Canine caviar question
 

Hi everyone! I am new here but have always loved coming to this forum because everyone has such good information and advice!

I have a 4 year old yorkie who had intestinal problems as a puppy and was given Hills W/D every time she was sick and it seemed to help so I decided to keep her on it! She has now been on it consecutively for about 3 1/2 years and I had no idea that it wasn't that great of a food!!! I think I have decided on giving canine caviar a shot because it is not much more expensive than what I am already paying for the W/D! And it's soo much better for her! She poops a whole lot, has a ton of itchiness around her face and licks her paws to death! My question is which flavor would someone recommend for her in both kibble and canned (I mix them together)?

I am also getting another yorkie puppy in a few weeks and want to put him on the canine caviar as well. Should I get the actual puppy food or would the ALS be okay for him? Also, I would want to mix dry and wet food for him too! Is it ok to give him the canned food with his food since there is no specific canned puppy food?

Sorry this was so long winded! I had no idea that my Roxy wasn't getting very good food this whole time and want to change that for her! And start the puppy off right! Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions!!!

CC is ALS (all life stages), so it should be fine for your pup. Grain free would be best, esp if your girl is itching around her face & gnawing @ her paws. I have 2 w/sensitive tummies & they both do very well on grain free versions of CC. They loved Open Sky & currently enjoying Wilderness for dinner...want to try the Buffalo next, once it comes out.
I haven't tried the CC canned, but they are for supplemental feedings only. So as a topper, it would be a good source of moisture added to the kibble. Mine get Weruva.

Thank you sooo much for responding! So do you think it would be alright to use the canned 50/50 with the kibble or get another canned like you do? I have heard great things about weruva!

Thanks again!

I feed them weruva for breakfast (mixed w/honest kitchen) not as a topper for kibble, only bc mine will scarf the kibble down w/out chewing. They get CC kibble for dinner, they eat it fine w/out any toppers. I guess it will come down to how your's do on the food.;) I just wanted to get more moisture in their diet bc 2 of mine have struvite crystals...so moisture is key to getting rid of them.

Hi!

I have been feeding the grain free Canine Caviar for about 7 1/2 months now. Riley absoutely Loves it and that makes me Happy!!
I feed each formula for just short of 3 months to make sure they agreed with him, and right now, I am switching formulas daily between the Wilderness, Open Sky and Wild Ocean. I bought a bunch of the 1lb bags at a store near me. I always do the same formula for breakfast and dinner, but every day has been a different formula! I also bought several of the cans and I mix about a teaspoon of wet canned into his kibble. I also bought a bag of the Synergy and put about a teaspoon of that...

He goes Nuts for his meals!! :thumbup: :D

Thank you all so much for the information! I was also wondering about mixing in the synergy with the kibble! Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere near me that sells CC so I am trying to find the best price online now!

Thanks again!

You are welcome!

I would try www.chewy.com or I think there is another: www.petfoodstation.com I ordered from chewy.com when I first started feeding it. I haven't ordered from the petfoodstation but know others who have. They sell the smaller 4lb bags there. :thumbup:

I put our Princess Sophie on the CC Puppy food getting her started here at home and she's doing great on it! She's growing very well and our Vet is very pleased with how she is coming along. She actually did research on this particular food because it was one she was not familiar with and just wanted to be sure, for herself, that it was a good dog food! Sophie loves it and we do too (just not the same way - LOL)!!:D

Is Synergy by Natural Balance and is it dry food?

No... Synergy is canine caviar. Synergy vegetable mix.

Hi There, I feed both my girls CC grain free open sky & Venison kibble. So far it has been great. One of my girls has allergies and this food is really good for her. I used the canned duck and turkey when they were puppies but no longer do I love this food.

LOL Peanut is on the same flavors!! I just finished another bag of the Open Sky and started him on the Venison!!

So far so good!! :thumbup:

I ordered the Synergy! OMG Peanut is in love with it!

I put some in a bowl and threw some water over it- let it sit for ½ hour. Then it was nice and soft, I put it in a sandwich baggie and through it in the fridge. I feed Peanut in the morning and evening he gets 1/8 of a cup each time I throw a little of the Synergy in there and he licks his bowl clean… well he will usually eat all the Synergy and then go back and eat his kibble!! :rolleyes:

We love CC here too!
Have tried Open Sky (Duck) and Wilderness (Venison). They love both!
I also add about a tablespoon of the CC canned Turkey as a topper sometimes. I break out a can for the boys about once every 2 weeks.

:thumbup: I just started Peanut on the Venison... you know I think he likes it better than the Open Sky! :D
