If your dogs aren't showing any signs of allergies (dry skin, head shaking, biting feet, ear infections), then the Canidae Wet and Chicken Soup dry are excellent choices. However, I only like the Chicken Soup PUPPY formula. The Adult formula has too many fillers and many more grains in it. The PUPPY formula is actually an All Life Stages formula and can also be fed to adult dogs.
The place where I get my dog food has been out of the 20lb bag so I've been buying two 5lb bags of Canidae and with my 3, it lasts me 2 - 2.5 weeks. |
It is the Chicken Soup puppy formula I am using. I did not realize it is an all stages food. That is actually what I am wanting. I have 2 pups, one young adult, and a senior. No way to keep them all out of each others food. So, all stages works best. The Canidae Lamb and Rice Canned does not contain barley. I have also used the Chicken and Rice canned and it does contain barley -- Thankfully, I have not seen a problem with allergies with it.
My crew also liked the Diamond Small Breed Puppy food -- but I know many are against the Diamond brand because of the tainted food over a year ago. It also had barley in it. My favorite pick was Innova -- but they don't seem to like it. I even mixed it in their other kibble and the little triangles were left in the bowl. It is hard to find a premium food that all 4 like, is suitable, and I can find locally. The Canidae is available a good 45-60 minutes away from me. I ordered the last case from Petfooddirect.
