, but they've changed the formula and my dogs have suffered. Their customer service is very rude. All 3 of my dogs had bad reactions, and I even did a gradual change over because I was told ahead of time (by my friend) that they changed the formula. My one golden scratched himself raw to the point I had to take him to the vet. At least I finally know what's wrong with my dog, and that it's been happening to countless others. We've had dogs and cats for years and always fed them Science Diet or Iams.
Loose stools...and they only eat it if they are hungry. LAUNDRY CABINETS.
