Items in Canidae cans
 

:idontknow I mix Phoebe Canidae with real food like ck breast, lean meat, rice, veggies etc.. maybe you can call them and find out directly from them.

How strange.. especially the corn kernel. I didn't think Canidae had corn in it?

That is strange and gross. I didn't think they used corn. I would call and talk to them directly.

If you find out.... please post and let us know what they say.

I just received my free sample of Canidae dried chicken and rice recipe.

It came with a book, but nowhere in the book does it list corn. But this book also may be for the "dry" food. I don't know.

I know my sample does list all the ingredients on the back of it.

Check the back of your can for ingredients. And I'd sure call them about this, as I thought their food had no corn in it either.

Keep checking the food too, and if they require you to send the corn in, by all means do so.

All their food is guaranteed.

And keep us posted on what all you find out.

I feed the canidae dry food and my dog loves it. I was really disappointed when I found a big hunk of plastic in one of the canidae snap buscuits. When I contacted them they gave no explainations and just sent me coupons for 2 free bags :rolleyes:

Are you serious, man I can't believe that, it makes me worry:eek:

How did you get your free sample? I sent them an email a while back and never heard back from them. I asked them for free sample.....:confused:

[QUOTE=mminichan;1246481]hmm. i got my free sample a week ago from them after i emailed 3 weeks ago. they sent me an email two days after i sent asking them, saying they would gladly send me a sample. i had said that i was switching form puppy food to adult food (mocha turns 1 in a couple of weeks) and that i heard their food was great. they sent me two samples, one for canidae als and the other canidae lamb and rice formula.

There was a thread a while back with email addresses and websites. I just went to the Canidae site and asked for samples. They sent me several sample size bags of dry. Both of mine love it. As soon as they finish their other dry food, that is what I am going to buy them!

Oh goodness! How terrible! We feed dry food only and never had any problems! (((eeek))) I hope you don't!!!!

Update:
 

i called canidae today because my email didnt get a reply. They said that a different person handles the emails and that person was on vacation:confused: . anyway . i went on explaining what i found. the lady i spoke with said she doesnt know how corn got into the food but it "might " have gotten in because thats what some canneries use to clean the machines and she apologized. then with the sticky stuff. she said she is pretty sure its guar gum. the guar gum is supposed to travel to the edged on the can to create a jelly like barrier between the food and can but maybe its solidified before it reached the edge:confused: . She offered no other explanation and said would send me vouchers to replace the cans. I dont know how i feel about this. its pretty scary opening cans and never knowing what im going to find next. The babies like it and it has helped Snuggles with her allergies so i dont want to change it but this has turned me off a bit.

Yes, it wasn't that long ago either. Very disappointed.

I remember having to feed our German Shepard canned food for awhile (not Canidea, but Nutro) and it had the gel like stuff on it. I had never fed canned food to any dog before, so I didn't know either. I asked the vet and they said it was safe to eat and in fact, that was the stuff that our German Shepard ate first! I don't know if it was better tasting or what? I remember that the few weeks she was on canned food, each can looked different on the inside, some of the gel was thicker than others, some was in the food, some wasn't, etc. I guess it just depends on the gel? I don't know...but I do know that the vet said it was safe to eat...of course it would be or else they wouldn't put it in the food....but I didn't know that at the time.:cool:

I switched Mojo from Nutro Natural Choice after all the recalls and Lily Grace was on a different food Eukanuba Yorkshire Formula when we got her. We gradually switched both over to Canidea after much research. Everything on Mojo has improved....he will eat this food on his own, his caot is looking better, etc. I think when any food (even human food), there will always be that one mishap of something getting in the food. It is worrisome, but if your babies are doing good on this food, I don't know if I would let one mishap cause you to go on that long hard search of finding another good quality food that your babies will be able to eat. (I have been there too!) Course, this makes us all look at what we give to our pets and what we eat ourselves a lot closer!

once I looked up guar gum myself , I felt better. Im keeping them on canidae because they look so healthy and happy on it. They eat it alone too. Which Snitch wouldnt do , even on Merricks. I would like them on dry but they refuse to eat it as a meal, they however are ok with nibbleing here and there between meals. My husbands thinks im paranoid:rolleyes:. Maybe i am but as long as they are healthy thats what matters to me. thanks for the support.

I use Canidae Lamb & Rice Dry on all of my Yorkies
But
For my 4 mth old puppy I add Innova Puppy Can Food to her Canidae Kibble in the morning & evenings.
I have not tried Canidae canned yet. Its not available here yet.

I would be disappointed too if I were everyone that had had a bad experience. Unfortunately I fear that, every dog food company, and even Canidae (which I love) will always have mistakes like this. When it comes down to it each company has 1 priority and that's money! Sad, but true. We have seen problems with human food time and time again, so unfortunately I think even homecookers could experience problems from time to time. We shouldn't have to be afraid to feed our dogs and even ourselves for that matter. I hope Canidae works to resolve this problem and can provide a better answer.

The same thing happened to me, I snapped a biscuit in half to give to my baby and saw a piece of plastic sticking out of the middle of it, I was so mad!:mad:

Thank you all for posting. We were going to switch to Canidae dry food for supplemental food, but after reading this, I think we're going completely homemade. I feel like we can't trust any brand anymore. Between the recalls, and other stories I've heard like these, I feel like there's so much room for improvement from the pet food companies. I realize there's lots of hype surrounding this right now, and that many things have been exposed that no one ever used to think about, so the small things end up being made into a big deal-but it IS a big deal! And it shouldn't happen in human food OR in pet food-these things could make our pets seriously sick!

True, every company and even every homecooker might have a problem with something getting into the food at one time, but at least I know there won't be plastic or lumps of organ/guar gum in mine! EW! Maybe a yorkie hair or two :p but they've eaten those before I'm sure!

Wow did u contact them?? They sent me 2 coupons for free bags:rolleyes: Didn't even try and come up with a reason....
