Just What I Was Expecting - Canidae Dog Food Review

By Alexa Foster


She's hard to keep weight on, but this food is good for that as it has a very high energy content compared to most kibbles. I do feed partially raw & partially kibble, not just Canidae, so perhaps that makes a difference to how well the dog does on it.

My husky has always had problems with digestive issues and this seems to be one dog food that she likes and does not have problems with. On a side note, I wish Newman's offered a bigger size bag. So, I couldn't believe it when I found it here - Amazon really does sell just about everything! My Shih Tzu's like it and they do not get sick at all like they did periodically on the non-organic but still expensive, "vet-recommended", brands. Can't beat the price with S&S! Also love that they come in smaller resealable bags which keeps the food fresh. Even my dog's teeth are cleaner since being on it. I have 4 adult Shih-Tzus and while they do prefer it when I cook for them, they do eat this and it has helped eliminate the brownish tear stains they get when I feed them some dry foods.

It is not like other cat foods that are like McDonalds for pets. No sudden highs and lows after eating.

The price for the amount is also very good considering it is all organic but sadly my dog hates it. She smells it and walks away and when I try to hide the food she finds her way to eat around this food. At first I was worried the smaller bite size might interfere with good tartar control, but now months on this food NO TARTAR. At all, and my one dog had had a tartar control problem for a long time.

No ingredient should be meal or by product. I had to pick up a grocery store brand after running out of our regular Innova dog food. My little (10 and 13 pounds) dogs love it, easy to eat small bits, and it's a high grade food source for them. What more can I say. Then I heard about Newman's Own Organics, which is rated a better dog food than the "breed-specific" food I was using and cost $$ less! And then I discovered that I could buy this food at Amazon, have it shipped on a regular basis to my home with no shipping costs and a discount on the food for signing up for the subscription plan delivery - no brainer!

You are most probably not aware what crap meats and fillers are used to produce the most popular name brand foods. They are expensive because of the advertising.

I am so thankful. She is really doing well and she is a very sweet girl and looks at me with grateful brown eyes.

We tried pretty much every brand that you can buy in pet shops and always had problems with my dog scratching or having her ears get bright red. We found out the problem after one of the cases where she almost went into renal failure after eating her Milkbone treats. 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.
