Follow up on Canidae by
[email protected]
I had an email response from Canidae this am. That was quick since I
only sent the question last night. The answer was that they have not
changed the formula and that they have never done feeding trials.

animals. That...

Old dog lump? by
Rocky[_2_]
On Monday (Nov 24) I found a big unconnected pliable lump back
of Friday's right shoulder. I figured (hoped) for an old dog
fatty lump, and that's what everyone else who had older dogs
with lumps figured, too.
Friday went to the vet today, and she knew exactly where it was
located before...

What's in pet food? by
Rudy Canoza[_5_]
Goo would like us to believe that what's on the label is what's in the can,
because that's what he believes. Goo apparently thinks herds and flocks of
livestock animals are raised for no other reason than to be used for pet food:
"It's established: cattle and other animals are expressly raised
to...

Sheesh by
SteveB[_2_]
I googled Canidae dog food, and found recalls, lawsuits, all sorts of
negative things. Almost makes me want to ask the old wino what to feed my
dog.

trouble at the vets- warning its a LONG one by
MauiJNP
Yesterday was Maui's long awaited vet appointment and I had the whole office
to myself. First, the vet tech weighed Maui (he's 13.0 lbs, I guessed
8-10), and took his temp (102.0- good). The vet came in next and checked
Maui's ears (I knew one was going to be bad). Sure enough one ear...

The new vet recommended using this dog food for Maui and Cali. I had
mentioned that Cali had "mucus" diarrhea earlier in the week and Roundworms

Dog food plate height? by
SteveB[_3_]
I have heard that the height at which a dog's plate is put is important.
I have a Mutt and Jeff situation, a Corgi and a Lab/Rott.
I am going to build a higher platform for the Lab/Rott, as I think it is
better for them. I just need to do it right, because if it isn't right, and
