A Laser Light Display Of Awesomeness - California Natural Dog Food Critique

By Alyssa Reed


Buy this food, you will not be disappointed! My dogs are in love with Canidae Maintenance Formula for All Life Stages, and so am I.

I certainly would say, conditionally, this is turning out to be a good food for my dog and would suggest it to others looking for a quality food. It's been about 2 months now on Canidae. It is supposed to arrive a week after the 17th, which means it will have taken 2 weeks to get my delivery. Not a big deal if you are waiting on something frivolous, but food for you pets should be delivered more quickly.

I found this dog food after doing research to help my dog's allergies (2 Goldens). My dog had terrible allergies and she has been on Canidae All Life Stages for about 5 weeks now.

I did some research and found Canidae, which only uses high-quality ingredients from the U.S.A. My dogs like it just as much as Iams and Science Diet and I feel great because they're eating healthier food.

I'm still not happy about this incident. I decided not to pursue it any longer, but I still feel people should know. You will notice a big difference in energy as well as skin and coat. A lot of senior dogs switch to the ALS formula and have more "zoomies" and more energy than on other lower quality diets.

But if you think about how people react to a healthy diet in the beginning it makes sense. It takes time for the taste buds to adjust and not want the artificial ingredients put into most of the food out there. In fact, my cat loves the new formula even more than the old. She's getting a little fat. I checked my bag of food and found nothing written as far as NEW FORMULA. I cooked them all boiled chicken and rice and the symptoms went away.

I adopted a rescue dog who had an allergy to corn. I checked every bag in local stores but all main fillers were corn.

No one, including myself, has been successful in getting any sort of satisfactory reply from Canidae when asked if they had changed formulas, ingredient suppliers, etc. I'm disappointed, Canidae was one of the few 'quality foods' that had not raised prices significantly over the past year and was still affordable for most dog owners. I ordered directly from Pet Food Direct before I saw the negative reviews here. So after delivery, I decided I would make the transition slowly. They clearly have a dangerous quality control problem. I tried many different types of dry food for my picky eater, a cavalier King Charles spaniel.
