Switched our dogs' food
Hello,
We rescued a rescue dog a couple of months back. 7-8 month old lab / hound cross (what we call a pure-bred Tahoe Terrier). Two good kids rescued it off of the beach, but winter was looming, no fenced yard, and puppy expenses coming on. Our existing 11 year old (male) lab / golden cross got along with him great, so we kept the new one. Existing dog was on Purina Large Breed (previously "Large Chunks"), the new one came with some "Puppy Chow". We spent hours reading the history here and following links, talked to a trainer, and decided to upgrade both dogs to Canidae All Life Stages / PAWS. Wow. The shedding from the older dog is down to less than 20 percent of previous falls, no farting in the phase-over, great coat on the newer (previously slightly malnourished) puppy, almost too much energy from both. Found a feed shop with it for mail-order prices ($33 for 40 pounds). Although food opinions here on rec.pets.dogs.health can be all over the board, we appreciate the leads (and the mutts are happy too). Thanks, L&C |

To be fair, Canidae (it amazes me that 90+ percent of vets have no idea how to pronounce it properly) has been this group's one of the top favorites for many years. So how do you pronounce it? Oppie has been doing well on Canidae; he's been on it since April.

So how do you pronounce it? Huh. I hadn't thought about it. I say "CAN iday". I don't know why I don't think of it as a version of Canine and say "CANE iday". And I say "FEEL iday" - which does tie in with Feline. Judy |

I've never heard anyone pronounce it other than "CAN-ee-day," but it occured to me that that's actually kind of a funny American thing and maybe it's really "CAHN-ee-day." I tend to opt for clarity over correctness, and will stick with "CAN-ee-day," now that I think about it. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
