Not Impressed With Canidae
I switched my pup from Natural Balance Duck/Potato to Canidae kibble/canned. He was eating NB to rule out a food allergy, which I believe was wheat...
Anyway, he has gone through one 20lb bag of Canidae and I have not been too impressed to say the least. His stools have been wonderful...small, compact, odor-less. But, his coat has gone downhill. It has lost is luster and shine that it had when he was on NB. Also, he has been a tad itchy...not too bad, but more. Not only that but his skin has taken on an odor and he also has eye boogers every now and then. I am assuming its food related because he was perfect on NB...coat was absolutely gorgeous! Anyhow, I am thinking I might stay away from Chicken based foods...My boy also has never been thrilled with the taste of Canidae...even the canned Canidae he is now turning his nose up to! 
I believe my boy does better on foods with a fish oil v. sunflower oil. NB had salmon oil, canola oil, and flaxseed. Canidae has flaxseed and sunflower oil. I just recieved my Timberwolf Organics in the mail so I am so excited to see how he does on that...beings that it has fish oils and walnut oil. I would love to just stay within their "family" and rotate between their varieties.
Has anyone else had negative experiences with Canidae?
