CANIDAE Pure Farm to Bowl, Wild-Caught Salmon & Sweet Potato, 22 lb

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My dog has been enjoying this food from the very first bowl. The ingredients seem to be high quality, and I like that it provides balanced nutrition without a lot of unnecessary fillers. The kibble size is just right, and my dog digests it well with plenty of energy throughout the day. I also noticed a healthy-looking coat and consistent appetite after switching to this formula. Overall, it’s a great dog food that offers excellent quality for the price, and I would definitely buy it again.

I highly recommend Canidae Pure to anyone looking to treat their pup with high quality AND sustainable ingredients at a reasonable price! My flat coat retriever Maddie’s youth is behind her (~7 yrs old), so despite her typical retriever puppy energy well into adulthood, she was finally starting to slow down a tad. We thought for sure it was just age, but then we decided to switch her food up and we quickly learned that it wasn’t the case! Quickly after we switched her diet, her energy levels perked back up and her coat started looking better. Before Pure, a 30 minute walk would wear her out. Now Maddie forces me to play fetch with her after our walk, and looks for playtime at other times throughout the day. It’s no doubt a stark before-and-after due to the new food! She chows her food down as soon as I put it out for her, which is something that we’ve had issues with Maddie in the past. She’s definitely a fan of the Salmon + Sweet Potato! Finally Canidae is one of the only brands out there that truly works for the growers who produce their real ingredients using regenerative ag. As someone with an agriculture background, this is a big selling point for me!

This has been an excellent food for our dog. She has sensitivities and needs a clean formula with no chicken, and this fits the bill perfectly. She eats it eagerly, and we’ve had zero issues since switching. I really appreciate the simple, high-quality ingredients and knowing she’s getting balanced nutrition without unnecessary fillers. It’s been a reliable, stress-free choice for us, and I feel confident feeding it to her every day.

A good quality food. Just didn’t work for my dog. He loved the taste.

Let's be honest. As pet owners, we care way too much about what comes out of our dog's posterior. I've had so many poop conversations with my husband that I know sound crazy to anyone who doesn't have pets or kids. Was the color okay? What about the consistency? One of our dogs had loose stools for several months that we could never figure out. She also had some skin problems, so my vet suggested it might be a food allergy. My personal opinion is that food allergies in animals is an overused diagnosis for a lot of symptoms. Our dog's particular skin problem didn't look like the a typical allergic reaction in dogs (she's a husky and her particular problem looked more like a zinc deficiency). However, I decided to humor the vet and try switching her to a limited ingredient dog food. We chose Canidae Grain Free dog food because it had 8 primary ingredients, none of which were chicken, plus the vitamins and minerals that we still want to make sure our dog receives. Let me say, after a few days on this food, my dog's poop has never looked better! After a few weeks, the skin issue around her eyes and mouth also cleared up! It's been over a month, and we also realized that her late night potty breaks have disappeared (she's an older dog, so we though the late night outdoor trips were just part of her old age). Overall, I'm very impressed by the quality of this dog food and believe it has had a positive impact on the health of my dog. (I've also since apologized to my vet, who is super sweet and very understanding of crazy pet owners like myself!)

As you may know, Frenchies have allergies to anything, their stomachs are more delicate than newborns. So, we have tried three brands without any healthy success (soft stools, vomiting, nonstop scratching, pellets too big or hard to Frenchies or plain didn't eat it...). This food has been perfect, she even looks trim and fit, as the other food just made her look more like boxy-looking (I know, Frenchies' bodies are a mix-and-match-looks). We started with the rice and salmon, she liked it, but they ran out of it and tried the salmon sweet potatoes, and that one hit the spot. Now she can devour her plate (Not even slowfeeder seems to slow her down). We pair this with Native Pet Omega 3 Fish Oil, to improve her digestion, hair, and nutrients (Remember, Frenchies are prompt for anything). So far, we have seen an improvement in her coat and energy, and she seems to be fuller with this food. The downside... when she passes gas... oh my.... too much salmon!!! at least, is not as frequent as with Purina One, so, I think this is a win.

The dogs like this well enough and I am happy with the recipe/ingredients. The kibble, however, seems problematic. The individual pieces disintegrate into a sort of coarse dust. I don't see that it matters to the dogs, but it bothers me given that it brings the manufacturing process into question. I will also note that this food is too expensive to have to take the extra step of adding wet food to make it more palatable. I may buy one more bag to confirm this is more than a fluke but am more likely to shop with a local independent business.

Good Food for the Labradors. High Protein means feed a bit less and keep the boys lean.
