Canidae® Pet Foods: Customer Testimonials

"Her symptoms totally disappeared"

10/6/2008 - I am thrilled with your product. Shelby, my boxer/lab cross, had terrible food allergies. She constantly licked and chewed at her paws. A month after I started feeding Shelby your Lamb and Rice formula, her symptoms totally disappeared. Her coat is shiney and soft and thanks to your dog food she is happy, healthy and content. Thank you for making an affordable yet high premium dog food.

"Happy and healthy poodles and I think the Canidae has helped with that"

9/18/2008 - Hi - I received the coupon in the mail today, thank you as it will come in handy to feed these poodles of mine.

"After a few weeks had gone by we noticed a sudden burst of hair growth"

9/15/2008 - I have been feeding CANIDAE to all my dogs since 1999. I have been very pleased with how much they loved the taste and how shiny their coats always were. As our dogs got older we opted to switch them to CANIDAE Platinum which we fed for years. In Nov. 2006 Baby our chow of 10 years developed a very serious hot spot that the vet said was probably from a external allergen. The vet shaved her up to her mane (see picture), boy did she get small all of a sudden. Six months later I mentioned to the vet that her hair still had not grown back and he suggested we draw some blood to check her levels which all came back fine. I even tried supplements but nothing seem to bring back the hair. Not to long ago I picked up another bag of CANIDAE Platinum and noticed it was the new formulation. After a few weeks had gone by we noticed a sudden burst of hair growth. Not just patches but all over. A year and a half had gone by with no hair growth at all, and now 2 1/2 months later on the new formula I again have a full time job brushing her out (see 2nd pic). Proof to me is in the outcome and my now 12 year old chow looks & acts better than ever. The moral of this story I feel is that obviously the change is good, very good. I never doubted your old formulation but am even more convinced that CANIDAE strives to produce a quality food leading to better pet nutrition & health.

Thank you CANIDAE,
Mindi & Baby B.

"I just wanted to tell you what an exemplary product you have"

9/8/2008 - I just wanted to tell you about my success story with Canidae All Life Stages. In April 2008 we adopted our second dog, a 9 month old Boxer. At the time we adopted him he was fed a diet of Ol' Roy, pork and beans and various unhealthy table scraps. When we brought him home his coat was dull and his shedding was out of control. I immediately switched him over to Canidae and cut out all table scraps and his transformation over the next 12 weeks was amazing. His coat is shiny and I no longer have to brush him 4x and vacuum twice weekly just to keep up with him. Friends and family comment on how good he is looking and I couldn't be happier. His energy level has increased, although in a 1 year old boxer I didn't think that was possible.

This is my first experience with Canidae products as my first boxer has food allergies and only succeeds on a prescription diet. I just wanted to tell you what an exemplary product you have.

Would it be possible to receive some coupons that I can pass around? I am a die hard believer in Canidae and wish all of my friends and famiy to experience your product as well.

Kind regards,

"We are so happy with Canidae ALS!"

9/7/2008 - I recently purchased a Shih Tzu puppy from a reputable breeder. When we brought him home we noticed that his bowel movements were quite soft and runny. We were reluctant to change dog food from what the breeder had started feeding him. On the many recommendations from friends who feed Canidae we switched him to Canidae ALS, and we almost immediately saw a firmer stool. His coat is beautiful. We are so happy with Canidae ALS! This is the dog food we will be sticking with. Also the new Canidae Snap-Bits are a great training aide. Our puppy loves them! It is so good to be able to reinforce his positive behavior knowing that we are rewarding him with such a nutritional treat, and they are the perfect size.

"The transition from the old formula to the new was seamless"

9/3/2008 - Thanks so much for your time on the phone. I appreciate you answering my questions. I wanted to let you know that the new Canidae ALS formula is working very well for my mastiffs. The transition from the old formula to the new was seamless. I have seven mastiffs ranging in age from 6 months to 4 years old. They each did very well with the switch and they clearly love the taste of the new formula. I will proudly continue to use Canidae ALS here at Crossroads Mastiffs.

You can see from the pictures that we have some nicely muscled, active mastiffs with beautiful, healthy, shiny coats. My recent litter of 12 puppies was weaned to Canidae ALS. You can see the picture of the whole litter taking their meal very seriously. The four puppies I kept have been fed the ALS formula exclusively since that time. I couldn't be happier with the way they are maturing. Thanks for a great product!!

"She dove right into her new kibble"

8/23/2008 - I just switched Jennie, my beautiful 8 year old Australian shepherd, over to your new Platinum formula about 2 weeks ago. She was not picky at all when I made the switch and she dove right into her new kibble. I was actually quite surprised how well and how fast she took to it. She has already lost a little weight, she's looking more and more beautiful every day, and I just wanted to share with you how happy I am with her new diet.

Thank you again for a great food!

"You have really improved an already perfect food"

8/23/2008 - Canidae has Improved perfection! I have fed Canidae for years to all my dogs with really great results. This June I found the new improved Canidae at my local pet store, wow talk about improved food, smaller poo than before, their shiny coats feel softer and shinier that before and stand back when I put dinner down, it’s gone in seconds! You have really improved an already perfect food in my book! Keep up the good work!

"The change is amazing"

8/21/2008 - I would like to take this opportunity to let you know what a difference your food had made to my dog's life. We have two Irish Water Spaniels, one almost six years and one sixteen months old. The eldest one was a rescue and while she has been healthy she did not play or get involved with anything. She has been on your food for about three weeks now and the change is amazing. She is more alert, playful and her coat is much shinier.

I have her on life stages as she needs to be on a weight reduction program, and the younger one, who is much more active as he is a member of Ontario Dock Dogs and the main Dock Dogs association, needs to be on a normal formula, and I find that this way I do not have to buy two different types of food. I find that feeding Canidae, which is the highest form of kibble that I have tried, that has lived up to its advertising. I am quick to write a letter when a product does not live up to its promise so to be fair, I also try to be appreciative when I am completely satisfied with a product, with which I am with Canidae.

"Thanks for giving Matt back some quality of life"

8/18/2008 - I am writing to tell you what a difference you've made in "Matt's" life... I found him on the floor of another rescue operation in a room with a bunch of other dogs. He was completely unable to walk with severe contractures in all four legs. He was skeletal and half starved, and barely responsive. His eyes were caked with "sleep" and he had fecal matter on his rump. I ask ed if I could take him on as a "project dog" since he obviously needed more attention than what he was getting. Matt was originally caught as a feral dog and has never enjoyed human interaction. Two years ago severe arthritis set in and he deteriorated into his current condition. He was completely unable to move other than a slight scoot here and there...never more than a few feet at a time. The gal that had him said often you could hear him howling in pain in the middle of the night, but they didn't have the meds he would need. He was very near being put to sleep. When I picked him up he felt like a brittle branch...nary a muscle moved on him. His eyes "clicked" when he blinked because they were so sunken into his skull that they created air pockets around each eyeball. I'd never seen a dog this bad still alive. When I put him out in the grass the first time I was shocked because he looked like a long forgotten corpse of a dog... not the living, breathing, suffering dog he was. When he relieved himself, it was always a mess and he needed bathing several times a day. I immediately got him on Canidae All Life Stages canned and dry food mixed in equal amounts with a little warm water to soften the whole meal. He was weak, but the boy could eat!!!

After three weeks... he still cannot walk... but he is definitely more limber, more responsive, wags his tail, and his coat color has returned to a brilliant copper I never knew he had. The midnight howls of pain... they're gone... and while Matt cannot take himself out, he IS completely housetrained. He will whine and wiggle until you pick him up in order to be put outside as he absolutely hates to soil himself. His stool is solid and normal now thanks to a healthy diet and plenty of it. He now takes pride in his appearance and can't stand to be dirty or wet! He's earned a place in my bed, and spends his days either on a cushy loveseat, or often times being toted around in a sling backpack to town for a ride. Canidae has helped him gain some much needed weight, brightened his lonely eyes, and released some of the tension in his long neglected joints. Thanks for giving Matt back some quality of life... on his behalf... he appreciates every bite!

Sincerely,
Dani

"Gordon is doing so much better"

8/11/2008 - I wanna thank Canidae so much, thanks to their great food Gordon ( The lighter Golden Ret.) is doing so much better. Shortly after I got him his hair was falling out he was constantly licking, we took him to the vet and ruled out everything from mange to parasites. After doing research I thought I would try better food. I heard about Canidae from a Golden Retriever website I joined, and I decided to give it a try after 3 weeks the licking and itching stopped and his hair started to grow back in. When I got Bella my 4 month old GR, I decided there's no other food she will be eating than Canidae.

Thanks for making such a good quality food for our pets!
Love,

"I wanted to feed her the best food possible"

7/23/2008 - I would like to share my own testimonial about Canidae dog food. Last year, I adopted my dog Sophie from Homeward Bound after she was abandoned by her previous owners. Sophie is a high energy black lab mix who LOVES to run, often times more than 10 miles in a single trip! I wanted to feed her the best food possible, and some friends recommended Canidae. Every meal, she eats her Canidae in less than a minute and looks up hoping for more. I knew she loved it, but was astounded when she picked finishing her Canidae over a bone filled with peanut butter!

Thank you, thank you for making such a wonderful product. Sophie couldn't be healthier, has a beautiful shiny coat, and loves eating it!

"Bravo to you for putting out an amazing product"

7/10/2008 -

Dear Makers of Canidae: Bravo to you for putting out an amazing product! I have three Chihuahuas: Bailey (7), Rocky (3 1/2) and Chloe (2 1/2). They were originally on Brand X for Chihuahuas, but it began to cause much stomach upset for them. So I transferred them to Brand X, which contained no wheat or corn products. They got very bored with this food very fast. True, it is fairly inexpensive for a food with no byproducts, but I don't mind paying extra if I know my dogs will benefit from the food. After attending a Pet Expo in Valley Forge, PA, we were introduced to your food through a series of samples. My dogs couldn't get enough. They get 1/4 cup of food in the morning and 1/4 every other night (I alternate wet and dry foods at night due to their stomach upset). By the time I put the food down, turn around to wash out the measuring cup and put it away, your food is GONE! I've never seen my dogs take to a food the way mine have. And I can rest assured that they are getting all the nutrients they need to support a healthy body. Thank you Canidae! Sincerely, Angela, Bailey, Rocky and Chloe Marchetti.

Thank you again!

"I will continue to feed all my dogs Canidae Lamb & Rice"

7/10/2008 - Hello, My name is Matty and I am a breeder of quality Blue Nose Pitbulls located in Florida. I have been using Canidae Lamb & Rice for two years now and have raised my adult male and female Blue Nose Pits on this formula. The food has given them beautiful soft & shinny coats, awesome muscle tone, and my male has one of the BIGGEST heads I have seen on a pit his size. I am totally satisfied with Canidae dog food! Now they have had a litter of beautiful healthy puppies, 13 to be exact and none were lost during labor! I am positive that the cause of this perfect delivery and health of all 13 puppies was 50% from the excellent Canidae dog food and 50% of how I take care of my dogs. The pups are 8 weeks now and are only eating the New Improved Canidae Lamb & Rice formula. Now I have a total of 2 adults and 13 puppies that are eating the new Canidae Lamb & Rice and loving it. I am a convinced, as a breeder, that the greatness of the food you feed your dogs will make a difference in every area of a dogs life. I will continue to feed all my dogs Canidae Lamb & Rice as long as Canidae is still in production.

Thank you.
Matty, Pure Blood Kennel, FL

"She cleaned her bowl immediately"

7/10/2008 - Just wanted to write to let you know how much Bridgett, my Golden Retriever, loves your new Lamb and Rice dog food. She had been on another brand since we brought her home, but over the last year she has slowly been losing hair down both sides of her body. The vet said she was negative for mange and it was probably an allergy. He put her on a food he sold which did not help at all. She was almost hairless in spots and we were getting very worried. The clerk at the pet food store mentioned Canidae was good high-quality food with skin and coat conditioners in it so we tried your new Lamb and Rice formula. She loved it! She cleaned her bowl immediately which she never did before. Best of all, after about five weeks now her hair is starting to grow back!!! Thank you Canidae! Bridgett and I are fans for life!

"Larger litters while being fed Canidae"

7/9/2008 - I just wanted to let you know we had a new litter of puppies last night and they all went to their new homes with a bag of Canidae. I know that my girls are having larger litters while being fed Canidae. Last time this girl had a c-section and four puppies but this time had six very uniform babies naturally. I am sold on your food.

Thank you,

"Happy, healthy, shiny new Chester!"

"All three of my dogs now eat All Life Stages"

7/1/2008 - Just wanted to let you know how wonderful your food is. My Labrador Retriever had horrible skin problems and I had spent over $1000 in vet Bills trying to get her skin cleared up. She was on multiple antibiotics and steroids and nothing was helping. Even a biopsy came back inconclusive. Someone suggested Canidae. That was 11 months ago and I haven't fed her any other dog food since then. Her skin cleared up within the first month. All three of my dogs now eat All Life Stages. Thanks again for a wonderful product.

"Canidae allowed a little lost soul to regain her physical strength"

6/9/2008 -

Thank you Canidae from the bottom of my heart. Mae: Advanced Obedience, 90 per cent Agility and 18 months of abuse! It is my great delight to offer a new life to Mae, the abused Border Collie, who I adopted in 2006. I cannot take all the credit. I did extensive research of all pet foods available to me and was proud of myself for knowing enough about nutrition to choose Canidae. Canidae allowed a little lost soul to regain her physical strength and show a renewed confidence in her appearance: in so doing her mind grew! With your help: I would continually strive to motivate Mae, and in reality, she would motivate me to be the best that I could be.

Thank you again,

"Sadie is my best friend and only gets the best"

5/19/2008 - My name is Cindy and I have a 4 year old Yellow Labrador, Sadie, who is the pickiest eater. A friend told me her dogs eat CANIDAE and said I should try it. Well to my surprise Sadie loves it.

She really loves the snap biscuits.... Thank you CANIDAE for providing us with a food we can be proud to say we can trust and a food that we know is safe. Sadie is very spoiled as she is a Certified Narcotics Detection Dog and a Certified Therapy Dog, doing visits at hospitals, assisted living facilities and reading programs at the libraries with the children.

Sadie also does competition in Dock Jumping. She loves to ride my jet ski and do agility. Sadie is my best friend and only gets the best, so that is why she eats CANIDAE....

Sincerely,
Cindy and Sadie, California

"We have recommended CANIDAE to all our dog friends"

5/5/2008 - Molly and Polly wish to thank you for feeding them CANIDAE. Their best treat is in the morning each one has 1/2 of a snap biscuit. They are in and out within seconds sitting by the treat box waiting for them. Since we have been using CANIDAE they have maintained a perfect weight beautiful shiny coats no digestive problems and most of all they LOVE it and can't wait for chow time. We have recommended CANIDAE to all our dog friends and they agree its a very wonderful product. Poodles are easily satisfied with the VERY BEST and that's CANIDAE.

"Back on CANIDAE and within three weeks the limp was gone"

4/28/2008 - I wanted to thank the CANIDAE people for making such a great dog food. We have a female American Bull dog, and as you know, these dogs are pretty big and stout. I first heard about CANIDAE from our breeder, that's all he fed his dogs. So we continued feeding Dottie CANIDAE All Stages food. A week after we brought Dottie home we scheduled an appointment with the vet. We told her vet we were feeding CANIDAE All Stages, he suggested slowly switch to a puppy food. So we did. Approximately two months later Dottie started to limp, a week later it got worse. We took Dottie to the vet, and they took some x-rays, they found that the inner and outer bones of her left leg weren't growing at the same rate causing her to limp. At that time I was told to put Dottie on adult food with less protein. I slowly put Dottie back on CANIDAE and within three weeks the limp was gone. Dottie has the best coat and is still growing like crazy. She's 75 lbs. and 22 inches to the shoulders at 6 months old, wow. Thank You CANIDAE, I will not take her off this great food again.

Thanks again,
Blaine, Gail and Dottie

"This is a great product"

4/21/2008 - Here is a picture of our Manx cat Sammy. He is laying on the dogs bed as he really loves the bed. We also have 3 German Shepherd Dogs and they love your CANIDAE Chicken and Rice formula. Since we have switched to your food, I have found that there is no more doggy odor from the dogs. Their coats are beautiful, and Sammy is very glossy. I highly recommend your products to anyone that asks me what we feed ours. This is a great product and also at a great price.

Thanks,
Cathy

"Your products are terrific "

4/15/2008 - I work part time at the Pet Valu Moore Square Store # 3516 in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. I think your products are terrific and I am always encouraging my customers to switch to it. My own experience was with my Basset Hound, who was being fed Nutro and vomiting every day. I switched him to CANIDAE Lamb and Rice and no more vomiting. He also loves it. I recently added the Snap Biscuits and canned Lamb and Rice to his diet.

Our store sells a lot of CANIDAE and Felidae.

"Her skin and fur had change remarkably"

4/7/2008 - This is my baby girl Choxie. She is 1 year old. Choxie was diagnose having allergies. The Vet recommended us to change her food, since medication was not work. The first dog food we were refer to Iams and then Science Diet. Unfortunately nothing seem to work. We tried every kind of ointment and shampoos. Nothing seem to help our little girl. We notice that Choxie wasn't getting any better, her daily activities seem to stop, all she was doing was itching or constantly nipping at her skin. I decided to go on-line and do some research on dog foods, came across CANIDAE website. I was very interested in trying the Lamb and Rice formula dog food. At this point we were willing to try anything to help Choxie. However, nobody carried it around us. One day I stop by our friendly pet store Citrus Pet Resort, Homosassa, Florida and to my surprise they just started to carry CANIDAE brand food. I instantly purchase the Lamb and Rice formula. Within a few days Choxie was wanting to play again. In a week her skin and fur had change remarkably. My family and friends came over for Easter and could not believe their eyes. What a difference CANIDAE has made on my little girl. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone. It has brought back my once sick baby girl to a beautiful, playful, Choxie.

Thank you,
Beth

"CANIDAE is definitely helping her live a long and healthier life!"

3/1/2008 - I have a testimonial up for my miniature schnauzer Bonnie. She is the 9 year old black mini in the picture on the testimonial page. I wanted to update about her. The vet updated her age to 13-16. In April it will bump up 14-17. Her coat is still in great shape and she gobbles down her kibble still. She has been having trouble with her back end lately due to spinal problems. Other than that the vet said she can't believe how healthy her blood tests are for a dog her age. She said the CANIDAE is definitely helping her live a long and healthier life.

I have a newer foster dog, also a mini schnauzer. He came into foster care eating 2 brands of horrible food. He had heartworms and was treated for that. He then had giardia run rampant in his system. He currently has malabsorption syndrome from his system shutting down due to the medical stress. He gobbles up the CANIDAE food. He LOVES the canned food and the kibble and I found him in the bag earlier tonight. I am hoping he will start gaining some weight soon. I have noticed a huge difference in his skin and coat. Even though he has lost weight with the mal. syn. he has picked up more energy, a wonderful coat and skin condition. He was so itchy and scaly when I got him. Now he rarely itches. His skin is clear.

I am so thankful that the pet store owner in RI showed us CANIDAE.

"I am thrilled beyond thrilled with CANIDAE"

2/17/2008 -

My story isn't nearly as interesting as the others I have read on your site, but it's still fantastic what CANIDAE and Felidae have done for my dog and cat.

I was just at the vet clinic not three days ago seeing one of the new vets. I had to write you and tell you how much your food has done because I have never seen a vet so shocked. She couldn't believe how clean my dog's and cat's teeth and ears were. I DON'T clean them regularly. I only dry my dog's ears out after a bath.

While my cat has been through no major health issues, we have had her on Felidae since we adopted her at 4-months-old. This is because of our dog, who HAS had MANY issues.

On top of the costly surgery for when Jackson chewed up a green bean can, he has been at the vet an average of twice a month (sometimes twice a week) over his first year and a half of life. Constant staph infections, scaly, horrible dandruff, hair loss (and when I say hair loss, I mean gobs of it - one woman walking by said she'd never seen a lab with such an interesting coat. I said it's bald patches. She was embarrassed). He was on 40 mg of prednisone a day at one point. He weighed over 125 pounds because of the meds, and we had him on z/d, I believe, and I frankly couldn't afford it anymore. There was no way I was giving him up or putting him down, but I was at my wits end.

The vet tech had told me to try the CANIDAE lamb and rice before we tried the z/d. We had no success after three months, so I thought CANIDAE was a bust. Then we went to z/d and I went broke - and it didn't work, either. We did test after test after test, food trials, etc., etc. Jackson is allergic to dust believe it or not, and he is likely allergic or sensitive to some human foods like peanut butter and processed foods - but don't know that for sure.

Anyway, I decided to give CANIDAE another try. Something told me it would work this time, so I tried the ALS instead, and lo and behold, Jackson has hair again and is on 5 mg of prednisone every THIRD or FOURTH day!!! He will likely always take some amount of prednisone, as a dust allergy is pretty hard to overcome, but I am thrilled beyond thrilled with CANIDAE.

This last vet visit was the first one after over SIX months, and it was for routine vaccinations!!!

Couldn't be happier...

"You have a customer for life with our family!"

I have three pugs: two fawn - one of which is 12.5 yrs old and blind, and a black male. I also have an 11 year old Pekingese. Three of the four are finicky eaters and have all had chronic yeast infections in the ears with lots of exudate and odor. The pugs have had yeast in the facial folds which has made it difficult for hair to grow in these areas and a lot of gnawing at their feet. In addition to this, Maggie, our female pug, has also had chronic skin disorders and just lacked the spunk and energy a pug would have. We couldn't get any answers from the vet and pretty much blown off when we suggested allergy testing. We went through MANY top premium brands of dog food, including all the holistic foods and either the dogs wouldn't eat them or there was no improvement in the symptoms seen. After eliminating other foods we decided to give CANIDAE a try. To find a food that all four would eat was quite an achievement! They have been on your food for approx one month and what a difference! Oreo (black pug) has hair in his facial wrinkles for the first time ever, and he's 6 years old. No more ear infections or gnawing at his feet and his coat is absolutely gorgeous! Maggie is like a pup again. Ear infections, yeast in wrinkles and skin disorders have cleared and her coat is thick and lustrous. It's easy to see how much better she feels. Holly, the peke no longer has yeast in the ears either and her coat is silky soft! We finally found a quality natural food product that we can feel good about feeding our pets. Don't ever change a thing!! You have a customer for life with our family!

"This is the first food I've found that both of my dogs thrive on"

It's not often I write a review about a product, but I had to write to you today to thank you for making such a great product. I am the proud owner of two dogs, one of which is in training as a Search and Rescue dog. As a growing working dog, I need to know she is getting a good quality food that will help her stay fit and healthy for her job. However, her nutritional needs are complicated by food allergies, which stared me on my search to find a food that meets her needs without breaking my budget. Most of the foods I was coming across were prohibitively expensive. I came across your product one day at a local pet store, and after extensive research, decided to give it a try. Not only have her ear infections and irritated paws cleared up, but her coat is thick and shiny, and she has plenty of energy to meet the demands of a search and rescue dog. As an added bonus, this is the first food I've found that both of my dogs thrive on. My other dog has always grazed on her food (making it virtually impossible to keep weight on), and for the first time in 5 years, her bowl is emptied every meal and I've actually had to reduce the amount she gets fed as she was putting on too MUCH weight. I am now recommending this food to all of my friends and family with dogs. Thank you for making such a wonderful, affordable product!

"We couldn't be happier with your All Life Stages formula"

We are proudly loved by a two year old Newfoundland and an eight month old Golden Retriever. Both of our dogs have been fed CANIDAE since we brought them home as pups. We couldn't be happier with your All Life Stages formula for our boys! They are the picture of health with beautiful thick, shiny coats, bright eyes, clean teeth, fresh breath, normal stools, are of healthy weight and each have enough energy to keep us busy! We receive daily compliments everywhere we go. Neither have had any health issues so far and that makes us very, very happy! We are convinced that CANIDAE is the best kibble on the market for our large breed dogs and I continually recommend it to everyone I know. In fact, I've recently been able to get several friends and family members to switch over their dogs to CANIDAE as well! Our cats are fed Felidae and they are just as happy and healthy as their canine brothers. Thanks again.

"Thank you for an awesome product"

Our black Lab Khalua just turn 17 years old last Aug.22, 2007. Eight years ago she was on Iams dog food. She was skinny, her coat was dull and falling out plus she was lathargic and had trouble swimming at the river. My youngest daughter turned us on to CANIDAE, we were amazed how she immediately gained weight, her coat is thick and shinny plus she has so much energy. People who meet her can't believe she is 17 years old, she swims and fetches tennis balls, runs and jumps all day long. I know my dog is getting great diet with all her nutrients she needs daily, as they say the proof is in the pudding. It is a shame you do not have a humandae, because I would buy it. Thank you for an awesome product.

"Thank you CANIDAE for making a superior dog food."

Thank you CANIDAE for making a superior dog food. I've been feeding CANIDAE for many years now and all of my dogs are doing great on it. I have 4 dogs ranging in age from 11 years to one year old. My 11 year old is still active in agility and has been ranked in the top 3 for his breed (AKC stats) in agility for the past 6 years. And was #1 in mid year stats. My newest addition also loves CANIDAE food and I've enclosed some pics of her. Now I know, much to her dismay, this is not exactly the best way to feed a growing pup, but it made for a cute pic. (Excuse the mess in that room, at the time we were remodeling.)

"Immediately after switching Dot to your food we saw a miracle happen"

I purchased a Lowchen puppy (Dot) in September 2006. She has had iflammatory bowel disease her entire life and we've spent thousands of dollars with the Vets in an attempt to figure out the problem.

Dot suffered with mucus stools every day and had bloody stools every four to six days her entire life. She also had a gurgling stomach and would throw up often and become dehydrated when this would coincide with the bloody stools. The vets put her on ZD/Ultra thinking she might have protein allergies. It did not help. After a year, the vet's final decision was to leave her on antibiotics permanently since the antibiotics would lessen the amount of bloody stools to every 10 to 12 days.

I decided I wasn't happy leaving her on the antibiotics. In an effort to help little Dot I decided to try your CANIDAE Lamb and Rice food. Immediately after switching Dot to your food we saw a miracle happen. Her stools are normal. Her stomach is fine. WE and DOT ARE THRILLED!

Evidently Dot has an allergy to corn. Dot will always eat your Lamb and Rice formula from now on. We actually put all three of our dogs on it and they all love it.

Thank you for producing such a quality dog food! You've saved the life of one little Lowchen named Dot who is now healthy and very happy to eat your Lamb and Rice dog food!

"It has been almost a year since I switched and Chynna is doing great"

After the recall scare, I decided to switch dog food for then 11 year old terrier mix dog, Chynna. The food she was on was not one of the recall but she has been having bladder infections her entire life and was overweight despite giving her a food for overweight dogs. After reading about all the stuff that was in other dog foods and all the great reviews for CANIDAE, I decided to let her try it. It has been almost a year since I switched and Chynna is doing great. She has lost close to 5 pounds, has a lot of energy and no bladder infections. I adopted another dog 6 months ago and immediately threw away the food the pound gave and started her on the CANIDAE All-Stages-Of-Life dry food formula. CANIDAE is more expensive than other food, but the money that I saved in medicine for bladder infections and vet visits more than make up for it. One thing to be thankful for with the food recall, it made me more aware about the nutrition of my dogs.

"We are convinced that this is a superior food"

It was very nice to speak with you today. You will see why it was so important for us to have his health and skin in top condition. As a therapy dog, visits cannot be made if an animal has any lesions, open wounds or bare spots, or if they are on any medication. We struggled with Hero's allergies for years. He would develop ear infections and skin lesions, they were very hard to clear up, and he was constantly on strong antibiotics to treat the secondary infection that would develop, and also to try to control his allergic reactions. We have not had to treat Hero for these symptoms for over a year since feeding CANIDAE. We are convinced that this is a superior food. Hero loves CANIDAE, and we do too. (Note: Now all five of our dogs eat CANIDAE.)

With warm regards,
Heddie and Hero

"Thank you, CANIDAE, for not cutting any corners"

Our bulldogs, Minnie Lou (2 years old in the picture) and Jack (3 months old in the picture), are avid fans of CANIDAE All Life Stages. They love the taste and inhale their food like each feeding will be their last! We are thankful to have discovered CANIDAE, as the dry formula has enabled our precious babies to maintain silky smooth coats and a level of health unparalleled by foods of several competitors. We know this because, prior to finding CANIDAE and before Jack was born, we fed Minnie Lou several other "high end" brands. She did not thrive nearly as well on any of them. We recommend CANIDAE All Life Stages for people looking to feed their dogs a safe and nutritious formula at a very reasonable price. CANIDAE's product reflects the company's stated commitment to providing "the highest standard of excellence for product quality, palatability, and customer satisfaction." Thank you, CANIDAE, for not cutting any corners.

"Thanks, CANIDAE for such an amazing food"

I would like to thank CANIDAE for the best dog food I have ever used! I have tried other foods and they haven't even come close to the quality of CANIDAE. I made the mistake of switching from CANIDAE to another brand that was recommended by a close friend. After my dog acquired a skin irritation, dull coat and weight gain, I promptly switched back to CANIDAE and converted my friend also!!!! I will never use another dog food again! I get compliments constantly on how GREAT my Rottweiler "Bart" looks and I tell everyone I owe it to CANIDAE!!!! Thanks, CANIDAE for such an amazing food and for caring for my dogs health!

"Thank you for making a great pet food"

I just wanted to say that I recently switched my two dogs to CANIDAE all life stages and it is wonderful. They are both doing great on it and their coats have never looked better. If I can budget it in I plan to switch our two cats to Felidae when the bag of food we currently have runs out. I’m sure they will do equally as well on it. Thank you for making a great pet food and saving me I’m sure hundreds in future vet bills.

Very happy customer and her very happy pups-

"I love the CANIDAE Chicken & Rice"

Hi, my name is Levi, I'm a 10 month old Newfoundland. I love the CANIDAE Chicken & Rice. My mom says it has helps her maintain a great weight for me as I grow and makes my coat very full and shiny so I can stay out in the show ring. Thank you so much for making a great food!

"He gobbled up the CANIDAE"

I just wanted to take a moment to email you about your Chicken and Rice Dry dog food. I have been reading, researching and evaluating many foods for my 5 fur babies. After having a lot of trouble with perfecting a home cooked diet that worked for all of them, I needed to go back to a more nutritionally regimented diet. CANIDAE was one of several possibilities. I found it at a local pet supply store and the price was very good, less than another brand not as well recommended. So I purchased a bag and gave some old, and some CANIDAE this evening. Most liked it just fine, but my fussy eater picked the old food out and spit it on the floor. Then he gobbled up the CANIDAE. Guess we know where he stands. Thank you for making a quality product.

Sincerely,

"I can't thank you enough for making such an awesome product."

I just wanted to tell you how wonderful your dog food is. Our 11 year old Chesapeke appeared to be on her last leg, and our vet thought so too. I did research and decided to try CANIDAE dog food. What a difference! Her eyes are clearer. Her hips are better, and she keeps ups, and sometimes outlasts our 1 1/2 year old lab and 7 month old Chesepeke! She's now 12 and still going strong. I can't thank you enough for making such an awesome product. I'm spreading the word about your dog food. My only problem with it, is that it's not easy to get!

"The only food I have ever, or will ever feed him is CANIDAE"

I have a 16 month old fawn colored male English mastiff. He came into our lives as a puppy. He is AKC registered and came from a bloodline of champions. The only food I have ever, or will ever feed him is CANIDAE. In addition, I use the CANIDAE biscuits for training purposes. I highly recommend CANIDAE to all dog owners I meet. If you ever consider doing a commercial on the benefits of feeding your dog CANIDAE, I would be more than happy to e-mail you some pictures.

"Bianca is wolfing her food down"

I just wanted to send you some wonderful feedback. I have two Olde English Bulldogges. Bianca is 2 years old, and Mike just turned 9 weeks. Bianca has been a finicky eater her whole life. She has tried Authority, Blue Buffalo, Eukaneuba, ProPlan, and Nutro and has always been a tough pooch to please. We recently switched over to CANIDAE because our new puppy Mike was having digestive problems on Nutro puppy food and they both love CANIDAE. Bianca is wolfing her food down to the last drop and Mike's tummy issues no longer exist. I just wanted to say how pleased I am with your product and we're officially done switching foods. I stand by your product whole heartedly and will be recommending your product to anyone I know looking for a good quality dog kibble.

"Your platinum food is excellent"

I am writing in to let you know that your CANIDAE Platinum food works extremely well for my dog who has either Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease. She's just shy of 2 years old and is a female Lhasa Apso.

It wasn't til she has months of unexplained vomiting, that I started to read dog food labels. For years, prior to her, I always fed Science Diet. I had no idea about the bad ingredients that many dog food formulators use. I had to a lot of research about all of these ingredients and research what's really 'all natural' and what really isn't. It's my dream that all of the garbage gets off the shelves...especially the Science Diet. My vet had me put my dog on their Hypoallergenic diet and it tore up my dog's GI tract..I believe the articial preservatives irritated her lining badly and caused a bleed. Once I stopped it, the bleeding stopped and it started with it. How can a company make a dog food for sick dogs with harmful chemicals? I just don't get it.

Anyhow, by pure luck, I got the idea to try the low fat/protein CANIDAE food for El-e. To my amazement, she began to improve and within 2 weeks, wow, she was so much better and then all of her bowel symptoms went away.

I just wanted to let you guys know that your platinum food is excellent for dogs with bowel issues. Treating this illness is tiring and can take a long time before you find a food that will work. I also supplement El-e with raw foods from my diet.

Hats off to your company and your formulators. I'm very pleased that someone makes food responsibly and cares about what they are making.

Just wanted you to know..and I always recommend CANIDAE to my friends. I watched my dog heal on this food.

Please keep up the good work and keep producing good, healthy food for our animals.

"Hotel for Dogs casting call"

Last Tues I had a cast call at Dream Works Studios for Sunny to play a part in the new movie, Hotel for Dogs. They were so impressed by his coat, (I know a lot is genetics) but he’s being fed good food and a think he has become nicer since I've changed to CANIDAE. Thank you.

"His coat is markedly shinier"

We first discovered CANIDAE when my dog (I bring him to work) barged into another dog's office and began eating all his food. When he would barely touch his old kind and devoured yours, we decided to switch. His coat is markedly shinier and I feel much better feeding him multiple protein sources instead of just 1, and without extra preservatives. Thanks!

"Dear little Mabel gobbled up your food"

10 years ago, I had a very sick dog that was barely able to keep down any food. After numerous tests, the vet had no conclusive explanation. I watched my dear little rescue languish for months. Never one to give up, I found CANIDAE through much research, word of mouth and trial and error. I am happy to report that dear little Mabel gobbled up your food and never looked back- in fact thrived. As a result, I have been a loyal customer for almost 10 years. Not only have I fed your wonderful dog food to my own beloved dogs but also to numerous strays and fosters that have passed through on their way to 'forever homes'. I have had nothing but wonderful results with your healthy food and have recommended it whole-heartedly to anyone I come across with a dog (or cat!) The reason I write today is because YOU NEED A NATIONAL COMMERCIAL! I know it's expensive, but I truly feel that your food is the best on the market and right now there all A LOT of people that need to know about you! I will contribute!

PS. Mabel was the rescue that 'stayed' (NO ONE believes she is 13 years old!) and she encouraged me to write! Woof!

"We can't thank you enough"

Just wanted to say thanks, we have always tried to feed our dogs good quality, wholesome food. We recently decided that we could do better. We lost 2 Goldens to cancer in a short period of time and ended up rescuing another in need. This dog was in poor shape. He was beyond skinny, his almost non-existent coat was dead and he had the worst case of dermatitis that my husband, a veterinarian, had ever seen. Well, here we are two and a half months later and we have a GORGEOUS dog. He's put on weight and muscle, his dermatitis is almost non existent and, he has the beginnings of a coat and it glows. We can't thank you enough for making a quality product. In light of the recent recalls, we can sleep at night knowing that we are doing right by our beloved dogs. We have several friends and clients that have made the switch after asking for recommendations. They too are pleased. Thank you so much.

"I am SO grateful my vet carries CANIDAE!"
In the wake of this pet food recall, I am SO grateful my vet carries CANIDAE! We already had a yellow lab on this food and we had just gotten a new lab from the humane society and she was acting sick. I took her to our vet and he suggested we switch her to CANIDAE food, like our other dog eats. Within a week, she was acting closer to normal, had more energy and was generally acting like a healthy dog. She's been on the food for almost a month now and we can really see a huge difference in her personality and general appearance. Her coat thickened up and is shiny now. I've had dogs my entire life (don't ask!) and this is the first time I've paid extra money for dog food. It is WELL worth the extra few cents to know our pets are eating a healthy diet. I wish I had known about this food 7 years ago, before our beloved black lab died.

"If I only knew then what I know now"
I want to send a note to thank you and our new standard poodle puppy thanks you for such wonderful wholesome food. I discovered your "All Life Stages" after doing considerable internet research on pet food. We recently lost our beloved golden retriever after a lengthy illness at only the age of 9. She suffered most of her adult life with skin and ear infections and lacked the energy of many other dogs. Never once did my old vet ever inform me that many of her problems could have been from the food she ate. I wish I had a better understanding of pet nutrition instead of spending a small fortune on medicated ear drops, shampoo; you name it. If I only knew then what I know now. The breeder sent us home 9 years ago with a bag of Purina and we just assumed that we were feeding her nutritious food. Little did I know that we were feeding her a cheap granola bar of corn, wheat and soy...We feel so guilty now it almost makes us cry. When we purchased our new puppy this breeder sent us home with a bag high quality holistic food. We had a hard time finding a retailer near us so I decided to do an internet search for a similar product. That's when I discovered the real horror of what was in the Purina we fed our old dog. Time after time I found customer and independent reviews on the internet raving about CANIDAE. It was available at our local pet store and our puppy is now on his third bag and he loves, loves, loves it. I also love it because I know he is eating the best possible food we could find, we also get tons of compliments about how his coat shines. I have already converted one friend to CANIDAE and I have told many more about your product. Thank You CANIDAE...Thank You

"My Labs eat less and maintain a healthy coat and skin"
We breed English Labradors and were feeding a very good food. My breeding males were getting "Hot Spots" and I had to place them on meds. My females were getting ear infections, paw licking etc. It was a nightmare! I ran blood work on all my breeding dogs and found that the corn in food was causing these issues. I researched and switched to CANIDAE 2 years ago and have not given the first Med! My Labs eat less and maintain a healthy coat and skin. This food is amazing and I send my pups home with CANIDAE and tell my clients "The Story" I have around 30 pups a year and 90% of them are still on CANIDAE with happy owners. I have had clients switch their other dogs as well and see the difference. Thank you CANIDAE for the great product!

"You can visibly see a difference"
I can't tell you what a difference this dog food has made in my dog. For years he's been over weight and growing fatty tumors. I've been feeding him Science Diet Lite at the direction of my vet. I've recently had the opportunity to get a lesson in proper nutrition from someone who is very well versed in the subject; when I really began to understand what was in the other food I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe my vet would steadfastly recommend it. I've had my dog on CANIDAE for a little better than 6 weeks now and what a difference!!

He's lost 8 lbs, his fatty tumors are beginning to shrink, his coat is shinny and he's got more energy than he's had in a long time. You can visibly see a difference. I had a vet appointment on Friday (the day before the heads-lines broke about MenuFoods/Science Diet) and discussed with my vet the virtues of CANIDAE and the down side of SD and inquired as to why, as a vet, she would recommend a product so lacking in nutritional value. Well, you can imagine how this went over but I was passionate about the results I can already see and she was passionate about all the data done for Hill's SD. We parted still in disagreement and as I stepped into the reception area to pay the bill I noticed all the food stocked and sold by the vet was Hill's brand. Not Science Diet per se, but still Hill's. I was disappointed to truly realize it was the almighty dollar instead of the true health of my beloved family member that was important here. I have become the biggest fan of CANIDAE and now, knowing with certainty that you don't participate in forced animal testing, I will make sure everyone I know gets this link and I will be your biggest walking advertisement. People need to be made aware. I thought I was a great pet parent and a pretty smart human being and I spent years feeding incorrectly. We've put 3 animals down due to cancer and I will make every possible effort to ensure that doesn't again. Thanks again for a great product and for giving my boy a whole new lease on a healthy life.

Very Sincerely,
Pam Irish

"CANIDAE is the key to their successful diet"
Four years ago I found myself dog less for the first time since I was a child. After much research I decided that adopting a retired racing greyhound would be ideal for both the dog and my life style. Within nine months I had adopted three!! Sirius, Belle and Casey who now range in ages from 6 – 8 yrs of age are the most amazing and wonderful companions! During my initial research I learned that many experienced greyhound adopters recommend feeding CANIDAE. I am so glad that I took their advice. My greyhounds are happy, energetic and literally glow with health! We take overnight road trips quite often and CANIDAE easily goes with us as our main staple. I rarely see any ill effects from the stresses related with traveling and I’m convinced that CANIDAE contributes greatly to this. I am told frequently "Your dogs are SO soft and shiny! What do you feed them?" I am so proud of the wonderful impressions my “Ambassadors” leave with people who inquire about retired greyhounds and gladly share that CANIDAE is the key to their successful diet. Thank you for such a “greyt” product!

"What a beautiful coat!"
I have an 18 month old Black Lab/Terrier mix, JACOB, who has been on the CANIDAE All Life Stages diet since he was 10 weeks old. He's a whopping 85lbs now, mostly muscle. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received from passers-by, Vet's and even breeders commenting on what a beautiful coat and physique Jacob has. I was especially pleased to hear from my Vet that his teeth are in excellent condition, not a hint of bad breath or tartar. I'm convinced it's CANIDAE!!!

"My dog can enjoy life now"
I adopted a lab named Tucker from my local humane society five months ago. At 9 months old, he was a wreck; ear infections, skin itches, sneezing! The Humane society gave us what I thought was a quality dog food (Science Diet) and recommended we keep him on it. We did. 2 months later his ear infections kept coming back, his skin itched just as bad, and he had a bald spot on his side! About that time, I read a book that talked about labeling in dog food and what it all REALLY meant. I was astonished. Needless to say, I was online researching my heart out until I found a food that fit the nutritional needs of my lab with a label I could understand. I discovered CANIDAE and drove 45 minutes to the nearest store to purchase it. Three months later, his hair has grown back, he hardly itches at all and the ear infections are a thing of the past. Thankfully, a store closer to home has started carrying CANIDAE. I thanked them profusely and congratulated them on such an excellent decision! Thank you CANIDAE. My dog can enjoy life now, instead of being plagued by pains and itches all day long.

"Your food contributes to her being with us today."

I'd just like to tell you how wonderful your food is. I've got three dogs, all eat CANIDAE. My oldest, Ilsa is on CANIDAE Platinum, and she LOVES it! Ilsa has had a bald chest for quite some time (unknown cause), and CANIDAE Platinum seems to be helping her regrow her coat! It keeps her at perfect weight too!

My "middle dog", Ronin, is an extremely fussy eater. CANIDAE is one of the only foods he'll touch - and he eats it with gusto! He has gained enough weight on CANIDAE that his breeder has decided that it's back to the show ring with him!

The 'baby dog" is Ada, a four month old Welsh Corgi. She refused to eat the food her breeder sent her home with, once she got a whiff of Ronin's CANIDAE - she's now a CANIDAE girl, and her weight is ideal. Obesity is a big no-no in corgis, so I'm very happy CANIDAE is keepig her fit and trim!

"Your food contributes to her being with us today."
I have a story I would like to share. I got a Yorkie and had her only a few weeks when (believe it or not on my birthday she became very ill) I thought she was going to die and they even made me sign a do not resuscitate form. I spent close to $2000 trying to diagnose her. I never did receive a definite diagnosis and finally brought her home with the understanding she may not live. They thought she had an intestinal problem. They put her on hills prescription diet (RD) but I noticed she really wasn't doing well. I was searching for something and somehow came upon your food. I tried it and Ms. Koko on Feb. 13th became one year old. I truly believe your food contributes to her being with us today and ran into one of your representatives at Wilson's feed Napa, CA today and shared my story with him. He was very informative and told me I should share my story. Thank you for putting out such a good food. I have four dogs and each and every one of them gets your food and Ms. Koko and my kids thank you for her well being and life with us still going strong and feisty.

"We can see a HUGE difference in his coat!"
Just wanted to let you know how happy I am to have stumbled across CANIDAE! Our Chihuahua was itching terribly, sneezing, and had a dull coat. After trying other, so-called "premium" foods, I saw an ad for CANIDAE. He's been eating the dry food solely for over 3 months now, and we can see a HUGE difference in his coat, and no more itching! Thank you for a wonderful product.

"Your dog food has literally saved the lives of all 15 animals I care for"
I run a small but quickly growing wolf sanctuary out here in Pahrump, NV. For years we used ### dry food as this was the only thing their delicate systems could handle. Recently, ### changed their formula and when I called to ask them about the changes, they stated they hadn't changed anything. Yet I had a yard full of sick animals.

I was very worried, and started to change their diet to human meat which quickly became more that we could afford. With research I found your website and felt I had to try it.

Your dog food has literally saved the lives of all 15 animals I care for. We were very fortunate that the Animal House on Lola Lane had just opened and they carry your food because it's what they use for their own animals. I'm writing to both applaude you and beg of you not to change your "All Life Stages" Formula. I have wolves from 2 years old to 14 years old all at the healthiest weight they have ever been on your food. I even had an akita mix who has visited every doctor, dermatologist and specialist in the surrounding counties without a cure for her swollen, sore ridden feet. After a week on your food, her feet have healed and her swelling is all but gone!

I know you were running a campaign awhile back to spread the word about Candidae, and we have. Not because of a prize, but because truly you have allowed us to see first hand the benefits your food has over anything on the market today! I would like to link to your website, on our sanctuary website and get some information from you to post there. Whatever you normally give out to a press release or if you prefer our own experiences with your food.

Thank you for caring enough to make a high quality food for these guys, and still making it affordable to those of us crazy enough to fill our homes and yards with these wonderful creatures!

"My dogs continue to thrive powered by CANIDAE!"
I Just wanted you to know that we had a fabulous time in Arizona. Their was almost 1000 dogs there from all over the world. Gracie did well but had an 'off course' so she didn't advance to the finals. Chip, however, did awesome! He was one of 12 dogs to make the Finals.... a huge accomplishment. And he came 6th out of 40 dogs in his division. A proud moment for me for sure. I've enclosed a photo of Chip in Arizona taken by professional photographer Tien Tran. Thanks again for the coupons... it is much appreciated. My dogs continue to thrive powered by CANIDAE!

"She's in the Best Shape of Her Life"
I just wanted to take the time to comment on how much of a change your product has made in my dog. At 66 lbs, she was a total porker. But after 6 months on the Platinum formula, she's in the best shape of her life at a slim, healthy 55 lbs. Thank you so much for helping my baby get her energy back!

"I love your product"
I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how much I love your product. I've been feeding it to my 'little girl' Rags (an 8 year old Lhasa Apso) for almost 3 years now. I read an article titled "The Truth About What's Really In Pet Food" and that's what prompted me to look for an all-natural, human-grade food that's as good for her as anything I'd eat myself. Health and nutrition is very important to me and I value her health as much as our own. She has thrived on CANIDAE. Her coat is soooo soft and shiny, and her eyes are clear and bright. Not to mention she still plays like a dog half her age.

My sister and brother-in-law are getting a Yorkie puppy soon and I sent them a link to your website. If I have to, I'll get them a bag as a gift, just to make sure they start using it. The retailer that carries it (Brandt's Mill in Lebanon, PA) is less than 5 minutes away for both of us, so there's no excuse to buy anything else. Thanks for making sure us 'fussy dog parents' have such a wonderful product to give our pets.

"CANIDAE is incredible!!"
Before using CANIDAE, my dogs had dry and dull coats, runny eyes, and seemed like they didn't have the energy levels that young dogs should have. I switched to CANIDAE almost a year ago, and the difference this food makes is incredible. Their coats are amazing, I've never felt Rottweilers coats that were as soft or look as shiney. The dry and dull coats of the past are gone. Their eyes are clear and seem to sparkle now, on top of which their energy levels have boosted. The overall results are just astounding, my dogs are much healthier, and much happier! In turn, so am I. It didn't take long to see start seeing results either. Even during the gradual transistion, I noticed things improving. Not only that, the dogs absolutely love it! During the transition stage, they'd actually pick out the CANIDAE first, and then eat the other brand when there was nothing else left. I've done nothing but rave on about what a great food this is. I've had numerous people comment on my dogs, and asked me what I feed, as well as telling friends and faimly about it. CANIDAE is awesome! Such an amazing product. So glad to finally see a food available that isn't crammed with fillers. :)

Thanks a bunch from Tysa, PJ and me!

"Since the very first bowl everything changed!"
Just a quick note to let you how much our 2 year old Sheltie, Jasmine, loves CANIDAE! When my wife and I first got her as a puppy we grabbed a bag of another brand of food and didn't think anything about it. But shortly after that our puppy was having stomach problems and very loose stools. A friend of ours mentioned that she uses CANIDAE and we found a local feed store that carried it. Since the very first bowl everything changed! Our dog's eyes are bright and glassy, her coat is soft and shiny and her intestinal health is excellent. Even our vet was impressed. (They told us all dog foods are the same.) Thank you so much for making such an important product. I only wish more people knew about you!

Thanks again, Kuhn Family

"Her allergies disappeared"
Gracie Hi, I just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am with CANIDAE. I am a current owner of a Miniature Pinscher, Ciara. Within the first week of purchasing Ciara from her breeder, I noticed her itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, and flaky skin. At the time, I was feeding her Strong Point puppy food, that was given to me from her breeder. After a Vet visit, they had told me that Ciara suffered from food allergies. Right away I tried other puppy foods like Eukanuba, Iams, and Science Diet. Nothing seemed to stop her symptoms. I finally did my own research online and came across CANIDAE. When I read the ingredients list I was amazed to finally find a food with no corn, wheat, soy, or by-products. Ciara is now 7 months old and everywhere I take her, I get asked 'how come your dog's coat is so shiny?'. She has no more flaky skin, watery eyes or runny nose; it's like her allergies disappeared! Also, it's more convenient because we have (2) five-year old Tiny Toy Poodles, and a one-year old White German Shepherd, and they can all eat the same food! I recommend this food to all my fellow Dog Lovers! Attached is a photo of my gorgeous, healthy, and shiny Min Pin!

Thanks, Sarah

"Thanks"
Gracie loves the snap biscuits - she's learned the word "cookie" and runs to the cabinet when I tell her she's going to get one. I just got the canned food to put in her Kong when I am at work. I am so glad I didn't have to play "musical foods" until I found the right one for her. Her coat is smooth and silky!

"I will never have to browse the labels again"
When I got my first dog (Ivy) years ago I was faced with a world of choices at the pet store. I wanted the best for her, but with so many options it was difficult to know where to begin to find the highest quality food and treats.

Luckily a kind gentleman who saw me scrutinizing the ingredients labels of the bags of dried food pointed out CANIDAE. One glance and I realized this gentleman saved me a lot of time and energy. I have been using it exclusively for 4 years now. Yet, the story doesn't end there... although I've been tempted by the flashy looks and promises of other brands, none of them have maintained the ingredient standards of your product and I remain happily loyal to CANIDAE.

I am now feeding CANIDAE to a second dog that I recently adopted (Hazel), and I am confident that this decision will be reflected in a lifetime of good health for her too. Hazel is one of many foster dogs I've taken in for a local rescue group, and luckily for them, CANIDAE is the product I fed each one while in my care. Despite all of the reasons a stray might be too upset to have an appetite, they all had a hearty interest in CANIDAE. Hopefully they are still enjoying it in their new homes, because I walked each individual at the adoption events over to the area where CANIDAE is on display at the pet store, recommending that they continue the same healthy diet for their new addition. Thank you for understanding that our dogs are not merely pets, but family members. Responsible owners should look for the same quality foods for their animals as they would for any other loved one. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how easy CANIDAE makes that for us. I will never have to browse the labels again as long as you keep up the good work!

"They like it. A lot."
I recently purchased a 4lb. bag of Felidae Platinum dry food for my cats. Yesterday I began gradually introducing it into their diet by mixing it with their regular food. They like it. A lot. I had your food stored in a large Tupperware cannister, one which I am having a hard time imaging my cats being able to get into without having opposable thumbs. Regardless of my lack of imagination in this matter, my boyfriend came home from work earlier this evening to discover the lid of the cannister on the floor, and evidence that the cats had eaten a quantity of food. I am greatly, and it scarcely needs to be said, favorably impressed with how much my cats are enjoying it. Tupperware may be getting a somewhat less enthusiastic letter from me soon.
