all of this negativity is ridiculous. im positive half of the people complainig are jus on the bandwagon n want to agree with others complaints. this new formula is faaarrrr superior to the old and is now being made at diamond along with almost every other high quality dog foods an the market today.and for all that say any dog food is gluten free has no idea wat they are talking about all carbohydrates have naturally occuring glutens. canidae just doesnt add gluten like many other companies. and although there is diversified carbs now the overall meat content has been raised. to address the diarhea: of course dogs mite be having some issues. with a richer more meat based formula it is more digestible so it takes time to get used to that. think what happens if you suddenly started eating way more steak n meat protein you may have an upset tummy for a while! also for all those that say they switched foods n there problems were solved is because the majority probably switched to a cheaper more carbohydrate filled food which will firm stools up because of lack of meat protein!!! I just had to vent because there is sooooo many ignorant and uneducated comments about the recent canidae changes!!!maybe try it for yourself instead of listening to haters. it is an amazing food that all my dogs love. if they have lose stools feed them a little less n stick it out for a while till it firms up!

Actually, Norco your comment is pretty ignorant. Whether the new formula is superior or not is for the dog to decide. Many dogs have different allergies and intolerances so you can't tell people to basically suck it up and the symptoms will go away. That is sometimes just not true. I've had my dog on food before and the formula has changed and he got a very upset stomach and chronic ear infections. Certain ingredients matter for certain dogs. There is not one food for every dog, they are all different. Don't underestimate these people and their problems with their dogs due to new ingredients, that would be ignorant and uneducated!

Isnt Diamond the one that killed a few animals a few years back due to afflitoxin? P.S. ..if you do not believe that good foods and brands are ruined by corporate greed let me share with you a comment from a renown marketing firm of the basic belief of big pet food companiies - "If the pet eats it and doesn't die that is all that matters" ALL the money is spent in convincing you that whatever crap they put in the bag is the best stuff. The more money they can spend on that the better the sales, it has nothing to do with quality. It's actualr far more sinister and pathetic then most people would ever ever want to believe so we do not, and carry on believing we love our pets and feed them the best stuf because we were told by an add or by Ellen or Rachel Rae that this is the best stuff...

Hmmm....let's add this up together: $48.00 for 4 stool exams for 4 dogs, $76.00 for 2 vet exams for bloody diarrhea & vomiting, $74.00 for medications for 4 dogs, new bag of Canidae 'new" formula diet (no warning on bag) $36.50, carpet professionally cleaned (I'm disabled) $72.00 for 3 rooms. Oh wait!!! Three large boxes of rice, 6 large cans of canned chicken, 4 containers of plain yogurt and 1 large container of cottage cheese. As you can see, my out of pocket expenses have been quite high due to Canidae's neglect in not informing their customers that they were changing all their formulas' (for whatever reason). I used to be a huge fan of Canidae. I'm from the old school of thought; when something works - don't fix it. Thanks for your glowing recommendation but no thanks!

Well, Canidae probably is a good dog food. However, each dog lets the owner know if it is good or bad. Firm bowel movements and no vomiting means dog likes Canidae. The reason many complain about Canidae is that their pet has diahrrea, bloody stools, etc. So, the dog always decides the best food.
