how did canidae dog food got dogs sick couple years ago?
Are the dogs getting sick because the dog owners are not mixing in with the old formula, or is it because the new formula itself is bad? i just switched my dog food from royal canin to canidae all life stage. my dog is doing fine with the dry canidae bag food. but not the canned, he get diarrhea everytime with the can food. been fed my dog canidae about a month now. and he sometimes get really soft stool. or diarrhea. but most of time he’s fine and get hard stools. so is canidae good for my dog?
Yes, Canidae ALS is a good food. Yes, the reason that dogs became ill a couple years ago was because the company failed to properly inform customers of the altered formula, so owners didn’t know to gradually transition from the old formula to the new formula. The abrupt change resulted in digestive upset in many dogs; it wasn’t because the formula itself is bad.
If his stools are generally healthy, then try to pinpoint what might be causing the occasional soft stools. They could just be, you know, random, but it’s possible that they’re being caused by a certain treat or meal topping. Look for any possible connections.

Canidae changed the formula without notifying the consumers. This is common with dog food manufacturers. Since customers were unaware of the formula change they could not gradually transition from the old formula to the new. Therefore, the new formula with more protein and added rice made some dogs sick.
Try adding a small amount, less than a tablespoon of the canned to the dry for a week or so to allow the digestive system to adjust. Then, gradually increase the amount over the next month. If that doesn’t work try a different brand of canned.

The formula change really has been messing up dogs systems causing severe diarrhea. The dogs were getting sick even when being fed the Canidae prior to the formula change. if i were you i wouldn’t take the risk of making your dog miserable. I would switch to a different food all together.

Work at a high end pet store that only sells USA made holistic & and organic pet foods. We do sell Canidae but many customers have chosen to feed something else so over time the sales of Canidae has been going down.
