Items in Canidae cans

[yesenia83]

I wanted to know if anyone else has come across this...
My babies are on Canidae can food and I have found a whole corn kernel in 1 can and in 4 cans I found a mass chunk of that looks like either an organ or ball of fat. I just wrote to Canidae to find out whats going on. We've just started Canidae and it has help everyone here with allergies especially Snuggles.( She no longer breaks out in sores ). I mix their food with my fingers to check for things, i just never thought id actually find something. And dumb me for listening to my husband who said to throw out the stuff i found.

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?

[Ellie May]

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

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!!!!

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 . 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 . 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.

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!
