Shocked And Very Delighted - Pedigree Dog Food Critique
The beef and fish meal gives her the worst fish breath imaginable. I don't know if the food causes her to want to try giving me face kisses more than normal, but every time she gets near me after eating this her breath is like a shotgun of stank. I buy Newman's Own adult dog food for my two Chihuahuas. I've always fed them natural, human-grade dog food, even though most brands can be a bit pricey.
I was able to source the Canidae and the Solid Gold foods locally for my Dal with serious allergies. Both of the foods have had better results than the super pricey prescription diets.
No more running out of food, no more driving 50 miles or more to find it, no more hassles! And best and most importantly of all, my little guys LOVE IT!
Canidae is not cheap either, but it is because of the quality ingredients. My sons Collie has been eating it for the past few months and now the fur is much shinier, the dog does not smell and it loves the food. I asked how it is our fault for your inadequate 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"
In addition the "Grain Free" caught my eye, since I was contemplating going to a raw diet. From my research the Canidae "Grain Free" formula is as close as you can get to "natural" diet without committing to raw food.
A 'meal' protein is just the protein you end up with after it is cooked down, the water cooked out of it. So a 'meal' protein in the ingredient list is a good grade meat protein, which won't be reduced by the processing of the ingredients together. She just doesn't care for it. Usually she will sniff it and walk away. This is the only brand that they actually seem to enjoy. I've tried science hills diet, Purina puppy chow, and Iams.
I then checked on line and found many complaints about Canidae. I am a professional dog groomer that recommended this food until now. And I feel better knowing I am not exposing him to additional pesticides and hormones by going mostly organic with this formula. I had been buying all sorts of super-premium, super expensive foods.
Like other reviews say they had chronic digestive upset and wouldn't touch the food. As soon as we switched foods all went back to normal. A couple of the reports from reviewers originally scared me about the reports of scratching which was exactly the problem I had with other dog foods. I gave it a try and my husky has never had a problem since and she has been on it for almost three months now. I was buying it from a small local organic grocery store but they only carried it in the smallest size and I was paying almost twice as much as on Amazon. Now I have it set up on Amazon to ship monthly.
