Canidae to Merrick?

[missdeeliciouz]

I recently had Bobby on Canidae but then I read up about how there's been acetaminophen found in the food. So, after home-cooking for awhile I've decided to try Merrick Wilderness All Life Stages Dry Food.

Anyone have any bad experiences with Merrick?
Any input is welcome!

Hmmmmmm...... I haven't heard of that dog food, but hopefully someone can help you.

What is acetaminophen anyway?

I changed Riley from Eukanuba to Canidae.

I didn't have a bad experience with it....Murfee just didn't like it. The little turkey would spit out ALL of the veggies so I had a mess all over the place. Merry Christmas

interesting to find out i was actually considering using canidae wet mixed in w/her r.c dry for pm meal..but not anymore..acetaminophen is what tylenol and aspirin is

Idk about the acetaminophen part. I just read tons of articles about that being a rumor.

Heres the article link

It seems the laboratory that was doing the testing were making false reports. They did it to more than one manufacturer.

I really hope they get to the bottom of this because if its true, I'm taking Riley off of it.

Mine eat Canidae and we have had no problems. I think the acetaminophen (Tylenol) was a rumor. There was never a recall and if their had been a recall, it would definetly had been all over YT.

I posted something about this awhile ago on YT. I believe it is a rumor. Evidently the sample of Canidae was taken to the lab in a ziploc bag. There is really no credibility in that but I would be nervous too. I would not stop feeding Canidae for that reason but they seem to be having other quality control issues (hard plastic found in snap biscuits) that concerns me. I have seen a picture of this (on YT), so this one is true. Merrick had aso had some quality control issues I have heard. I would be uncomfortable feeding that also.

What was the plastic thing found in? The actually dog food or a dog biscuit?

YIKES!! Nevermind! I just searched it and found the thread. Thats scary! I only give Riley the Canidae All Stages dog food, so hopefully nothing like that will happen with his food.

I feed merricks and would be interested to know what it is you have heard about them.

I have always fed my dogs Merricks. Awesome food and the fact that it's all natural works for me.

My sister was feeding her dog something else that was causing a corn allergy and I had her switch him to the Merricks. His allergies went away and his hair grew back in the patches that had fallen out.

Home cooking would probably be best but I personally work full time and have three young children so I don't have that much extra time. The Merricks seems to be very good and lulu loves it.

Good luck.

I believe acetaminophen is asprin. I did hear something about this a while ago...I spoke to my friend (who owns a speciality pet store) who sells Canidae and she did some research. She said this is NOT true. Where so many dog foods were being recalled, a while back, they thought it may be a hoax of some kind to make Canidae look bad. This is what I was told. I do feed Canidae.

[MyTrixie143]

It was said to be a rumor passed around about Canidae.
The company itself (Canidae) said the rumor was no true.

I feel all of mine Canidae, have been for awhile and they do great on it!! It is the only food they really love and really helps their coat as well.

When I still used to feed dry food to Chloe....I used to fed Candiae and she LOVED it....and I tried feed her Merrick too..but she didnt like it at much (or I should said..not at all!!) She didn't like the veggie and such in it....and she refused to eat it!

Candiae is great! I highly recommend it!!

There was a recall awhile back because some kind of metal got into one of their canned foods.

They look okay since then but I read on YT about quality problems again so I don't know if it was this incident or another...
