It is great to read all these blogs about Canidae dog food, mostly All Life Stages. I thought I was alone being super-concerned about my dog's nutrition/health. I am ex-army dog handler, and my black lab & golden retr. started as pups I raised for PAWS WITH A CAUSE; dogs meant for the disabled, the dogs flunked so now their mine.
I share many of these blogs concern for quality of Canidae purchased recently. I used Canidae 4 months ago and had no problem. Following the dog food poison problem of 2007 I mostly go all homemade raw for two dogs. However, began to buy commercial food to add just handful to raw, like sprinkes on a donut. Over years have switched to all premium brands: EVO, Barking at Moon, etc.
Ten days ago bought Canidae ALS and made 75/25% mix of regular raw and Canidae; the Canidae amount was almost nothing. Immediately black lab & golden retr. had diarreha, some all liquid, then very mushy, then all liquid.etc. After ten days they are improving slightly, I'm try to give Canidae benefit of the doubt, but the blacklab has a cast iron stomach, and between your blogs and my dogs I'M SUSPECTING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS BATCH OF CANIDAE. No other problems exist now, they are alert, very energetic, and coat/skin are OK. But there should not be this severe diarreha for over ten days on a 75/25 mix.
From your blogs, it bothers me many of you report Canidae DOES NOT return your emails. There is also an iternet report of Canidae dog food containing a pain killer; report seems unconfirmed or confusing at this time. Canidae Co. better wise-up and answer its customer's emails, and put tighter controls on quality assurance because something appears wrong recently.
Let's keep watching Canidae, and hope they respond to us.
