Canidae Dog Food vs. Nutro... I recently switched my two yorkies to Canidae. I was happier w/ the ingredients of Canidae. I like how it has oils for their skin/coat. One of my yorkies had a very dry and wirey coat and was CONSTANTLY scratching! I thought that maybe it was the corn in the science diet dog food I had her on when she was a pup. So I switched her to nutro and she was still scratching. Her coat is sooo much better now! So Im pleased to say that I like Canidae and wanted to get the word out.... How many other breeders/owners use canidae? Are you all pleased with it too? Do you have your pups weaned to canidae? Just curious...:) |
Mine get Canidae and Artemis. They are doing great on it. I tried several kinds before finally finding this mixture, such as Eukaneuba (sp?) and Royal Canin. I was impressed by the quality of Canidae and luckily mine both actually liked it. |

canidaie is supposed to be good dog food, I have chester on solid gold and it is good as well. He liked the artemis but its only mail order and the shipping is high. |
I have Uma on Canadae, and I am very pleased. |
do they have a website for the Canidae? I would like to look into it. |
I am about to try Canidae We got our pup, Violet - 2 1/2 weeks ago and the breeder was giving her Iams Smart Puppy. After reading the reviews, I see that there are much better foods out there, including Canidae. I read some threads on this board, and saw that you can have Canidae send you free samples. I filled out this form on Friday on their website, and got an email back within a couple of hours that my samples were on their way! How's that for service!!! Heres a link to the form I used: http://www.canidae.com/company/forms/email-general.html ~Cheryl |
We've been using Nutro which has been much better for my Shi Tzu's skin (bad allergies to air I think). But he still has flaking and itching. So, thanks - I'm going to send in for some samples of Canidae! |
Canidae I switched Zoey and Boston to Candiae this summer and it seems to be fine for them. In fact I feel that Zoey eats more regularly now and her poop is regular too. |
I feed my girls Canidae and really like it, they do too;) |
How does it compare to Nutro price wise? |
Canidae Dog Food vs. Nutro Gracie has only eaten kibble and I give her Artemis--it's the tiniest kibble I've ever seen and she loves it. She's done well on it...it's a pretty highly rated food. |
OK........... I live in a small town, where do you buy these foods?? esp canadae so many ppl here rave about it I want my babies to try it too! Thanks!! |
jlo&brit, go to www.canidae.com and click on store locator...Type in your zip code and it will tell you the closest stores to you that sell it. If they don't sell it in your area, you can always order it online from a place like www.petfooddirect.com |
I also have switched over to Candidae, and mine love it! And, ever since, Livvi, (my biewer who has white hair) has been on it, she hasn't had any more tear stains. When she was on Nutro, it was sooo bad. So there are many benefits to switching over to a great quality food, rather than feeding our babies crap......YAY Candidae!!!!!! |

Your welcome :) |
Candidae is a fantastic food. Much better than Nutro. My crew loved Candidae but the local feed store stopped carrying so now my kids get Wellness. I would love to go back to Candidae when we move if its available in our new town. I would get it shipped, but with the amt I have to feed my pittie each month, shipping breaks me. |
I had Baby on Artemis, and she loved it. But then she started vomiting. So I switched her. I was debating between Canidae and Innova. I chose the Innova, and she loves that. I'm sure she'd love the Canidae too. :p |
We use Innova now, but the only place I've found that carries it locally has a hard time selling it so you have to watch the dates! Bummer!! |

I don't know the price of Nutro now, we did raise our Cassie on Nutro lamb and rice dry formula and she had a long life of being healthy, but we switched Baby Blessing to the Canidae Dry Food For All Sizes and also give it to DollieDae, they love it. We get ours through the Feed Stores as our local pet stores don't carry this brand. I switched when our friend TophersMom here at YT told us how well hers did on it. I don't care what price a food is, if it is quality food for them, that is all we want. We prefer to feed the dry foods. I give the girls baby carrots cut up in tiny pieces as a treat and call them carrot cookies :) the word carrot cookies really turns them on with excitement :) Wishing you a happy and enjoyable time here at Yorkie Talk, nice to meet you. Patti and Jack Baby Blessing and DollieDae |

We just switched Lucy to Canidae as well as my mom's two older yorkies, since Lucy was eating their food and vice versa. They seem to like it, but I have been mixing it with Nutro Max puppy and Eukunuba puppy since we already had the bags and I don't want it to go to waste. But after those are all gone she will be on strictly Canidae. We use the All life stages kind, it has made her go poo more though, but at least they are solid. |
Artimas has 29% and 30% protein........Are our babbies supposed to have that much? I thought I had read that it needs to be under 28%?????? |
nutro made tede sick I switched to artimas. love the small bites. would of done candies but he would not eat it jg |
We have noticed that their tearing is much less, their fur is shiny and a big plus Baby Blessing quit scratching :) We always feed ours seperately so we know for sure the amount each eat DollyDae is a bit fussy, she has to have a tiny bit of Trader Joe's cottage cheese blended on hers, MY FAULT. Our personal preference is not to free feed, makes it nice that they each do their number just about the same time twice a day. The Canidae we feed is The All Life Stage, for all ages. Patti and Jack |
just ordered i just ordered canidaw dry food, wet food and treats. Shipping really got me but the dog food really wasnt that expensive. $25 for a 16.5 lb bag. I hope my baby likes it, shes worth it! |
When I recently got my little guy a couple of weeks ago, he was on Eukanuba. We switched him to Innova because Canidae doesn't make puppy food and our vet told us that puppies and adults have different needs. Maybe I will switch him to Canidae when he is older. What does everyone think about a good puppy food vs. all life stages like Canidae? |

You don't have to worry about your pup getting enough nutrients if it is an all life stages food. Before I started homecooking, my maltese used to eat all life stages food, and she did not have any problems :) Here is an excerpt from their website: www.canidae.com In nature your pets couldn’t choose between a puppy, kitten, or light formulation, only a diet of mainly meats and small amounts of grain. They simply eat more or less, depending on age and activity levels. CANIDAE and FELIDAE both contain more than 50% of high quality meat proteins. We have also included digestive enzymes that closely resemble those found in nature. Puppies will require a higher caloRic and calcium phosphorous intake than an adult dog would, therefore we suggest feeding twice as much to puppies up to 6 months of age. Our standard recommended feeding guidelines for an adult dog is 1 cup for every 25lbs of body weight. You can be assured with 468 kcal per cup, your puppy will be getting more than most standard puppy foods on the market. |
