Canidae Pure Petite Premium Freeze-Dried Raw Coated Dog Food for Small Breeds, Real Lamb Recipe, 10 lbs, Grain Free

Picky Chorkies loved this dog food.

I trust this brand and I’m very happy that they now have a freeze dried dog food for my Chihuahua. I was using Hill’s science diet, and I really liked the lamb formula so I now mix it half-and-half with the freeze dried dog food. My idea was to slowly change the ratio she was eating.

I recently switched my small breed dog to Canidae PURE Petite Limited Ingredient Premium Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, Lamb Recipe and have been extremely satisfied with the results. Both my dogs are prone to food allergies and sensitivities, so finding a high-quality, limited ingredient food was a priority. Canidae PURE fits the bill perfectly, with a short list of whole ingredients and no fillers or artificial additives. Since switching to this food, both my dogs' coat have become softer and shinier, and they have more energy and a healthier weight. They also seems to enjoy the taste, as they eagerly finish every meal. In addition to the great nutrition, I appreciate that Canidae is made with high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients and produced in the USA. My favorite part is the small kibble size is also perfect for my small breed dogs' smaller mouth and teeth. Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision to switch to Canidae and will continue to feed it to my dog in the future.

Our dogs have eaten this food for years. However, we have had issues with the condition of the kibble from Amazon we didn't have with other online vendors. 2 of the 3 bags have arrived pulverized with 20% of the kibble powdered.

My 6 year old pomeranian had bad eye problems and we had him on Zesty Paws Vision bites but, they were expensive and he didn't like the taste. I ran out of those and his eyes got cloudy again but right after that we switched to this food (grain free, lamb) and I was so surprised to see his it made his eyes super bright and clear, and improved his vision even better than the the supplements did! The other unexpected bonus is that his coat is SO full and soft and he rarely gets a mat now (before he got big ones all the time and I had to battle them daily). This food clearly has excellent levels of vitamins and nutrients. It's a little pricey but worth it, especially considering the big bag of this costs less than the $45 eye supplement I was giving for his eyes.

Unfortunately , my dogs ( two Frenchies 25 lb and 26 lb) kept choking on the kibble which is too small for them . It is made for a small dog ; however , there is a picture of a French Bulldog on the back. I thought feeding this to my dogs would be appropriate . They would get it stuck in their sinuses and would sneeze it out . Get it stuck in their esophagus and they would throw it up right away. After a bit of this, they refused to eat it amd I didn’t blame them ! Should only be used and marketed for VERY small dogs ie minis !!

I have a 5 year old Chihuahua who is SUPER picky when it comes to dry food, usually won't even touch it. The second I put this in her bowl, she chowed down on it and has continued to eat it. If you have a picky eater, I'd definitely give this a try!

seriously, my dog loves this. i was looking for a high quality food for my shih tzu as he seems to have a sensitivity to a lot of foods on the market. he loves this and seems to be doing great on it. so glad i found this.
