Please don't feed Cesar's!
 

I know that our dogs all love Cesar's wet food but it is SO bad for them. It is made with so many bi-products which we should not be giving our animals. If you are going to feed wet food, at least feed one that is made from good quality ingredients. My yorkie loves Innova and Canidae which are both excellent brands. I hate to see our babies eating the junk that is scraped from the floors. Plus, when we buy their product we are supporting the company and keeping them in business. They should not be allowed to put any of that stuff in dog food. The better brands are a little more expensive but definitely worth it.

:confused: Did something happen that makes you say this?

Evo
 

I feed Mason Innova Evo here is what is said about it and the ingredients:

I totally agree! The high quality ingredients are especially important to yorkies who are prone to pancreatitus.

Where do you get the Innova EVO? Can you get it at Petsmart or Petco?

The only reason that I wrote in about the Cesar's is because I just wanted everyone to be aware of all of the bi products. When I brought my puppy home, my breeder had sent some Cesar's and I just assumed that it was a good food. It wasn't until I joined Yorkie Talk and started doing some research that I found out that wasn't the case.

Do they make the Innova EVO in wet food or only dry? The protein and fat seem a bit high. My baby is a little pudgy so I have to watch her diet. :)

We used to feed ours caesar's too until someone at Petsmart saw itin our buggy and informed us it wasn't good...I've since read about it on here also so we changed :)

My vet just told us on Thursday that the ceasers we have been feeding is a really bad food, he says that its as bad as cat food for them,that even tho they love it,they also would like cat food too, he recommended we get them on a quality dry kibble and to add whatever we needed to to make the change over...trying to change now,but of cource they are having a fit..oh well,kids cant live on candy and ice cream for all meals eather :eek:

I totally agree. Thank you for posting this. My argument is that it's not even more expensive! At my local Pet Supplies Plus a 5 lb bag of Canidae is 5.99. It takes Loki 6 weeks to eat one bag and he is 8 pounds. Is $1 a week too much to spend for quality food? I sure wouldn't call that expensive. :-)

I can't find canidae! I'm in Queens, NY. Where can You get that? I'm switching from Eukaneba to Nutro. Is that ok?

I love Innova :) My dogs do too!

You cannot buy them at PetCo or Petsmart

I feed Innova EVO as well and my dogs are doing GREAT!

I know nothing about the geography of NY, so try this:

I pulled up NY and there are several listed. PSP carries lots of good choices, including Canidae.

The Nutro product that is on the Whole Dog Journal's list (www.whole-dog-journal.com) is the Nutro Natural Choice Ultra. I do think you can get that at Petsmart.

You should be able to find Canidae somewhere in Queens. I live in upstate NY and several places carry it. You may need to look at a natural food store. You probably won't find it at the regular pet food stores. If you go to their website, they will send you a free sample. They sent me some coupons too. Same with Innova!
