does anyone have problems? should i stop?

i'm waiting on a shipment of Canidae

I have seven little ankle biters aka Yorkies plus Boo the Boxer. My little pack has been on Canidae All Life Stages with Missing Link sprinkled over the top for well over a year and I am well pleased with the results. Everyone eats well, and has beautiful coats. If the food I was feeding was involved in the re-call, I'd quit feeding it -- you never know -- all it takes is a few contaminated kibbles to wreak havok with these delicate little doggies.

Yes, I, too, heard it was wheat gluton. That is the protein that is in wheat flour. My guess is that it is what gives the meat mixture its firm texture for the sliced cuts portion of the type of dogfood that was affected.

Yes, I read that days ago about the wheat gluten being the problem. No, California Natural which is a natura product as well as Inova, Canidae and some of the other higher quality brands were not part of the recall.

You are right, Wheat Glutten....this is also an additive to "Forbid", what is used to help stop your pup from eating their poop....there was an article about dogs dying from this too.

I spent all afternoon yesterday mixing and baking food. Junior loves it! He doesn't take his face out of his bowl until it's gone.

Sully is on all dry food - Blue Buffalo (lamb and brown rice). We switched from Nutro Small Bites a few months ago and it was a very good decision. He loves it!

alisonJ · 03-24-2007, 09:04 AM

Edie loves Blue Buffalo too....
