Canidae All Life Stages Dry Dog Food, Multi-Protein Formula, 5 lbs.

This is the food the breaded used before giving me the English bulldog,pumpkin that I love dearly! I got pumpkin 5 months before my husband died and she has been my constant companion!She has never been sick in the 3 years I’ve had her, I’m going to contribute that too good dog food! It’s more expensive then other dog foods but highly worth it because pumpkin has been so healthy! U can’t put a price tag on that!

Oh my goodness...I have an 11 year old pug/beagle mix that has been lethargic for about 3 years, wouldn't really play, had a dull coat no matter how much I groomed her, and has had itchy paws and armpits for a long time. I never knew that all of that crap was in the big name brand dog foods. I had always had her on Purina of some sort until I started doing research. I was blown away by what I read and quickly became obsessed with finding a better food without paying an arm and a leg. I refuse to pay more for my dogs food than for our own food. After researching about 30 different dog foods and prices and brands on different websites, I went with Canidae All Life Stages (chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish)via Amazon with free super saver shipping for both my 11 year old Puggle and my new 10 week old labrador retriever puppy. I haven't regretted the change or the purchase at all! I am absolutely thrilled. My 11 year old isn't nearly as itchy, has a crazy shiny coat now, and has ALL KINDS of energy to keep up with the puppy now! Also, the breeder of my new lab had her on Purina Pro Plan Large Breed so I switched her right away and even her coat looks so much better now and it's only been about 3 weeks. I can't wait to see the difference in the two of them over the next 3 or 4 months. They both did get a little bit constipated during the transition period from their old foods to the Canidae, but a little bit of canola oil for a few days drizzled over their breakfast and dinner fixed that until their bodies adjusted. Both are regular now with no problems. Also, during the transition, I couldn't get either of them to eat even one piece of their old food. They would both pick out the Canidae and gobble it up and then leave their old food in the bowl until they were later famished! It was funny to watch! Great product, great service, and will definitely continue to order the 44 lb bag via Amazon. The packaging was very very poor but that's a different issue. The box that the food was shipped in wasn't even big enough for the bag and the UPS driver brought me the food, with pieces of the box laying on top of the bag. Oh well, I'm still thrilled with the product!UPDATE: SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, BOTH DOGS ARE STILL DOING FANTASTIC WITH THE CANIDAE FOOD! THE PUPPY'S COAT ACTUALLY SPARKLES LIKE I PUT GLITTER ON HER IN THE SUNLIGHT, IT'S CRAZY. THE PUGGLE IS ONLY SHEDDING A THIRD OF WHAT SHE USED TO AND THE ONLY THING THAT SHE EVER CHEWS ON IS ONE OF HER PAWS AND THE VET GAVE ME A SPRAY FOR THAT. I AM STILL THRILLED WITH THE FOOD AND WITH AMAZON'S PRICE AND THE FREE SHIPPING!

UPDATE: Blown away by the product and seller again. I ordered the 44lb bag late on Saturday, it shipped late Sunday, and was just delivered to my door today, MONDAY. It wasn't supposed to get here till Wednesday but surprise!!! I am so happy with this seller and product I could go on and on. My boys were so happy to get their food (they were living on pumpkin for the day lol). We will be Canidae consumers for life I believe!I have a 9 month old Standard Poodle and a 1.5 year old Toy Poodle. I had them on Blue Buffalo from the very beginning which was great and they loved it but was very expensive (24-34lb bag was the price of this 44lb bag and only last a month if that). Plus my Standard, poor big boy, had horrible potty problems for a loooong time. Horrible gas, runny stool. And by horrible gas I mean I would gag every night. My poor toy poodle got hit directly in the face with a fart one night and started literally flailing around like he had been sprayed with pepper spray...to which I followed in the same manner about 10 seconds later. But noooow, after having them on this food for two months, his stool is muuuuuch better (also thanks to some meds) and his farts are NOT nearly as often or as smelly as they were. Actually they're just little pfffts without the hot stench. THANK JESUS!!! Anyway, back to the food. This stuff is great! At first they were slow to eating it, but quickly started to gobble it up. BUT they eat MUCH LESS of this than the Blue Buffalo they used to scarf down. Between two dogs, this lasts me pretty much two months! So it ends up only being like $27 a month for high quality dog food. YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT! It fills them up, they have regular potty movements, no more stinky farts, and great coats. I say give this stuff a try!

So my two dogs (7 and 8) seem to love this stuff and have been on it for years. We had to switch one of our dogs to raw fed as she she was having trouble with kidney stones and lack of moisture in her diet. She still really likes this stuff though and always wants a cheeky treat now and then. Its still a good go to for training purposes, or a quick reward.Our other dog eats this only, and is a happy camper, healthy coat, always playing. We searched a long time looking for a decent kibble that wasn't crazy money and still was healthy enough. This brand is on the "lower" end of the "best you can get" but is solid choice and consistent. For the money I think is one of the best you can get without spending over a hundred bucks a bag.We get the 44lb bag and it last our 50-60lb pooch nearly 2 months. With the cost of everything these days spiraling out of control, its decent value for a pretty decent kibble option. I have looked into switching it up, but i honestly cant find anything that compares to the quality and price ratio.

My Dogs seem to like it .

Good quality dog food

I was very surprized at the size of this product which I am otherwise familiar with and have used for years. My original review was not allowed as it may have used a word that rhymed with pram. Please read the description very very carefully.
