A week later our other dog broke out in hives and had to be rushed to the emergency room. They gave her shots and they slowly went away.
However, neither of my dogs (even my "chowhound") is crazy about it. They eventually did eat it, but it took a lot of coaxing.
My Papillion was at the proper weight but still getting 1.5 cups of Flint River a day. We decided to switch foods and after much debate we chose Canidae.
She's kind of tired of it, but we know it is good for her and won't hurt her. I have been feeding Canidae for a long time, and when my local carrier raised their prices to $70+ without taxes, I figured I needed to start buying online.
Almost immediately after feeding the dogs, my Mastiff became very ill, Bloated belly, diarrhea and lethargic. The next day my Schnauzers became ill with the same symptoms. I had seen some stuff online though at first stating that it caused their dogs to be sick and I was worried about feeding them it the first time. However, I've had no problems so I think it was just a bad batch not too long ago. Also, each day, her coat seemed less shiny and she had a ton of dandruff, and scratched like crazy. After only a week on Canidae (I'm gradually mixing more and more of it in, and decreasing the Eukanuba) she's stopped itching, and her poop is way more solid and far less frequent. I have to order these all the time due to the 12.5 pound bag. My husky kills a bag in roughly two weeks due to her size. I didn't want to pay $2 a pound for a high quality food and Canidae was just right for my budget and quality needs. My dog loves it (but you can't really judge it on that alone as he is a lab and will eat anything) however his coat is nice, his stool is the right consistency, and he is hardly ever ill.
I still use kibble because it's the fastest way to feed them a meal first thing in the morning before I let them out to go potty. So gross, but that's why we covered our couches in blankets that were easily washed.
The dogs go nuts over it like a crack addiction! I am very happy that I have found a solution that is applicable to both dogs!
My dog has eaten this food for years and years until, out of the blue, my local grocer decided not to sell it anymore. I then had to grab a bag of food for her because we were out completely and decided to get Beneful.
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. My Mom picked up this Newman's food because it was available at the grocery store. They love the food, but what really surprises me is that his ears and skin have improved dramatically.

It's unfortunate that Canidae didn't announce that they were going to change the formula because it's making a lot of dogs sick due to the sudden change in food. OCR SCANNER REVIEW.
