changes in canidae?
Has anyone else feeding Canidae noticed a change in the past few months
with their dogs? For the past month or two the boys have had dry skin and have been scratching. I've also noticed that I'm having to feed more of the Canidae than before to keep weight on Wojo. And, didn't the company used to do feeding trials vs just formulating to aafco standards? I need to call the company but keep not getting around to it. -the story of my life. Beth |

I contacted the distributor and he said there have been no changes in the formulation. My dogs have continued to do fine on it, no changes or problems. Mustang Sally |

Mustang Sally I'm not aware of the company EVER conducting feeding trials....for as long as I can remember it's been "formulated" for puppies. As for fixed formulas....that's something else that I don't think they have ever done. It'll be interesting to hear what they tell you. |

Mustang Sally I tried to get hold of the company yesterday. I'll have to try again today. I am glad to know that I haven't been the only person that is noticing differences. My boys are still eating it but I may not keep feeding it. Beth |

My boys are still eating it but I may not keep feeding it. Is there no possibility that the dry skin and scratching are due to something other than their food, such as humidity level in the house? I wouldn't say we've noticed differences; the couple of people who said their dogs didn't want to eat it are the type who impulsively change foods. One of the dogs in question was sick at the time, and I encouraged his owner to at least get him diagnosed and work through that before she changed foods, but she likes to make changes. I would like to know what the company tells you, though, if you get a hold of them. They're usually pretty responsive by email if you can't get through by phone. Mustang Sally |

Mustang Sally I had thought about the heat finally being on and all of that but they didn't have the problem last year. I still can't get through on the phone. I'll have to send an email from home I suppose. Beth |
