 Formula changes causing upset October 7, 2008
I have a rescued greyhound and he was doing great on Canidae until we got our last order just last month. Now he's a mess digestively. I'm on an email discussion group for greyhounds and have seen lots of complaints as well as confirmation that the formula has changed. Definitely not working for my dog anymore. Also be aware that these used to be 40 lb. bags for the same price they now sell a 35 lb. bag for. I know everyone's hurting financially, but I think in this case the dogs got sold down the river for a few bucks. Disappointing.
 Company sold out. No different from regular grocery dog food. October 1, 2008

I was a huge fan of canidae, but beginning about a month ago, the company changed the formula to cheaper raw materials, smaller bags, and worst of all outsourced manufacturing to Diamond pet foods (yes, the same company linked to multiple recalls in the past). Please do a search on google/consumeraffairs.com. I will not be giving my dog this brand anymore. It's the same mass produced garbage as is iams, eureka, etc.
Canidae Lost Another Loyal Customer! September 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Canidae was the best food for my lab for the last 5 years until they changed the formula in June. OMG...what a disaster from the very first bowl with the new formula(which I did mix with some of the old stuff to transition him). I'm so disappointed...and no notice on the bag about the new formulation???? The old stuff worked GREAT, but I'm sure to save a few bucks, they've changed to cheaper ingredients. Well I'm DONE. My dog has had the worst gas and runny stools. I now need to find a food that he can handle which is not an easy task since he's got skin allergies...and I won't buy just anything...it's got to be topnotch. Canidae was ideal with the old formula...not so anymore... Any suggestions out there on what I can transition to???
CHANGE IN FORMULA MAKES DOGS SICK!!!!! September 1, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If I could give this product no stars I would. We have been giving this dog food to our dogs for years. But for the past month or so when the formula was changed and put on the shelf our dog has been having an allergic reaction to something. At first we thought it was just allergies as dogs like humans, change as they get older. As he was the only one to have problems. We tried cleaning our patio on a daily basis. Bought new food and water bowls to stainless steel. Wash the water bowl as much as possible.
We even took him to the vet NUMEROUS times. Our vet, which has been practicing for over 25 years and is the best in our area was puzzled when nothing worked. Our dog started to lose his fur, has odd looking spots all over, under his chin he has open sores that do not go away no matter how much we wash and put medicine on it, and he's consistently scraching and making it worse. In between his toes it's red and inflamed, in his ears are a bright red color like a rash. Lastly, he hasn't been eating as much and has been having diarreah. A week later our other dog broke out in hives and had to be rushed to the emergency room. They gave her shots and they slowly went away. But now she is starting to experience the same problems as our other dog.
The last time we went down to the pet store to pick up his food we over heard other customers yelling about the food making their dog sick. We heard all of the same symptoms as I just described above and the shop owner didn't know why and has taken the food off of the shelf, and had given them a refund. We decided to not buy any more canidae but to go online and do some research.
We have found out that Canidae has changed their formula and has added many new ingredients. All of which are grains such as millet, that MOST dogs are allergic to. We have found other forums of people describing the same issues that they're having with their dogs just like we are. When we called customer service they did nothing and blamed us for our dogs reaction to the food. When I asked how is it our fault for your inadequte labeling on the bag in which the food is in when we buy it? And how is it our fault when we've been using your dog food for the last 7 years? There was no response, the "customer service representative" if you can call her that, simply said "if you don't like it then don't buy it." And then she hung up on me.
The bag never changed it's appearance nor did they add any "stickers" to indicate a change in their formula. If there had been I would have checked to make sure that what they changed it to wouldn't affect my dogs, or at the very lest I would have known what signs to watch for and change this terrible food to something different if they had a reaction as they did. I feel this horrible company should have to pay for my vet bills as they did not inform us the consumers of their changes. I understand I choose to have pets, and purchase their foods, but I did not choose to change a formula that was fine just the way it was. Could the reason for changing the formula was to make it cheaper for them to produce?? How about just increasing the price of the dog food if that was the case, because I would have kept purchasing it. Should they see the light and go back to their old formula my family will never purchase it again just like the many others that I'm sure will not.
I have now chosen a food for them that is GRAIN FREE and they are now starting to chow down like they once did. We will have a long recovery road ahead for our male dog as his coat and face has it the worst. My hope is that anyone looking to buy this food find out about what the formula has done to others animals like mine before they buy it.
New formula (Aug, 2008) is no good August 28, 2008

This was a fine food until some time in early August, 2008. I bought two bags, this formula for my old, 140 lb dog, and lamb meal and rice for my 1 year old. They had loose stools the entire time. My older dog finished his bag, and I switched him to Innova, the diarrhea cleared up immediately, so the argument that Canidae makes on the web site about needing to make a slow transition is at best specious. I will have to throw out the remaining food for my young dog, to get him back to normal. Investigate the very large number of complaints on the web about the new formula before exposing your pet to it.
