Side by Side Comparison of: Hill's Science Diet vs CANIDAE

I have tried all of the really expensive premium types of dog food like Blue Buffalo and by far my dog likes this the most. Also it is one of the few that gives him healthy stools. For eight months I wasted money on these other "premium" brands that my dog hated. I know this particular recipe contains more calories than say Blue Buffalo but I have a Doberman who I run with. I am not exactly worried about the excess calories because this contains grain.

Man I feel like a lazy sack for saying this, but having a 40-lb bag of dog food dropped at your door... Sweet!!!In all seriousness, this is great option for Prime members who are small, elderly, or otherwise limited physically.Now of course the same people would need help getting the package inside, but the delivery is more than half the battle!The food is vet-recommended (yes, by mine and a bazillion others) and has done a great job keeping my pups healthy. Don't listen to all the crackpots who say it's full of nuclear pesticides and spotted owl meat -- this is a good balance of the ingredients dogs need to live healthy lives. It's food, so your dog may not necessarily agree! :D

The dog seems to love it.A bunch of my friends and I have all "standardized" on this dog food so that we have no issue with dog sitting or feeding dogs at each other's houses. All the dogs have done well on this food. Almost all of the dogs are "working dogs" which means high energy and constantly looking for ways to help. They range in size from about 40lbs to 90lbs. The science diet rep assured us that they all fell into the proper size range for this food.We've been feeding with science diet for decades. No .. problems .. ever. More to the point, Science Diet dog food was safe the other year when other brands were poisoning dogs with melamine. Some of those poison brands were dang expensive too.Other than the dogs scarfing this stuff down when offered and the dogs being healthy, what's to say?

I'm so glad that I don't have to go to a pet specialty store to track this down now. I used to have to make a special trip once a month for dog food, remember to bring my coupons or pay $50/bag, and then have to lug it around the store to the car and then into the house. I am so thankful that Amazon has this service to deliver this product now. I will never go back to the pet store to buy my dog food again!I switched my Goldendoodle​ from Purina to Science Diet when she was a puppy. She was having a lot of dietary issues, vomiting, diarrhea, and the like. I was desperate to have her feel better. The vet recommended switching her over to Science Diet and I am so glad that I did! Since switching over about 6 months ago - we have not had any issues with upset stomachs or diarrhea.

I have two dogs, a Beagle and Newfie/Lab mix and they have been on Kibble and Bits for some time. Occasionally the Newfie would dump the bowl out and also throw the food up. The bowl dumping was getting more frequent so I figured is was time for a change.I did some research trying to find something middle of the road in price, but of decent quality. I found that reviews are mixed no matter what you get or how much you spend. So with that in mind I went for this brand, which got decent reviews an is reasonably priced. I also wanted an adult food that might help the Newfie drop a few pounds.So far so good. I mixed the food for a few days and gradually got them on the Science Diet 100%. They both seem to like it fine. No more bowl dumping or throwing up. Their stools look good and it even seems to smell better to me (the food not the stools) - if that makes any difference. I notice them going for the food more than in the past where it would sit until they had to eat it or go hungry - at least that's how it appeared.I did find it local and about the same price, so I don't know that I will put my UPS driver through having to deal with that heavy package again.

Over many years of owning Golden Retrievers and Labs the only food we ever gave them was Science Dog food......... the same using Science Cat food for our felines......... My Goldens live to be almost 16 .....of course along with this came good exercise and clean water each day.......When I saw the cost was going so high I got a bit concerned......and then I found Amazon had it for a price I was willing to pay.......love the free shipping and having a bag come each month........living in a small town in Montana makes it difficult to get to the City to purchase dog and cat food in the winter.......but the mail must go through......at least I'm hoping that is still their policy....... =^..^= ^..^Here it is 5 months later and I have noticed that the price is going up and up each month.....Today, January 23, I noticed that they had it cheaper than I was paying monthly. Called them up and they did give me the price of $36.00.. Said they didn't know why the mixup....Makes me wonder since when I first called they said the prices go up and down and I said mine just goes up and up....... So what's the story??????? started out in the thirties and now is in the forties........ Don't see how......... Have it on auto monthly .......thought that was suppose to be the cheapest way to go....guess not.... Am I confused or do "they" get you signed up and then raise the price......Hope not, as my pets have always like the product and done well........ In the forties is what I can get it for "up the road" a bit.......... Figure I can load up for the winter months as to not have to travel when weather is bad........Hate to have to do so but with a large dog every penny counts............. Guess my point here is to watch the internet for best prices every month and make sure you can't get it cheaper in or near your home town. Still rate the product A-1 just not the price $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...............Cheers!

I love this exact style, the Lamb and Rice formula, for my 1 year old English Bulldog female. The chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish formula had a protein that didn't agree with her and cause horrendous hair loss, but I decided not to give up on Canidae. When I adopted her she was on lamb and rice with a different brand, so I tried out Canidae's formula and it's perfect. Her coat is so soft and barely sheds. It's smooth and shiny, and, being 55 lbs, eats 2 - 3 cups per day/24 hours. She's rarely hungry outside of her breakfast and dinner, so it keeps her full with 1 cup in the morning and 1 in the evening most of the time. Sometimes I give her a cup in the afternoon. Her weight is perfect for her size, and her folds rarely get irritated except in the extreme desert heat (don't worry we keep her inside with A/C mostly during summer but the hottest of desert summer seems to affect her folds a bit).

I switched our dog's food from Purina one over to Canidae, our dog has loved it from day one. One of the things we noticed, is that our dog's weight and digestion has become normal and were it should be at. With the previous food our dog would gain weight and constantly have issues when going potty. I highly recommend this product to my family and friends.

My Corgi has been eating this brand since she was a puppy because I didn't want to feed her puppy food for fear that she would grow too fast with the extra protein. This all stage dog food was exactly what I was looking for. I really have no complaints about this brand - we tried a different flavor previously and when we switched over to this, she didn't experience any stomach problems. She's pretty healthy, but then again, she's only 1 right now. She also loves to eat, so she definitely enjoys eating this.

We switched to this food when our new puppy started to eat the same amount as her big brother, and the Natures Variety food that we were buying was only being shipped in a 27lb bag. Now, that food was only a fe dollars less than this brand of EXCELLENTLY rated dog food (it gets five stars on the Dog Food Analysis website : http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/ ). It is a grain free food, and the dogs are thriving on it. But, the best part, is that it comes in a 44lb bag and gets us thru a few more weeks worth of feedings. We could easily go thru one 27lb bag of the Natures Variety in six weeks with our two shelties. I want to be able to give my dogs the best possible food that I can afford, so getting 17lbs more in a bag makes a HUGE difference!
The dogs love the kibble - and if you are switching I highly suggest that you taper in the new food with their old food until their bellies get used to the new recipe. We did this over the course of three weeks, blending more each week until they were finally eating entirely all new food with no problems.

We've been feeding our dogs this for at least 10 years, and that includes puppies and seniors. It's very well balanced, and we never have a weight problem with our dogs. Their stools are nice and firm, and really, isn't that what it's all about? Their coats are nice and shiny, they love the food, and no one has had any allergic reaction to it.

It's medium-small sized dry bits are fine for our miniature schnauzers, and larger breeds. I think dogs smaller than 10 pounds might struggle with the size.

To be honest, there was a recall on this food a couple of years ago. I did try another brand, and wasn't as happy with it. Our dogs gained weight on the same amount of measured food, and I had difficulty locating the same flavor two times in a row at the same store.

We bought this food because it was in the "Whole Dog Journal" top ten food list and compared to everything there, it was the best price. We do add a big tablespoon of Wellness canned at mealtime. They all love it, and so do we.

Excellent product, which my dogs like, but be careful when you place the order that you are sent the right Science Diet brand. Last time I reordered they sent large bites, not small bites. Very annoying.

My dog likes the taste. His waste has been very solid since starting this which was a problem in the past for my dog. It is hard to beat the price as well.

We've been feeding this to our five year old standard schnauzer since we rescued him at 13 months, and he's never been sick in that time and always has plenty of energy and a nice coat. Minus one star for the grain content, but we can only afford for either the dog or the children to eat grain-free paleo, so guess who wins! The big bag opens easily without scissors, which is a plus. Honestly, we started using this food because it's what all of our local relatives feed their various sized spaniels and it simplifies logistics when visiting. That said, we've got no complaints other than the grain content, and the fact that crumbs rub off easily on your hands if you want to grab a kibble for an impromptu treat for training. Solid product in a solid package.

I like the price and am under the impression its healthy food. My dogs are super healthy and have a nice shinny coat with Science Diet. The one dog eats it up so fast I don't think she ever taste it. The other dog is a bit more selective and would actually prefer a different brand. They are city dogs so I have to pick up their poop, which is always nice and solid with Science Diet.

My dogs love this food very much. I have two mixed breeds hound/lab/pit mix. They gobble it right up and no digestive distress: vomiting etc. ( even before a long car ride! ). I like the fair price on this dog food. If they keep the price fair, I will continue to buy. The shipping is very fast.The bad: They need to box it better MORE tape please. It always arrives damaged ( very typical of FedEx handling ), so, please take note of this. Use more tape to seal the box.

I started my 13 month old pit bull on this food after I took him off his puppy food (which was NOT Science Diet.) Immediately is saw a difference in him within 3 weeks. Within that time I noticed more energy, more stamina, additional muscle strength, and increased brain development. It was VERY apparent and noticeable. I, and others in the home noticed the difference. We were, to say the least, impressed. The cost was not very much more per pound than his previous food made by "Wells." I'm sold, and will continue to keep him on advanced fitness. Also, he does not consume nearly as much per day as he did of "Wells," which is a great bonus. It has a great taste appeal, because my Pug is always trying to sneak his food. So do the cats. So it must taste good, even though the kibbles are large, they still try to steal the Pit' s food.

Dogs like/eat it. No issues. It has been going up in price. Switched several years ago as it was less than lots of other non-big store brands. But it is catching up in price! Boo...
It is great for all ages and sizes. Have a 6lb dog up to a 70lb dog that eats this stuff.

For a large breed dog, buying this food makes the most sense. It has the best reviews, comes in 44lb bags, and has more calories than most competitors (Blue Buffalo etc.). These perks combined make this dog food last much longer than other name brand 30lb bags of food that I have bought with lower calories. There was also a ten dollar price jump since the last time i bought this food, which is why I rated this 4/5 stars. Even with the price jump, if you divided how much you pay per pound this is still cheaper than buying Blue Buffalo food.

I purchased this senior formula dog food for my 8 and 6 year old dogs. My 8 year old dog has been moving a little slower and just hasn't been himself this past year. Both of my dogs were a little overweight due to the cold months and not being as active. I switched them slowly to this food and they had no ill side effects like some foods when you first switch. It has been about a month and I have noticed that my dogs are more active and my 8 year old dog is moving much better than he was before switching. He is back to running up the stairs and jumping on the couch. Also, their coats look much shinier and their digestion seems to be benefiting as well. I took one star off of this food because my dog doesn't seem to like the taste as much as he has other foods. He usually lets it sit in his bowl for an hour or so before eating it which can be problematic with a toddler and another dog in the house. Overall, it is a great food and it is a much better price than most other higher end senior dog foods. I will continue to keep my dogs on this food and I have it on subscribe and save so I'll never run out!

My German Sherpherd is somewhat picky, and holds her nose up to any "natural" foods Costco has to offer. I had to start looking elsewhere, but preferred not to pay premium prices and premium feed stores, so I turned to Amazon. It is so nice to be able to order a 40 lb bag of dog food that I don't have to sling into a cart, and then into my truck. Right to my front door.

She enjoyed the food SO much better than her previous food, and I noticed a sheen to her coat after we went through the bag. The only reason I didn't reorder this particular one, was because I wanted to try their food specifically for her breed, which she BEGS for every single morning and evening.

I highly recommend any Canidae pet food products. We feed it to our cat, as well, and he loves the salmon mix.

I would have given it a 5 star but my older dog who I thought would love it "due to the fish" has taken a bit to come around. I originally picked this product for the convenience of being all life stages, as well as a very high quality food, with low impact on sensitive tummies.our new puppy who was having trouble with loose stool, and seemed to love our older dogs food more than her own puppy food, has been having a heck of a time with loose stool and dry nose, and over all malinayse, in combination of starting her on this product and adding a flora pack to her diet, her nose is nice and wet, she is much happier, and her stool is doing much better, although If I forget to give her the flora pack she tends to continue to have loose stool. So I don't know how much the food is or is not contributing to her stool bulking up, my older dog is starting to come around to the taste or "lack of taste" I guess the fact that it isn't full of fillers is why it doesn't smell very much like any thing? But I will say it is a very high quality food with wonderful stuff in it for them, and the convenience of one food for all life stages is wonderful!

This seemed to be a good food for our dog. It came with him from the humane society.Unfortunately, we found our dog was allergic to something in the food. He was itchy, using way too many poop bags per day (apparently 2-3 per day is enough), not having nice poop formation, pawing at his mouth (like a cat washing their face) and chewing his at his paws/legs.We had to switch him over to an only rabbit diet. This helped all of his ailments considerably.This food did have one drawback. It is really crummy. There were crumbs left in the bowl. His face had lots of crumbs on it after eating. We developed a wash the dogs face after eating his meals routine because of this. The dog is not a huge fan of this routine.

We switched to this brand by vet recommendation, my dog seemed to like it and his allergies did subside. But 1/4 of the bag was molded at the bottom. Called the manufacturing place and they told me that it sometimes happens. They did replace the bag, and we did not that the problem with the second bag. Will always check for mold on the bottom from now on.

The question asked to review...."did the Science Diet meet your expectations?"I really could not tell if it met my expectations, as I do not eat dog food. However, our dog seems to like it.

Changing my review from 5 to 3. My dog's stool was lighter/yellowish for awhile and I couldn't figure out what was causing it. She seemed completely fine otherwise. I switched her food off this and it improved almost instantly. It could have very well been some sort of allergy she developed, but just something to look out for.

I bought this at a great price through Amazon. The only issue is my dog doesn't like it anymore (and I haven't finished the big bag). He liked it at first, but then stopped liking it. I was excited to buy it because I feel Hill's Science Diet is a better quality dog food, but it does no good if my dog won't eat it.

I purchased this food for my golden retriever and english springer because there were so many great reviews. My golden is extremely picky and she ate this food for about a week but now she'll leave her bowl full for a day or two before finally eating it out of hunger. My english springer is not picky at all and he was eating the food fine for a few weeks before he completely stopped eating it too. I gave it 3 stars because the delivery and price were great but I just can't get either dog to eat it which doesn't make the price matter much. I'm switching to something else. . .

I love this food personally because I feel good feeding it to my dog, unfortunately he does NOT like it. He doesn't get sick from it that I can tell, but he does not like it and tries to hide it :( He might just be picky, but I've gotten him to eat other foods that are still good for him and he's liked it. I think this just doesn't taste as good to him as other foods.

I got this dog food for my 9 year old German Shorthair Pointer. I'm trying to be more cautious about what I feed my dog and this appealed to me because it's for seniors. My dog actually did not like the taste of it. Which is unusual because my dog likes most everything. This is dry kibble which is about the size of rabbit pellets, all the same shape, size and color. My dog wouldn't eat it straight out of the bowl and wouldn't eat it mixed with other canned dog food. The only way I can get her to eat any of it is if I put it in one of those Kong dispensers. If the food is in one of those she will smack the toy around to get the kibble out and she does eat it that way but she is not interested in it long enough to get enough out of it to fill her up. She just didn't like the flavor as I switched her to a different brand and now she is doing fine! That being said, I do think it's worth a try because it has very healthy ingredients. It would be great if your dog likes the taste of it. My dog is just a little too spoiled for her own good. I've had this bag 3 months and haven't even used one pound yet! It does have vitamins for it that are especially for older dogs, including glucosamine and chrondrointin for joints and hips/arthritis type pain. So all together my dog gives this dog food two paws down!

I really wanted to be so happy I bought this stuff, but my puppy doesn't really like it all that well. It may because the breeder put him on pedegree, and he likes that better or something. Maybe he'll get used to it. He only eats like a tablespoon of food when he eats till he's full, so yeah. I really hope he gets used to it, because I'm not tossing it. At this point, I probably wont buy again, but every dog is different, and I really think probiotics in dog food is awesome. I weened him off the pedegree btw, in case someone was worried. he hasn't had any problems with digestion and went to the vet today. He's doing great with the food switch, he just doesn't like it much I guess.

I'm sure this is great dog food, but a couple things... After a couple weeks, my Airedale did not find it to be as appetizing as he originally did. He usually eats as soon as the food hits his bowl. He then started to let it sit for a few hours before he would eat, and sometimes not finish it. Also,I could not find any information about the facility that this food is processed in. I don't like that. Finally, it also gave my dog the worst farts ever. I mean, it took his gas to a whole new level. The price for a 44lb bag is fantastic, but I had to revert back to Blue Buffalo Turkey & Potato. I'm sure some dogs will do just fine on this food, but it wasn't for my terrier.

When we found out just how bad commercial dog food was for our dog (who started vomiting and losing weight rapidly) we chose Canidae brand food for our pets, after much research. Our dog is a rescue and was already pretty skinny when we got her. She wasn't too impressed with this dog food which was disappointing because I liked the ingredients and how much better it would be for her compared to commercial junk. Likewise our cats didn't like the Canidae cat food either and refused to eat (these fat cats never refuse food until we tried this brand on them).

So for our dog we actually tried Canidae Grain-Free first, which she didn't take to and then we tried Life Stages but she still refused it. I realize it can take a pet some time to adjust to a new food, and there's a way to introduce new food, but when the dog starves herself rather than eat the food... we kind of need to move on and try something else. Our dog refused the Canidae dog foods, our cats refused the Canidae cat food.

We have since found another great brand (that is grain-free) and she chows down on it, is finally putting on weight and has stopped vomiting. It is not part of the Canidae brand.

I am only rating Canidae Life Stages with 3 stars because it didn't work out for us BUT I still think it's worth trying with your own pet! Our bag arrived timely, was intact and wasn't outdated, seemed fresh, etc. Give it a try! It has great ratings elsewhere but just wasn't for us.

My dog started having diarrhea after eating out of this bag of food. She was not finishing her food and my other little dog ate some of it and she started acting sick and having diarrhea I stopped giving her this food and she got better quickly. This is the food that she has been eating for along time. Something was wrong with it.

Unfortunately my dogs (all 4) get sick when eating this food. I'm not sure what the ingredient is that they are reacting to but it sure is a bummer as they seem to really like the flavor. I like the price and the amount of food we get but sad to say we are switching. The dogs throw up approximately 30 minutes after eating this. I have tested them with another food to see if they throw up then too but it is just when they eat this. Switching to Natural Balance.

The bits 2 are too large. I need small bites.I have Chahuahus.

My dog would eat it only if she was really hungry. When I switched her to another brand, I planned to gradually change her over to the new dog food by introducing a portion at a time... Well, when I put the new food in, she would eat the new stuff and leave HSD. I had no major issues with HSD except for I felt my Dog had itchy skin and she gained weight.

my dog wont touch this food and it smells very strongly of b vitamins

My 1 yr old Boxer did not like this food. Every time she ate it, she would chase it with grass a few hours later. She was a rescue dog, and never gained any weight. We're switching to a different food. We only tried this because our vet "recommended" it. Poor choice on the vet's part.

Unfortunately my picky babies didn't like this brand. It seems to be free of fillers and dyes and has plenty of great ingredients. I was trying to find something with vegetables and vitamins in it but they simply didn't like it. My Golden went days without eating and then just picked at it when she was really hungry. Ended up having to mix it with some leftover of the food we used before to get her to eat again. Seems like a decent product but my girls just didn't like it.

The ingredients read like a premium dog food, which I've always understood this brand to be, but my dogs have been upchucking almost daily since I transitioned them to this food. And, yes, I did slowly transition by adding in a little more each day, as I reduced the amount of the other food. I'm very disappointed because, again, the quality is good and the company seems to have pets best interests at heart. I would recommend you buy a smaller bag to try this product. If it works for your dog, you'll know it; if it doesn't, you won't be out that much cash.

Some dogs might do great on this food, but mine didn't. I purchased it based on its positive rating on Dog Food Advisor, but even after transitioning my dogs onto slowly (I'm very careful about this process), they still had gas, loose stool, and seemed constantly hungry. I transitioned back to my 'inferior' brand of ProPlan sport, and the dogs are once again back to their normal selves.

The only reason I gave it two stars and not one, is the dogs did like the taste of it. No hesitation in eating it.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this brand of dog food.

This probably isn't a really fair review since I don't know if there's anything especially wrong with the product, however my GSD doesn't eat this dog food very well and has had numerous issues with digesting it as well. After several attempts of going through one bag, we ended up switching to another product and she's a much happier puppy now. So our personal experience is not good. Others may be very happy with this product. For my German Shepherd it didn't work for her.

I can only get the 30# bag locally so this seemed an awesome deal. My 3 girls, Bassets 8 and 11 and a Boxer 3, have eaten Canadae All Life Stage before and devoured it. Ordered this is July and my girls only picked at it so I assumed they weren't happy with the taste and mixed it with some Diamond Naturals and they used up the bag. But as winter closes in my budget gets tighter and I ordered the 44# bag on Oct 29. It arrived within 3 days and Nov 5 6 7 I mixed it with what I had remaining of the old food. One of those days, my boxer had her first EVER mess in her crate with a bout of diarrhea. She usually has a cast iron stomach so I was concerned she had eaten something in the yard that probably was not meant to be eaten. Didn't find anything, but then if she had eaten it , whatever it was, there would be nothing to find. Duh.
Since the switch to this bag of food, my smaller basset had only been eating half her dinners and I was worried about her. They are not youngsters anymore. The 8th 9th I came home to diarrhea messes twice, small, but one was bloody. The 10th I was worried about the food and bough some Just 6 at the grocery and fed that instead. Same for the 11th. The 12th I convinced myself it was all in my head and I was wasting perfectly good food so I mixed the Just 6 half and half with the Canadae and came home tonight to diarrhea everywhere! Oh Joy! Nope. Never again. Cant figure out how to return 35lbs of dog food no longer in its original packaging so I'm out over $55. Not sure if its Canadae or this batch from Amazon but I can't take the chance with my girlies.

Our dog has been eating Science Diet, usually purchased at PetsMart, with no issues. We ordered this and he seemed reluctant to eat, but eventually did. Within 2 days he began having very very loose stool. After seeing other reviews we immediately took this away and went to the store to buy Science Diet. Hoping he feels better and there are no long lasting issues.

When this product arrived the bag was open. I debated returning the product but assumed this was due to the heavy bag being damaged during delivery which was a common complaint in the reviews. Shortly after loading the bag into my dog food container I noticed something strange. I had small ants in my kitchen where I store the food. This had never occurred before and I've used this brand of food for nearly ten years. I didn't make a connection of the ants to the dog food yet. I also soon noticed ants around the dog food bowl which had never occurred before either. The dog bowl is on the other side of the kitchen. In almost ten years of using this brand of food I have never had ants. There must have been something wrong with this bag. And then a week later my dog had severe diarrhea lasting for over a week requiring a vet visit and a special diet to recover. She lost 4 pounds in one week. I don't know if this is a one off bad bag or if something happened in delivery but I no longer feel safe ordering this way.

We have used this food for years but this bag arrived and our dogs REFUSED to eat any of it. It was a bad batch...$40+ down the drain!

These are so HARD my dog could not eat it. Dog has no dental problems. Other dog refused the taste of it and would spit it out.

This food was awful. It made my dogs incredibly sick. Also, there was a tear in the bag when it arrived.

I don't know if it's because we bought it online, but ever since receiving this dog food my dogs have had diarrhea. I've been buying this food at Petco for over a year and no problem.

I have been buying this dog food for 4 years, for some reason this bag of food is all crumbly and I am throwing out a lot of it. My dogs don't eat the crumbles only the actual round pellets. Not sure what is wrong with this bag of food. I would have returned it but I pour the bag into an air tight container and I don't have the bag. Would love to hear back from the company that makes this. Still waiting to hear from the company to find out what is wrong with my crumpled food in this last bag I ordered.

Made both my dogs have GI issues. I should have researched this product more and blame myself. So far I have read that that one of the probiotics is harmful for dogs and that it has too much of omega 6 in it. Whether this is true or not I don't really know but I will not be researching it anymore as I am done with Canidae products.

I wanted something a little more pure than the lamb and rice pro plan I had my dogs on so we tried Canidae lamb. This food gave BOTH my dogs watery diarrhea that they couldn't control and soiled their crates SEVERAL times. It took me about 2 weeks to figure out it was this food because the transition to it went fine and it wasn't until about a week into being solely on this formula that they both started getting watery stools. It's suspicious they both had this reaction but it was truly the food. I eliminated it and worked it back in after bland diets for a few days just like you're supposed to, because I assumed it was a bug. Well after working them back on this food for the 3rd time I realized it was the food! Went immediately back to pro plan lamb formula and haven't had a problem since. Lesson learned, don't mess with a good thing! I would not recommend. I have 2 poodle/Aussie shepherd mixes.

TWICE when I added a small amount of Canidae to our current dry dog food to begin the switchover to what I thought would be a superior dog food, our lab began vomiting and had diarrhea. After the first time, we withheld food to let her system calm down and then started just with the old food. A couple days later, we added maybe 10 PIECES of the Canidae and she is already vomiting and diarrhea again. Don't know if it's just a bad batch or if it's the dog food in general, but I won't try this food again. Amazon immediately is processing a full refund as well as investigating the food, so props to them!

This horribble food mad bith of my yorkies very, very sick. Huge vet bills followed by finally figuring out it was the food that was causing the vommiting and diahrea. When it was one dog we suspected but then both dogs and we recently changed to this horrible food...yes we know how to slowly change the food.....we put 2 and 2 together to equal very sick dogs. We have stopped this food, reported it to Amazon and want to warn everyone. DO NOT BUY THIS DOG FOOD IF YOU VALUE YOUR PETS HEALTH. I only wish i could give this zero stars!!!!!!!!!!
