It's a pleasure serving Dusty every bowl!
1/31/12 - CANIDAE has been the only food that my service dog, Dusty, has eaten his entire life. Your customer service has been top-notch over the past 4 years that we've been communicating. It's a pleasure serving Dusty every bowl of CANIDAE. Thank you all so much.

His skin is completely clear of itchy lesions.
1/23/12 - After only giving Indy the CANIDAE All Life Stages for many months now, his skin is completely clear of itchy lesions, and he only gets dandruff when he needs a bath. That is very little, too. So I am a firm believer in your CANIDAE dog food, and I have recommended it to many other friends.

His coat looks amazing!
1/19/12 - I got my pup at 8 weeks and from the beginning the vet had me put him on adult dog food so he wouldn’t grow too fast. I chose CANIDAE All Life Stages. He has done amazingly well and is now just a little over 90 lbs. Everyone comments on how good he looks and what an amazing coat he has. I notice that he doesn’t hardly shed, he is soft & shiny, has almost no odor, his breath is not stinky, and his eyes are clear.
I credit the CANIDAE ALS for his great health and lack of “doggy” smell. He absolutely loves the food and licks his bowl clean. Red Dobermans are notorious for having skin and coat problems and I’m so thankful to have a happy healthy two year old doberman with such a beautiful coat and no skin problems. Thank you CANIDAE for a great product!

Great product!
12/19/11 - I have to tell you that I use your food for three dogs, Ashby (little terrier type), Waffles (pit and golden lab mix) and Kubana (chocolate lab mix). Now three of my friends also use it and they all thank me a lot. Kubana is a good eater, but the other two were a problem. When we discovered CANIDAE, they ALL became good eaters. We all use the All Life Stages formula and are very happy. My dogs all eat it, easily with no additives or anything. Great product! Thank you so much!

They would do anything for these treats!
12/16/11 - Hi. My dogs tried the TidNips treats today and they LOVE them!! One of them even spun around in circles and they would do anything for these treats. They are very soft and just wonderful for one of my senior dogs. Eeyore is the Yorkshire Terrier and Roxy is the one holding the treats. These are their new favorite treats.

His feet started to heal and he is just fine now!
12/15/11 - I am an employee at the Belle Plaine Country store in Belle Plaine, MN. One of our customers had a dog that was chewing his feet so bad they were bleeding. It wasn't only his paws; he also lost hair all over his body. She spent a lot of money on dog food to no avail. The vet couldn't even figure it out. Then she came to our store. We carry three varieties of CANIDAE and I suggested she try CANIDAE grain-free. She said if it didn't work, they were going to have their Lab put down. It worked! His feet started to heal and he is just fine now. They are enjoying their dog and the dog is enjoying life without chewed bloody paws. She said it was a blessing. Her dog will be on CANIDAE for the rest of his life.
All of my dogs are on CANIDAE, too. I have three small house dogs and a farm dog that is Golden and Newfie mix. They all eat the same food, CANIDAE! My Newfie puppy is 10 months old now and her coat is beautiful, soft and shiny. We sell a lot of different dog foods at the store, but my personal favorite is CANIDAE PAWS. Thanks for a great dog food.

CANIDAE has made a difference in their health
12/14/11 - I have a 1 1/2 year old male golden retriever that we got at 8 weeks old. He was being fed CANIDAE originally from the breeder and I changed it when I brought him home to another brand, a large breed puppy formula. He was such a beautiful healthy dog and I wanted to give him the best food, so I switched him back to CANIDAE. He seems to really love it. He's very healthy with a beautiful coat. My son brought home a rescue dog from Colorado; he is a mix, border collie and pit. He was so bony and his fur was dull. I switched him over to CANIDAE and now he has meat on his bones and his coat is full and very shiny. He is a picky eater and has a sensitive stomach. We don’t feed them people food because he gets diarrhea. I add about a tablespoon of the All Life Stages canned food to the dry formula. They are both very healthy and happy dogs. I think CANIDAE has made a difference in their health and appearance.

My lab mix, Roscoe, loves your food!
12/12/11 - I have been buying your product for almost a year now and my lab mix, Roscoe, loves your food. We get compliments all the time on how attractive he is. I believe it has something to do with your product. Roscoe will be 2 years old on Jan 19th. I got him from the local humane society and he is a lab/shepherd mix. Thank you!

They LOVED IT!
12/11/11 - I recently found your food and as a breeder I'm always looking for a way to make my pups and moms healthy. As on previous litters, my mama was looking pretty thin and exhausted. Within 2 weeks of starting CANIDAE she was her old self, milk production was up and I was relieved. I have just given my pups their first puppy "soup" with the CANIDAE All Life Stages, some canned CANIDAE with milk replacer and water. They LOVED IT!! I can't wait to see how they develop with this food change. My dogs are European Golden Retrievers.
Thanks CANIDAE!

They simply looked healthier top to bottom.
12/09/11 - I have tried EVERYTHING with my dogs, but was never quite satisfied until I found CANIDAE. I couldn't believe the results I saw after just the first bag! And I have quite a variety: Levi the Great Dane mix, Roxie the Weimaraner and Rhudy a beagle mix.
Their eyes looked clearer (no drainage) their coats were shinier, their stools where better. They simply looked healthier top to bottom.
Thank you CANIDAE for giving me happy, healthy pets!

CANIDAE is the only food my dogs will eat!
12/07/11 - Just a note of thanks for a wonderful product! CANIDAE All Life Stages is the only food my dogs will eat! Recently my hours were reduced at work resulting in a 25% pay cut. Consequently this has really impacted the way I shop for myself and my 4 dogs (all rescues). I had to purchase a less expensive Brand X dog food, but not one of them would even touch it! One sniff and it was all over! I ended up donating it to the rescue that I got 2 of the 4 from...then it was back to Pet Club for a bag of CANIDAE.
Thanks again for a great product... I tell everyone I know with dogs about CANIDAE!

Thank you CANIDAE for helping with my dogs’ health.
11/14/11 - Here is a picture of my 3 golden's, Baylee 2, Callie 5 and Chloe 6. When Callie was very young we found out that she had allergies to many foods, which caused her hair to fall out. I was told by a friend to try CANIDAE. Of course we did and within 6 weeks you could hardly see where the hair had fallen out. Not only did the food make a huge difference, I have dogs all different ages, and CANIDAE has a food for all stages. It was much cheaper feeding the "girls" all the same food. It also helped Chloe drop the added weight that she needed to lose, and she didn't seem hungry all the time.
Thank you CANIDAE for helping with my dogs’ health and making my life easier for feeding.

Wholesome, nutritious, and palatable pet food that our dogs truly enjoy!
11/11/11 - My local feed and seed (Carolina Country Store) carries your CANIDAE products, but until recently, I hadn't really thought about purchasing them before.
Then one evening, being very short on time and completely out of dog food at home, I decided to swing through and purchase a few cans to tide my Maltese mix and Border Terrier mix over until I could make it to [a local chain store] the next day. These two are normally VERY picky eaters and it's been difficult finding that "one" brand of food they'll consistently eat. So, suffice it to say I was apprehensive about whether they'd give this new food a chance.
To my surprise and delight, they dove hungrily into their bowls and licked the dishes clean in a matter of seconds! (Seriously, these two normally sniff their food, look up at me as if to say "You've got to be kidding" and take reluctant bites, usually leaving half the food untouched.)
Since that time, my husband and I have been purchasing CANIDAE on a routine basis and each time we feed it, our dogs leave their bowls sparkling clean. We like to mix it with brown rice and sweet potato chunks for extra texture, and to make the canned food last longer. They can't get enough of it! Our next step is to transition their dry kibble over to your brand, since the moist food has been such a hit.
I just wanted to thank you for producing wholesome, nutritious, and palatable pet food that our dogs truly enjoy! Keep up the good work!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
11/08/11 - I could just HUG HUG you all. Thank you for the most fabulous dog food ever made!!! My beloved 10 year old yorkiepoo was limping and in so much pain. I bought vitamins, but could not get her to take them. In desperation, I bought your CANIDAE PLATINUM senior food at Healthfoods Unlimited.
It is a MIRACLE!!!! She is full of energy and begging me to play fetch with her. Her walks last forever. No trace of a limp, and no pain. It's like the clock was rolled back and my sweet girl is 5 again!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your excellent product. I am your lifetime client.

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your All Life Stages dry food
10/17/11 - I have 2 dogs, a Great Pyrenees named Dakota (who is 2 1/2 years old and is a registered therapy dog who visits kids at Children's Hospital Orange County (CHOC) every Saturday) and a Husky/German Shepherd mix named Bimmer (who is 6 months old and will be registered as a therapy dog when he reaches his first birthday).
I've been using CANIDAE All Life Stages dry dog food for a short time and have been very happy with the results! I originally switched because I have a puppy and an adult dog and was having a hard time getting them to not eat the other dog's food. I asked our local pet store for a solution and CANIDAE was their recommendation. My dogs are like family to me, and I only feed them quality foods so I was a bit concerned about changing their diet. But after reviewing the ingredients, I figured I would give it a try. Both dogs love it! And I no longer have to worry about either getting the wrong nutrition from eating the wrong food. To be Therapy Dogs, they both have to be in excellent health which is part of the reason I only feed them excellent food. CANIDAE ALS has been a big part of their overall well-being!
Again, thank you and please keep up the good work!

I attribute her fantastic immune system, coat, and bright eyes to CANIDAE
10/16/11 - Thank you so much for making such an amazing food. I am the proud owner of North America's first Hamiltonstovare shown and first ever UKC Champion. She has been on CANIDAE pureSEA almost since she got off the plane from the UK. Before she arrived, her breeder was concerned about the quality of food and I knew right from the start that I would go with CANIDAE, as I had used it in the past with Clumber Spaniels. My Hamiltonstovare, Alice, has been on a grain free diet since she was a puppy, and I attribute her fantastic immune system, coat, and bright eyes to CANIDAE and how it made her transition from life in the UK to life in the US less stressful. Thank you again, and I proudly recommend CANIDAE products to anybody who asks what Alice is fed.

We always receive compliments about how beautiful they look!
10/15/11 - We were looking for a new dog food to put our 2 year old Bullmastiff Rudy and 2 year old Pit bull Shoopie on. We were using a good quality food but the dogs did not like the taste of it, and we found ourselves adding chicken broth or cheese to get them to eat it. Shoopie is a rescue dog and she loves to eat. We found she was gaining too much weight due to the "toppings" we were adding. We found your food at a small independent pet shop. They were so great and gave us samples of each of the CANIDAE types to try. The dogs loved it! We don't have to add anything to their food now! We always receive compliments about how beautiful they look!

Ziva is more energetic and... and hardly scratches at ALL anymore
10/5/11 - I rescued my pug Ziva 6 months ago. She was starved, flea-bitten, sad and (worst of all) had a non-curly tail. I've tried various foods (Whole Dog Journal approved) and CANIDAE PLATINUM® has ended my quest. Ziva is more energetic, smells like a rainbow, hardly scratches at ALL anymore, and even her badly damaged eyes look clearer. You should see her tail now- curled and wagging!! Thanks to a great dog food and lots of love!

Murphy, a 108 pound senior boxer, needed to lose almost 35 pounds!
9/21/11 (updated) - In June, my husband and I adopted Murphy, an 8 year old senior boxer who had just been turned in to Boxer Rescue Los Angeles (BRLA) where we volunteer. He was terribly overweight at 108 pounds, could barely walk, slept most of the time, and was continually out of breath. We had fed our previous boxer CANIDAE Platinum dry and canned for the last 5 years of his life and it helped him stay healthy until the age of 13.5 years old. Murphy was a perfect candidate for the same diet being a senior and overweight. We wrote to CANIDAE's customer service team to discuss the amount of CANIDAE Platinum dry and canned to feed him so he could lose weight quickly but safely and verified with our Veterinarian that he would be able to start an exercise program.
M urphy integrated himself into our household of 3 cats and 2 dogs faster than any animal we've ever rescued. He immediately showed respectful and submissive behavior to the cats by turning his back to them and promptly lying down. Within a few hours the cats felt perfectly safe around him and accepted him into the family. He is always tolerant of our 15-month-old female rescue boxer, Penny, who wants to help his training by grabbing his leash in her mouth and galloping full speed down the trail, and he always lets her win tug-of war games. He is sweet with BD and is careful of her small stature (10.5 pound rescue chihuahua) and she rewards him with love and devotion. As to humans, he has won the heart of everyone he meets. He has the most amazing spirit, determination, and zest for life and is one of the most loving and gentle dogs we've ever had.
Mornings are Murphy's favorite time of day! Once the sun rises a little, we open the driveway gate, walk across the street and there we are with miles of trails to choose from. During the past 10 weeks of daily walks, he has quickly regained muscle tone and endurance and can hike for over an hour without needing to rest. He is now active, alert, and playful, and enjoys chasing after Penny, BD, lizards and jackrabbits and loves to lead the walk when it is his turn.
Murphy has exceeded everyone's expectations and has lost 18.5 pounds in 10 weeks! This averages to more than 1.5 pounds a week. At his 10 week check, he weighed 89.5 pounds and every week brings him closer to his goal weight of 75 pounds. He has also lost 7" from his waistline and 3" from his neck. Murphy is an inspiration to everyone he meets and living proof that senior dogs can lose weight.
Murphy's tips to humans are to measure morning and night meals (no guessing), give affection not treats between meals, weigh and/or measure your dog every 2 weeks or so for encouragement, and take your dog for daily walks steadily increasing the distance as fitness permits.
9/13/2010 UPDATE - Murphy just hit his 12 week mark with us and has lost 22.3 pounds!!!! He only has 10 pounds to go for his goal weight of 75 pounds as he weighed in at 85.5 pounds on Friday, September 10. He has tons of energy and runs around the yard with his girls, chases lizards and jackrabbits and as soon as there is a sign we might be waking up in the morning, starts crying for his walk even when it is "o'dark thirty" as Steve puts it. Such a healthy boxer now, can clean himself (which he does all the time of course), breathes very quietly, regains his breath fast after running around, would rather trot than walk (with his fat tail working like a metronome back and forth with each step) and insists on sleeping in the middle of our bed! As far as inches go, he has lost 2 1/2" from his neck, 7 1/4" from his waist and 5" from his trunk circumference just behind his front legs and 6" from his trunk circumference just in front of his back legs! He continues to be our gentle Murphy but is no longer a giant! So rewarding watching him regain his health and his boxer physique.
10/11/2010 UPDATE - Murphy now weighs only 81.5 pounds, having lost 26.3 pounds total in just 4 months! That calculates out to be a loss of 24.4% of his body weight since switching to natural and holistic CANIDAE PLATINUM. He has lost a total of 3.5 inches from his neck and 9 inches from his waist! Murphy (with a little help from Barbara) writes in, "I'm light on my feet and prefer to trot everywhere. My tail keeps time like a metronome, side to side with each step. I'm getting closer to catching Penny [pictured with Murphy, right] at a full gallop and I can do proper boxer curls, pops, jumps and am pleased to report that I can climb up on the bed whenever I want and no longer have to wait for a boost up. Life is good!
1/4/2011 UPDATE - Penny and Murphy have decided that snow is just too cold for their short-haired bodies! Murphy, always the gentleman, lets Penny win after a gentle tussle. Second one is of the door rush when the 3 canines discovered how cold it was outside! Isn't the day after Christmas supposed to be BOXER DAY, not BOXING DAY?
9/21/2011 UPDATE - Murphy is doing very well. He is: slim, fit, likes to jog a little, sometimes plays with Penny our young female boxer, jumps around, wags his tail all the time, and trots or runs with his tail keeping rhythm with his steps like a metronome, slow, medium or fast! We love him to bits! So pleased he is back to being an active boxer, albeit a senior one!

CANIDAE customer service is the greatest!
9/16/2011 - A while ago, Diane in your customer service department spent some time with me on the phone talking about our young Yellow Lab Magic who is in gun dog training. Diane sent me a coupon for a free bag of CANIDAE Single Grain Protein Plus. Magic is now holding her weight well on 3 cups twice a day (was on 4 cups x 2 of ALS). We had thought she might be having an absorption problem since her stools are so large, but extensive lab tests show she is fine. Her high energy level requires a lot of food. Her training is coming along great -- she is a natural retriever and LOVES her daily training. My husband goes out a couple of times a week to train with her. We brought her home over the long weekend to let her catch up on her sleep! I talked to our vet after talking to Diane and the vet believes the weight and stool problems are just a natural thing for a very high strung pup in a kennel situation -- it isn't clinical. She will be back home with us by mid-October, ready to hunt ducks this season. Thanks for all the advice and the coupon. I was expecting a coupon for a small bag and was pleasantly surprised! Thanks so much. CANIDAE customer service is the greatest!

We are so excited about your Grain free formulas
8/31/2011 - I just wanted to let you know that we are so excited about your Grain free formulas. We have a lab/golden/shar pei mix who is almost 2 years old and very allergic to anything with grain in it. We had to put him on a very expensive pet Rx formula for over a year. We were so very excited when we discovered that CANIDAE made a grain free formula. Not only is Oakley getting the nutrition he needs and enjoys his food but we are saving a ton on his dog food. Thanks again for thinking of our pets -- and more than just pets but as family.

8/30/2011 - My Rottie has a very sensitive stomach and it took over a year till I found CANIDAE. Now he is just great and has been for a few years now. He and my other dog, Ms. Tilly both eat CANIDAE All Life Stages. I love this dog food!

I have decided to switch to CANIDAE for my working dogs
8/12/2011 - I'm an executive board member with the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA), Region 19 and a professional police dog trainer, working in Birmingham, Michigan, USA. I train police dogs and I also train the general public with private dog training obedience lessons. I have two narcotic detection trained dogs.
After seeing a CANIDAE presentation in Canada at one of our USPCA police K9 events I have decided to switch to CANIDAE for my working dogs.
The dogs have enjoyed the change as their coats look nicer and they digest the food without any problems. They also seem to have more energy between feedings.
My German Shepherd was having allergies/irritation on the tips of her ears and that has now gone away too. I'm not sure if it was the change to CANIDAE that helped her ears or not but I strongly believe it did.

She has such a shiny and soft coat
8/10/2011 - I am SO IMPRESSED with the CANIDAE dog food that I talk almost every day to someone about it. I have a Boxer that I have fed this since 9 weeks old. She is 11 months now and has such a shiny & soft coat, her eyes are bright and she’s super happy all of the time. You can tell that she is getting more than the right vitamins and minerals from CANIDAE!!
She's 52 pounds and I feed her 3 cups of All Life Stages. 1 cup in morning, 1 cup at noon and 1 cup with a tablespoon of CANIDAE can at night. Great Food!!!

Within days, the itching stopped
8/9/2011 - My dog was suffering from severe itching. It finally dawned on me that he was allergic to his food, mainly because it contained grains. I switched to CANIDAE because it contains so much meat protein.
In the past, I had to add stuff to the dog food to get him to eat it. As soon as I put the CANIDAE down, he began to eat. Within days, the itching stopped. I've tried the bison and the chicken.
I think he prefers the one with chicken in it. Thanks for producing a dog food that is actually good for him and is not full of fillers, corn, wheat and other ingredients that he doesn't need.
Sally M.
Very impressed with the ingredients
8/8/2011 - I feed my 2-year-old male German Shepherd CANIDAE dog food (All Life Stages). I love it, and he loves it. I have been very impressed with the ingredients in the dog food, and I did my research in deciding what to feed my dog. We get lots of comments about his coat, in particular, and I think his coat looks great in part because of the CANIDAE food that we feed him. I want to thank you for producing a great quality dog food at a reasonable price.

You have a satisfied customer for life
8/2/2011 - Thank you so much for producing such a great product for our beloved four-legged family members. My husband and I have four babies... actually quite the crowd. We own two Great Danes (Athena and Zeus) who are one year old and eight months old. As you can imagine, they can be quite entertaining. I want to tell you about our struggles with our female Great Dane. Athena can be considered the definition of a “finicky eater.” When she was a puppy, we tried at least 10 different brands of food, and could not find anything she would eat. She was underweight and had dry flaking skin due to poor nutrition.
My husband and I found CANIDAE All Life Stages Four Meat dog food at a local pet store, and tried it. We had tried everything else at this point; we were willing to do anything. Surprisingly enough, as soon as we poured the food in her bowl, she started eating and ate her ENTIRE bowl! This was a first for her! Not only do our dogs love this food, it is affordable and has great quality ingredients. You can only expect the best from CANIDAE. Our dogs love the taste of chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish; but they get the benefit of vitamins and minerals for superior health and coats. And better yet... NO FILLERS! It is hard to find an affordable dog food without corn being in the top ingredients!
Recently we found out that the pet store we purchase CANIDAE from is going to quit carrying your product because they are switching store names. All of their CANIDAE customers have already informed them they will be losing a lot of business. I know they will be losing my business, because I will do whatever it takes to make sure my babies only get the best! It may mean we will have to drive a little further, but that is okay by me. With two growing Great Danes, we go through 140 pounds of dog food in a month, so it is best we buy in bulk anyway!!
Again, thank you for such a great quality dog food! You have a satisfied customer for life. Our dogs are not just pets to us; they are loved members of our family. And for that reason, I am thankful to have found CANIDAE dog food!

We get a lot of compliments on their shiny fur
7/27/2011 - My two boys (Raven- 3 year old Lab, and Shadow- 1 year old rescue Lab mix) love your food. Raven is highly allergic to grains and poultry but does really well on your CANIDAE Grain Free pureSEA.
I’m attaching a picture of my two boys to say thank you for caring about the well being of our family members. We do get a lot of compliments on their shiny fur. People always ask me what I use to make their fur so shiny and I don't use anything, just watch what they eat. Raven had a terrible time with his dog food at first until we figured out that chicken and grains triggered his allergies (ear infections, dandruff, itchy skin, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.).
I had him on several other holistic and grain free foods, but they also caused problems. Then I tried the CANIDAE and he has been doing wonderfully on that. When I took Shadow in last year, I started him on CANIDAE too. They are both very happy pups. Thank you for making a food that can be trusted.

They love the food and scarf every last bite!
7/5/2011 - We have 3 Yellow Labrador Retrievers: Rusty 9, Lola 7 and Casey 5. Although everyone mistakes them for triplets, they've all been adopted from different local shelters. We are celebrities in our neighborhood because of their looks, and we simply cannot go anywhere in public without getting attention (which they love!!).
We switched to CANIDAE All Life Stages a couple of years ago from another dog food and loved the change. We've done a ton of research on dog food and we love the healthy ingredients your food provides our dogs (without breaking the bank!). Our older lab Rusty gained a bit of weight over the last couple of years, so about 8 months ago we switched all 3 of our dogs over to the CANIDAE PLATINUM. Over the course of a few months he lost 15 pounds and has been maintaining a healthy weight ever since. They love the food and scarf every last bite!
Thanks for making such a healthy product that we feel good about feeding!

CANIDAE saved my dog’s life
6/20/2011 - I have a maltipoo named Princess. She is still new to the family (2 months since she was rescued from a kill shelter). I tried all different kinds of food and she would not eat anything, and got very sick.
Ever since I tried CANIDAE All Life Stages, she devours her food and is a healthy 12 lb dog. I feel that CANIDAE saved my dog’s life.
She gets along great with the family and loves to cuddle with her mommy (me). She also loves to watch other dogs on TV.

Thank you for your wonderful product
5/31/2011 - We have two beautiful Golden Retriever brothers, Chevy and Hemi, that are seven years old. They have been fed CANIDAE All Life Stages since we brought them home at 9 weeks old. They thrive and do not have issues that other owners have had. They love their food and usually try convice us we didn't give them enough. We have a new Australian Shepherd, Cody, that is doing wonderfully on CANIDAE also. His coat just shines. He loves his CANIDAE food. Thank you for your wonderful product.

He loves it and we love CANIDAE
5/30/2011 - I have a 5 year old Golden Retriever who had chronic ear infections, dry flaky coat, and anal problems. After 6 months of vet visits, my doctor finally said to take him (Cashie) off of the food I was feeding him, all treats, grains, chicken and lamb kibble. So we started him on CANIDAE Grain Free Salmon [now named CANIDAE Grain Free pureSEA], then every other month switched him to another flavor of your grain free formulas. After about another 6 months, I noticed his ears were clearing, his coat was shiny and flake free, and he stopped his "scooting."
No more monthly visits to the vet.
We have had him on your grain free product for over two years now, and he is completely clear of all allergies, ear and anal problems. He is also far more fluent in his running. He was just about immobilized with arthritis in his back knees. He always smells like a fresh clean dog, even between quarterly trips to the groomer. I can't help but feel this is due to the purity of your product. Yes, he gets some treats, but mostly apples and fresh carrots.
I recommend your product to anyone who wants to have a happy, healthy, active, clear eyed dog. And he just inhales the food! He loves it and we love CANIDAE. Thank you to you and your team of animal nutritionists who obviously care about the animals they are feeding across the world.
PS: I have attached my favorite photo of my handsome guy doing what he loves best... tunneling in freshly fallen snow!

Both dogs eat CANIDAE and look fantastic
5/26/2011 - Nacho (German Shepherd mix, about 3 years old) was abandoned and showed up at my husband's business in Southern California. He was skin and bones, and had been on the streets for quite a while. He stayed in Southern California for a couple of months before we got him home to Northern California. He has been with us a year and a half now. I also have Saffy, my beloved 11 year old Lab mix. Both dogs eat CANIDAE and look fantastic.
I like that I can feed both dogs the same food and both are at a healthy weight. They also love the Snap Biscuit treats!
I also have two cats (Abby, older female from animal shelter, and Leroy, younger male that someone dumped off in the field near our home). They both eat FELIDAE.
In addition, I raise pure bred chickens and I supplement their feed with FELIDAE. Many people ask me what I feed my birds because they look so good. They are large breeds of chicken and benefit from the animal protein in FELIDAE.
Here are some of the chickens that get FELIDAE treats. These are called Buff Orpingtons.

It is so nice to have found a dog food I can trust
5/19/2011 - I just wanted to thank you for making such a great product! I have my Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix puppy, Alexi, on your Lamb and Rice formula (I want to keep her away from wheat, soy, and corn), and I couldn't be happier. She seemed to get ill frequently on [another brand of] puppy formula her breeder started her on, and now that she is completely transitioned, she couldn't be happier! I even tried a 1 pound sample bag of [another brand of] Lamb and Rice formula, and Alexi threw it up.
It is so nice to have found a dog food I can trust. I buy both the dry and the wet Lamb and Rice formulas, and I'm encouraging other dog owners to switch their foods. Even other holistic brands don't necessarily keep their formulas free of wheat, and I so appreciate finding a great premium food that is within my budget.
My parent's dogs are on a prescription formula, and I keep trying to get my Mom to switch her babies off of that expensive junk food and onto your senior brand. I guess you can't convert everyone.... On the other hand, I recently got a friend with a cat to switch to FELIDAE, as her cat is on chemotherapy and needed a premium food, and they said they saw their cat perk up a bit after starting the food.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a great product that isn't making my baby sick!

They love your product
5/18/2011 - Just a quick "atta-boy" for you! I have two little dogs, a Chihuahua and a Pug/Dachshund mix, and they love your product. I will go out of my way to go to the nearest store to purchase it for them. We've got the Chihuahua's peritonitis in control, and the Pug/Doxie is full of energy. The Chihuahua is Jordan, and the Pug/Doxie is Charlie.

I only wish we had known about CANIDAE sooner
5/3/2011 - I have attached some pictures of our Great Dane, Dez, for you to use along with our testimonial. I truly cannot praise our experience with your products enough! We were so happy with how well she does on the food, we even switched our treats to CANIDAE as well. The small Snap-Bits treats have been perfect for training, and she loves them! The large Snap-Biscuit treats fit perfectly in her toy to keep her occupied. We would spend any amount necessary to ensure she is well. Having adopted her from poor living conditions, her well being means the world to us, she is just a sweetheart, and deserves it. Finding this food has made such a huge difference, I really wanted others to know, and maybe help someone else. I only wish we had known about CANIDAE sooner.
Thank you again.

Our dogs are very healthy
4/11/2011 - We run a small but very active dachshund rescue and we feed only this dog food. We have really soft coats on our rescue dogs. Our dogs are very healthy, even the strays. Best of all, less poop to pick up! We go thru 2 of the 44lb bags a month... now have 14 dachshunds in rescue. Thanks again.

Our dogs had significant improvement in just a few days
3/22/2011 - My 6 year old golden who had such bad allergies is so good, our Vet was amazed how fast she responded. I took her in for a yearly check up and she said she had several patients who have recently switched to CANIDAE. I had printed out the ingredients for her and she said it looked like an excellent food. She said it can take 3 months to see a real difference, however our dogs had significant improvement in just a few days. The dogs are just so much happier, more energy, it’s nice to see. They are loving their new dry & canned food.
We also switched the four cats to FELIDAE and they love it. I give a little canned for morning & evening treats, and leave the dry out. No one is overweight but they love it and it seems to be going pretty fast. My kitten had some minor allergies and they are all gone. I also got the dogs the Snap Biscuits and the calm one who always waits for me to put it in her mouth jumped up & grabbed it from me. She could not wait! She just keeps looking at me and then the box every time I go in the kitchen. Her allergy problems are completely gone.
Thanks very much!

She has done GREAT on CANIDAE... what a lifesaver!
3/16/2011 - I just wanted to say how thankful I am that I tried CANIDAE for my boxer Roxie. We got her from a boxer rescue and she had been having stomach problems the whole time she was with her foster (over a year) and for quite a while after we got her. We tried all different foods but usually had to resort to cooking plain chicken and rice to get her stomach settled. She would vomit sometimes three times even during the night. It was exhausting for all of us, especially Roxie!!! We looked at all ingredients and took forever at the store to try and find something else to try for her. We finally heard about CANIDAE and decided why not give it a try.... we did and what a change. She has done GREAT on CANIDAE... what a lifesaver!!! Thanks again!

I won’t feed my dogs anything else
3/9/2011 - CANIDAE has truly improved the appearance and the health of my service dog Trevor. He has been on the CANIDAE ALS formula for over 2 years now. When I received him from the trainer they were feeding him [another brand]. Trevor was kind of sluggish and his coat just was dull. My friend who has a field dog suggested that I try CANIDAE ALS and he brought me a sample for Trevor to try. After being on CANIDAE a short time Trevor’s coat was shiny, he had more energy and had gotten back to a workable weight. I am so happy we made the switch, and now I won’t feed my dogs anything else.

It has made him feel like a puppy again
3/8/2011 - This food is amazing. I have a thirteen year young yorkie named Hap who was eating another premium brand. Hap was having good days and bad days. His bad days seemed to be mostly due to upset stomach and poor digestion. A good friend told me about CANIDAE, so I picked up a bag of the senior formula.
I mixed it in with his old food to avoid a shock to his system. Then I watched as he proceeded to remove all the old food from the bowl, place it on the kitchen floor piece by piece and devour the CANIDAE. He LOVES this food, and it has made him feel like a puppy again. He is up to his old antics on a regular basis. Thank you CANIDAE!!

Her fur started growing back
3/7/2011 - I adopted my dog Ginger from the Delaware County SPCA. She came home emaciated with fur missing on her back. About 2 to 3 weeks of eating CANIDAE Lamb and Rice formula, she put on weight and her fur started growing back. 3 years later, she is still eating the same food and is in AMAZING shape!! Thanks CANIDAE!

Maddie is incredibly healthy, full of energy
3/3/2011 - Maddie has been on CANIDAE for almost 5 years now. I tried other brands but quickly discovered CANIDAE was THE best choice for her. She loves the taste.... Maddie is incredibly healthy, full of energy and her coat is always shining. Thank you for making such a fantastic product that my girl enjoys, and that I feel good giving her!

I am so thankful your high quality food is available for my babies
3/1/2011 - We are very happy to feed our four dogs CANIDAE. A friend recommended CANIDAE and I am so thankful your high quality food is available for my babies. Our eclectic group love to nap after a great morning run and breakfast of CANIDAE Chicken meal and Rice for the big dogs, and Senior CANIDAE for the little dogs. Piggie (foxhound), Muffin (pitbull), Rico Suave (chi/pug) and Sophia Loren (Brindle Chi/Italian Greyhound) all get along fantastically. Our cat Linux has lost weight and loves the Salmon FELIDAE. Sorry to report that Linux was in no mood to have his picture taken, though.
Thank you for making such a quality product to feed our babies.

It’s the best dog food on the market
2/25/2011 - Just wanted to personally inform you of how much I, well my dogs really, love your products! I was unable to find them for a little while but where I live now, the Ace Hardware store across the street sells your wonderful dog food. My dogs are Nala, a 20 year old Egyptian Pharaoh Hound mix, and Isabelle, a 2 year old Bull Terrier mix. Both were rescued from shelters as puppies. Nala is very picky but she goes crazy for your All Life Stages formula, which I am able to purchase in 35 lb bags thankfully, because Izzi just inhales food! I go through 35 lbs almost instantly because of her appetite.
People still think Nala is about 5 or 6 and she's constantly being called either a fox or a coyote. When I take her for hikes and run into coyotes, they take her in as one of their own and she gets to play with the smaller ones, thanks to her irresistible personality as well as her physical features.
Really love this food and I've even managed to convert some friends after donating some of my food to them. Once they saw how much better their dogs liked CANIDAE and how much shinier their coats were, they were completely convinced. That's how good it is. Hands down, it’s the best dog food on the market. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
John M.
Their dry skin was no more
2/23/2011 - Our dogs’ coats were dull and they scratched all the time. Our neighbor, who raises Golden Retrievers, suggested using CANIDAE All Life Stages Formula. In two weeks, we saw a definite difference and their dry skin was no more. Thanks CANIDAE!

Both are bright eyed and bushy tailed
2/14/2011 - Maggie and Layla have been on CANIDAE for 2-1/2 years. Maggie turned 10 this year and still acts like Layla who is going to be 3 this year.
Both are bright eyed and bushy tailed, when they aren’t couch potatoes.

Noticed a huge improvement in their coat and metabolism
2/13/2011 - We tried CANIDAE All Life Stages from a testimonial of a breeder. We have 10 large breed dogs, 8 are over 100 pounds. Within the first month we noticed a huge improvement in their coat and metabolism. We were so impressed we started selling it at our Dog Daycare. As we have gained ALS users, the positive feedback has been overwhelming. Your product RULES!

Her coat looks amazing
2/11/2011 - My standard Daschund Maya was a rescue, and her foster mother gave me a small bag and some coupons to try the food. Maya was 10 weeks old and now is turning 3 years old in March. Since she was a puppy until now she just loves meal time. Her coat looks amazing, she dark and tan and she just shines. A 5 pound bag lasts me a whole month, it’s important to keep the food fresh... I have a dog walking company and I tell my clients the importance of a perfect balance meal for pets, and by far CANIDAE has proven to be in my personal experience the best choice for my pet. That is what Maya loves and I do too. Thanks for caring CANIDAE!!! Thanks for caring and making great food for my pet.

I am thrilled that Queso has finally found a food she likes
2/9/2011 - After a six month search, I believe that we have a winner! So far Queso has gobbled up every CANIDAE flavor I have tried with her - and she loves the Snap Bits too.
I am thrilled that Queso has finally found a food she likes, is good for her, is made by a responsible company (I read some of the info on how CANIDAE gives back to the community and utilizes wind power as its source of energy) and is reasonable priced.
In the past 6 months that Queso has been part of our family we have tried many other brands - and CANIDAE won Queso's stomach love! Thanks for your help in our quest for the perfect food for Queso!

Our dog loves her CANIDAE
2/8/2011 - Just wanted to let you know how much our dog loves her CANIDAE. We adopted Gracie when she was almost six months old from a local shelter. She had been with a family that while I don't doubt that they loved her, I don't think they put much thought into her nutrition. Her coat was flaky and dry and she seemed constantly itchy. I knew a bath would solve part of that problem but that we needed to start working from the inside out to get her in better shape. Our trainer recommended CANIDAE. Gracie today is eleven months old, weighs a healthy 45 lbs, and we get many compliments on what a pretty girl she is. Her coat is glossy and soft and she barely sheds. She sits politely for her food and waits to be told "okay" to dive in. Thanks for making such a great product.
Michelle & Pete... and Gracie.
We always recommend CANIDAE to everyone we know
2/7/2011 - We've been feeding our Golden Retriever, Libby, CANIDAE for 4 out of the 5 years of her life, and we wouldn't consider feeding her any other food! When she first came home we tried several, what is considered high quality brands. She just picked and never seemed to enjoy her mealtime, and would have loose watery stools and lots of stomach upsets. After a lot of research and many hours on the computer trying to find a good quality food, we decided to try CANIDAE, and the rest is history. Libby has been on CANIDAE ever since. She is a picture of health... soft, shiny coat, bright shiny eyes. She has no health issues anymore with her stools and stomach upsets.
We always recommend CANIDAE to everyone we know that has or is about to buy a new dog. We have even gotten family members to switch brands after seeing how well Libby did on CANIDAE. We are very impressed with how the folks at CANIDAE, especially Beth Morgan, go out of their way to help with any information or help you may need.
We also give her the Snap Bits and Snap Biscuit treats and she loves them as much as her meals of CANIDAE Lamb and Rice Formula for All Life Stages. We can't thank you enough for making such a high quality food that Libby has enjoyed from the first time she tried it. I'm sure if Libby could talk she would thank you also. Thanks again!

He has not had any stomach issues since
2/4/2011 - From the moment we had decided on adopting our puppy Cage, we knew that we wanted the absolute best for our puppy. And that meant feeding him the highest quality of food. We did not start him off with CANIDAE, because I didn't know much about this brand. Cage has a sensitive stomach and had digestive problems as a small puppy. We changed his food a few times and he was also on antibiotics on three different occasions. We decided to do some more research on food and discovered CANIDAE. We found that a local feed store sold CANIDAE (at a decent price as well) and made the transition to the new food. The first day he ate it, he devoured it! Cage used to graze over his meals and it took him at least an hour to finish his serving of food. Well, now that he eats CANIDAE he gobbles it instantly and looks up at us for more. He has a beautiful, soft and shiny coat and is a ball of energy. He has not had any stomach issues since. I would recommend CANIDAE to any of my friends who own pets. We also have a 7 year old cat and we are switching her food to FELIDAE as well. THANK YOU!

Your food helped improve his quality of life
2/3/2011 - We have two dogs and they both eat CANIDAE. The reason I started using your dog food was because my dog Jack suffered from seizures that may have been related to lower quality dog food filled with nasty chemicals and preservatives. Since switching to CANIDAE the seizures went from once or twice monthly to once every 3 or 4 months. I think your food helped improved his quality of life, and I thank you for that!
Jack is a bigger dog weighing in at about 55 pounds, so we have bought a lot of CANIDAE dog food! Ava has also benefited from a change in dog food brands. She used to have dry itchy skin and get ear infections, now she no longer has a problem. Keep up the good work. They are both happy and healthy CANIDAE dogs. Please keep producing high quality food!

Bella made the transition to CANIDAE All Life Stages so easily
2/2/2011 - My fiancé and I adopted Bella, a 5 year old American Bulldog mix, from a local shelter 3 months ago. Bella suffered from skin allergies and was severely underweight when we adopted her. She also had a very sensitive stomach and had experienced some “potty issues” when we first brought her home. We were absolutely amazed that Bella made the transition to CANIDAE All Life Stages so easily. She is slowly and steadily gaining weight, her skin and coat have improved, and her potty issues are a thing of the past. We were so impressed with CANIDAE that we recently switched our 4 year old cat to FELIDAE! We were thrilled to find a high quality, natural food that doesn’t break the bank.

CANIDAE is the best food I’ve ever fed
1/28/2011 - Here is a recent picture of my two Terrier Mix Pups. The black one is "Shasta," I believe a Schnauzer and miscellaneous mix. She is 7 months old. The blond one is "Abby." She is a Wheaten terrier and American Eskimo mix. She is 14 months old. Both have loveable and gentle personalities, but Shasta still gets into everything and likes to chew things up! I adopted both from the Cowlitz County Humane Society in Longview, WA. I buy my 35# CANIDAE All Life Stages food from the Dog Zone in Longview where I also take the dogs for Doggie Daycare usually once a week. I have been feeding Shasta and Abby CANIDAE for about 4 months. They both like the food and their coats are looking great, and their energy levels are excellent. I am an experienced dog owner, and CANIDAE is the best food I’ve ever fed my numerous pets, and the results show it! Thank you for your great website, and customer service.

We can feed two Newfs affordably and well
1/25/2011 - My two year old Newfoundland, River, is on CANIDAE and has been since she got home. She has the most beautiful coat and is very healthy. Strangers always comment on how soft and shiny her coat is, and they ask what we do to keep it that way. We always respond, "A lot of brushing and good food - CANIDAE!"
We also love the reasonable prices for such a quality food. Our second Newf joins the family in about a month, and we know we can feed two Newfs affordably and well on CANIDAE.

Switched him over to CANIDAE All Life Stages
1/20/2011 - When Dalgo came to us at 5 months as a rescue he was skinny, had Lyme disease, terrible manners, and the worst stomach imaginable. He was being fed [another brand] - Can that stuff REALLY be called FOOD? Yuck! We treated the Lyme disease, taught him the lessons he had missed and switched him over to CANIDAE All Life Stages and when you made Grain Free ALS available we moved to that. He also gets 1/3 of a can of CANIDAE Chicken, Lamb & Fish with a splash of warm water and a quick stir... yummmm. Doggie delight is served!
His name on his AKC papers is Hidalgo Vom Zuverlassig. He is a 5 year old red sable German Shepherd with a "plush" coat. He is the PR dog for Springpoint Farm, our horse farm. He can win over the most fearful, timid child. He shows them how to play kick ball with a hundred and ten pounds of hairy dog love. He sleeps in the bathtub, yes... bathtub! And has done that since he was big enough to hop over the edge, it's cooler!
He loves everyone and all creatures. He has the most gentle, loving temperament and an amazing drive to work. I have had GSDs all of my life and he is the first one that everyone 'wants him for their own'... and no, he is not a grooming nightmare, the dirt just falls out. Unless he has been playing with our summer campers in the arena with a hose... THAT requires a bath!
He has a video on YouTube - killing a physio ball, not intentionally! I was trying really hard not to laugh and make him worse. He just wanted to roll it. He was quite disappointed. Beware the puppy bark!
I should be a sales rep - I am constantly sending folks to your site for FELIDAE or CANIDAE. ;-)

He looks fabulous
1/18/2011 - We started our 3 golden retrievers on CANIDAE last June. The girls were both very over weight. We put them on the reduced food and both are now approaching their normal weight. Lilly, our oldest Golden at 10-1/2 years, is doing so much better. She is acting like a puppy again. Kodi, our field line male, is on All Life Stages. He needs the extra calories because he is so high energy. His coat has gotten so soft and glossy. He is a deep red color. He looks fabulous. I have been told by many people that my dogs look very nice. We used another brand for years but now will remain on this food forever.

It's a wonderful food, and all my dogs love it!
1/17/2011 - I am a foster and volunteer with Carolina Boxer Rescue. I began several years ago using CANIDAE dry and wet formulas with my own dogs who were then 4, 17 and 11. It was so convenient to have one food for all 3 dogs who were at different stages of their lives, since they all enjoyed eating at the same time and would get in each others bowls. When I started fostering a few years ago, CANIDAE was the perfect food especially since I never knew what age boxer I would be fostering! It's a wonderful food, and all my dogs love it! They have beautiful coats, digest it well and I like knowing I'm feeding them a quality food. Thanks CANIDAE for making such a great dog food! Love your product!!

The best food we could be giving
1/12/2011 - Sammie is our 4 year old Golden Retriever. She has been eating CANIDAE since she was a pup. Our breeder recommended that we keep her on it for her lifetime and I am so happy we have chosen to do this. Sammie is so healthy and beautiful. I attribute a lot of this to the food she eats on a daily basis. She loves it too! We will continue to feed her CANIDAE and feel confident that this is the best food we could be giving to her.

No longer has any skin issues
1/11/2011 - My Sheltie Laila first started having skin problems when she was only 6 months old. We tried everything from Omega 3 oils to prescription meds from her vet. After visiting a pet supply store we decided to try CANIDAE. CANIDAE was the only dog food that did not upset her stomach when first introducing it to her diet. Laila has been eating CANIDAE for over 2 years now and no longer has any skin issues. Her coat is beautiful and she is healthy and happy. We now have a 8 week old sheltie who is also eating CANIDAE without any stomach upset issues. I have attached a picture of our shelties, Chase our 8 week old and Laila who just turned 3.
Thank you for making such a quality product!

Her skin and coat are amazing and she is in perfect health
1/10/2011 - As the owner of a German Shepherd, what I feed Madison has always been of great concern. She developed a sensitive stomach early on so I fed her a Lamb and Rice formula and then she developed an allergy to corn and along came CANIDAE! She has been on the All Life Stages formula for nearly two years and her coat and general health are amazing. Her stomach and allergy issues are a thing of the past. Just recently she developed a problem with gas and once again along came CANIDAE with a Single Grain All Life Stages food. I decided to give this a try and we are now into our second bag and her issues have subsided. At a recent visit to our vet, his comment was, "What ever you are doing with Madison keep doing it! Her skin and coat are amazing and she is in perfect health." I am a very satisfied CANIDAE customer and Madison is living proof that no matter what your dog's issues are there is a CANIDAE formula to fit your dog's needs while still keeping money in your pocket!

They both act like they are puppies
1/7/2011 - Since I've been giving my two dogs CANIDAE, which is about a year now, my husband and I have seen a great improvement in their coats, so soft and shiny. They both act like they are puppies even though they are both about 6 years old.

We are happy when our animals are happy, all 8 of them. We have 6 cats too. Thank you for producing such a great product for all our animals.

Great customer service just is an added benefit
1/5/2011 - I have been using CANIDAE for at least 2 years now with my 2 dogs. We switch back and forth between the Orange [CANIDAE Lamb and Rice formula] and Tan [CANIDAE All Life Stages] bags, the 35lb size. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new bag of the Orange and a couple weeks after that the dogs went to the vet for their annual checkup and the vet recommended I switch them to a "lite" type of dog food. Your Silver bag [CANIDAE PLATINUM] is the equivalent. I bought the small size last week and started the transition, mixing as indicated and am at about half and half now.
I'm so happy to find such a good quality food that my pets would enjoy eating and be good for them. I'm so happy there are no by-products, which makes me feel even more confident I've made a great decision having them eat the CANIDAE Line of food. Thanks again, and their great customer service just is an added benefit to a well rounded meal.

Since he was able to eat dog food he has been on CANIDAE
 12/15/10 - Here are two pictures of our dog Bear. The first one in the picture frame is from when he was two. The second picture was taken in September 2010 at the ocean. Bear will be three years old on December 21, 2010. Since he was able to eat dog food he has been on CANIDAE. His coat is soft and clean and has been VERY healthy.
Bear has one cup of your food each morning and we walk approximately one to two miles per day. He also gets four or five of your Snap-Bits each day as a treat when he does his business and when he is good.
Bear was born in Center Harbor New Hampshire by Sherene Cairns who started Bear on your food and uses it on all her puppies. We are very pleased with your dog products and the way they perform.
Thank you,

I start all my puppies on CANIDAE
12/14/10 - I am in the Breeder program for CANIDAE and feed all my bulldogs CANIDAE All Life Stages. I show my dogs in AKC Conformation shows and thought I would let you know that my bred-by male just took winners dog and best of winners twice at our regional specialty in Charlotte NC.
My dog's name is CH Lakeshores Can't Keep a Good Man Down aka Zeus. I LOVE CANIDAE food and the Breeder program is wonderful. My dogs are all healthy and their coats look good. I start all my puppies on CANIDAE and send them home with with the CANIDAE puppy packs.
Thanks again!

My dogs are happy and healthy with this food
12/13/10 - I currently have two dogs, both eating CANIDAE All Life Stages. My older dog began eating the food when I got a new puppy in April. I wanted them on the same diet, which also meant changing her diet from a Grain Free. My female dog was a companion to another dog that we lost earlier this year. My female dog had really bad dandruff, and when I contacted the manufacture, they told me to add a supplement. Since having my dogs, both rescues, both mixed breeds, I have noticed how shiny their coats are. They barely allow me to put the food down for them to eat. I have also begun fostering, and with the experience, I feed CANIDAE to them as well. My dogs are happy and healthy with this food, and I recommend this to everyone.
The bigger Lab dog is Chase (Utely-Philadelphia Phillies) and the smaller dog is Simone (Gagne-former Philadelphia Flyer). Both rescues from the group that my husband and I volunteer with.
We just got a new foster today, and he has cleaned his bowl twice already.

My family all now uses CANIDAE
12/10/10 - I have three Labrador Retrievers and back in 2009 our Lab "Bruiser" started having seizures. We investigated every plant, vitamin, and rawhide we had given him. The only thing we could find was the food we were giving our dogs. We were giving them the "Twinkie" of dog foods. I won't mention the brand, but we did our research and decided on CANIDAE.
We have three Labs, one a rescue and one from a "puppy mill" and well because our paperwork was wrong had 12 puppies and we kept one. So, three dogs later; our dogs no longer have ear infections, no longer have "hot spots", and our "Bruiser" no longer has seizures. This is one area my husband and I won't compromise on. Thank you so much for creating a healthy dog food. My dogs are so beautiful and healthy.
It is tough to get my dogs sitting for a photo but we did our best. Again, Bruiser, our yellow lab, has not had a seizure since August 2009 and it was about 3 weeks after we switched his food to CANIDAE. Dakota, the larger black lab, really put on the weight after we had her fixed and that is why we changed her to CANIDAE Platinum. She is doing better and again we do not have skin issues which is pretty tough for dogs in Florida. If you look at their coats they are just like silk. My family all now uses CANIDAE and also the dog owners on our street and anyone I have been able to explain the importance of good nutrition too.

We love that they are so healthy
 12/8/10 - Just wanted to say that we really love your Snap-Biscuits! Our two and a half year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Polly Browne, absolutely loves them, and we love that they are so healthy! We buy the treats all the time.
We never give our dog human food, so this is her absolute and only treat food, which is the way it should be in my opinion :) And she's all the more healthy and happy for it.
Thanks so much and take care,

Her diet is the best it can be
12/6/10 - My testimonial for CANIDAE's great dog food products began this past June in a quest to find a female Golden Retriever puppy to join our family and in time to train her as a therapy dog to work with hospitalized children. In scavenging breeders' websites via the web and obedience training ideas, CANIDAE's dog food kept popping up in my research. Knowing and trusting that a dog's behavior is very much tied to their nutritional diet, I gleamed CANIDAE's website to ask the customer support representatives a few questions and to also locate a distributor of the dog food (Marshal Grains in Fort Worth, TX).
My husband and I also have a 3 year old Chocolate Lab mix we rescued two years ago, but previously we had owned a female Golden Retriever, and I felt this breed's laid back personality and intelligence would be the best match to train as a good therapy dog. Recently my husband retired from 36 years in a medical field and a new ministry of his working with a therapy dog at a local children's hospital would be a wonderful way to spend his retirement years. We have four grown children, who are all married and seven wonderful grandchildren, so this just felt special and right to venture into as our new puppy matures.
Brioley joined our home on August 25th at 8 weeks of age and began her diet of CANIDAE All Life Stages. Also Abigale, our Chocolate Lab mix, was switched to CANIDAE Lamb & Rice from a previous high end dog food from a local pet store. Her skin and coat do best when she is on Lamb and Rice blend. They both are pretty amazing dogs and I'm thankful to know that as Brioley entered her second level of obedience training classes at age 5 months recently, that her diet is the best it can be as we move one step closer to her being an incredible therapy dog for children. That she continues to be a very laid back golden retriever I attribute to her breeder and CANIDAE.
I must share that Beth, one of CANIDAE's Support Representatives, has been amazing in answering my many questions, along with being so supportive in raising our new puppy to maturity. Her answers have come back not long after my questions were sent and I treasure this bridge of support with her. Since this time I have cheer-leaded and shared CANIDAE's brands with Brioley's five litter mates, our neighbors, our breeder, our Vet, and a special friend, who has therapy assistance dogs for soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. This list is never ending, as I have even more opportunities to share CANIDAE's products. Many blessings to CANIDAE.

My white greyhound isn't shedding anymore
11/19/10 - I have two dogs and two cats. I try and save as much as I can when buying food. I just purchased a Doberman puppy and I was told by the breeder to give him your dry food only. Well, what a stir it caused. My other dogs decided to not eat their food and ate all the CANIDAE instead. I have purchased several bags of your dog and cat foods now. My cats, Maine Coons, eat it like it's ice cream.
My dogs also eat the Snap Biscuits. I was told by the breeder to send you some information for coupons to help with my costs. I'd prefer them staying on this diet. My white greyhound isn't shedding anymore with this new diet.
Can you please send me coupons or vouchers towards the new diet plan? I would really appreciate any help in saving a few dollars here and there. The reason I ask is because I am 100% D.A.V. U.S. Army Corps. I am on a strict budget so I would appreciate your full cooperation in helping me keep my animals fit and trim.

His skin and coat has improved tremendously
11/10/10 - My Terrier mix, Rusty, started having serious skin problems about 8 years ago when we moved to a different city. The vet and I tried everything to eliminate his skin problems -- from changing his diet to giving him allergy shots, allergy pills, and other prescribed medications -- without much success. I actually considered moving out of the city until the real estate market prevented me from doing so.
My vet suggested CANIDAE. I was sure Rusty was allergic to something in the back yard and did not think his dog food was the problem. I was at the pet store, saw CANIDAE Grain Free dog food, and decided to try it.
Rusty has been on this diet for about 4 months and his skin and coat has improved tremendously. He is still a little itchy but not as much as he used to be. He has improved markedly. He no longer has open sores and he can finally sleep through the night without being miserable. I have two other dogs and they too are on the CANIDAE Grain Free diet. Thank you, CANIDAE, for putting out such a great product!

We get tons of compliments
11/9/10 - We've been feeding our dog CANIDAE food and our cat FELIDAE food for years. We get tons of compliments on their appearance and health and I'm always quick to mention that we exclusively use CANIDAE and FELIDAE!
Pictured are my gorgeous boys. Teddy is a 5 year old purebred Miniature American Eskimo dog and Toby is a 3 year old rescue domestic long hair.

Glad to have them back on CANIDAE
11/1/10 - I recently took a trip to Texas with my three Whippets. We ended up staying longer than planned, so I had to purchase food for them while I was there. Unfortunately, I could not find CANIDAE, so I purchased what I thought might be a comparable brand. We were there for a month. By the time we got home their coats were not as soft and shiny as they are when they are eating their CANIDAE PLATINUM®, they didn't seem to be as satisfied (seemed to be hungry all the time) and to put it nicely, they had a considerable increase in elimination.
Needless to say, I am glad to be back home in Arroyo Grande and glad to have them back on CANIDAE.
Thanks for a great product.
