Yes I think I’ll definitely ask that group about it. That one document that shows the taurine levels of dogs on certain is interesting (Acana was not looking good!). I scrolled to the Canidae part and some of theirs wasn’t good either but I noticed their Grain Free Pure Sea limited ingredient diet seemed to be just fine on that list. It wasn’t highlighted in yellow or anything. This confused me because the ingredients in that food does contain peas etc. If the fish formulas for some reason are okay, I might try to get my girl on the newest formula of Canidae (Grain Free Ancestral Raw Coated Fish). However, I’m still cautious and waiting for some more info.

This is valuable info as well! I’m curious on your thoughts of fish formulas? One of the vets I used to go to always told me to choose the fish formulas if they are from companies with high quality ingredients.

Interesting information and I’ll be sure to join that group, thank you!

Hi Crazy4cats!

Thank you too for your advice! I actually commented on that article as well haha. Canidae has normally been a pretty good brand though I did take note of the taurine levels. It appears some of their formulas were okay though, unless I’m reading the table wrong. This new formula is unknown however, but it’s ingredients have more meat than their other formulas, perhaps it might be better? I’ve never really heard of dogs eating Quail, guinea fowl or pheasant though so I’m not sure how beneficial they are as far as nutrition goes. Their Fish formula raw coated perhaps might be better than the poultry/meat? I’m not sure 🙁

Thank you for your well wishes too!!

Thank you for the link! I’ve been reading up on a few articles on this issue but my head right now is all jumbled so it’s still making me overthink. My dog is an American Staffordshire mixed with Dalmation. However, she’s allergic to Pork so I would not think the Canidae Red Meat ancestral would do well for her. One issue with these new formulas is that they are still new and we dont have much info on them. The idea of raw coated kibble sounds interesting though, and my dog is definitely a sniffer (smells food and either walks away or eats). The Avian and Fish formulas seem to be a hit with people on Chewy and it seems like they are filled with meat, however, Idk, I’m just so cautious now.

Thank you for your tips too!

This entire thing has got me all crazy. My dog is currently in Merrick Grain Free Chicken and Sweet potato but she’s gotten bored of it and sniffs/turns away. I was planning on switching her over to Canidae’s new dog food formula “Ancestral Raw Coated Avian formula or Raw Coated fish formula”. However, while this food shows a lot of meat (quail and pheasant are safe for dogs?) It also includes Legumes, so now I’m cautious. Does anyone have any thoughts on this new formula or just any recommendations in general?
