Cautions: None
Transitioning Your Dog to Canidae:
•
Days 1 & 2: Feed 75% previous dog food and 25% Canidae.
•
Days 3 & 4: Feed 50% previous dog food and 50% Canidae.
•
Days 5 & 6: Feed 25% previous dog food and 75% Canidae.
•
Day 7: Feed 100% Canidae.
•
In most cases slowly transitioning is not possible. In that case, feed smaller portions more regularly by breaking up the daily intake to 3 to 4 feedings per day. Adding warm water to the food will also decrease the chance of your dog eating too quickly and not chewing thoroughly. Gulping a highly palatable product could cause vomiting.
•
If at any time during the transition, your dog experiences gastro-intestinal upset, keep the ratio of new to old food the same for several days. This will allow your dog to adjust to the new ratio before you incorporate more of the new food. In the event you are not transitioning with your old food, withhold food for 1 day and then start re-introducing 3 to 4 feedings per day mixed with warm water. All other treats and supplements should be withheld until fully transitioned.
•
You may notice a change in the appearance of your dog's stool even after the transition period. This can often be a result of a change in the amount of fiber and protein in the new diet and is normal.
Directions:
•
The below suggested feeding guidelines are a good starting point on the amount of food to feed your dog on a daily basis. If your dog eats more than once per day, simply divide the suggested feeding guidelines by the amount of times fed per day.
•
Pregnant dogs, during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy, should be fed up to 50% more than the recommended amount for an adult dog.
•
During lactation and for puppies, feed twice the amount of food as suggested for an adult dog. Lactating dogs should be fed 3 to 4 times a day. Puppies (six months to a year) should be fed twice daily.
•
Senior and overweight dogs may be fed a reduced amount, depending on the dog's weight and activity level.
Tip: Canidae contains more meat and fewer carbohydrates than most other dog food brands. While a higher meat-to-carbohydrate ratio provides a healthier and more natural canine diet, those dogs who are used to eating a different diet will transition easier if the old food and new food are mixed together for a short time.

I've been eating this food just over a month, and I like it, My owner was buying my food at the Vet clinic, which is very expensive for him, he was paying 37.$$ for an 8lb bag of Z/D ultra,which would only go so far, I have stomach problems its sensitive to food, My owner very seldom gives me table food cause he knows it makes me sick. With Canidae I haven't gotten sick at all. To let you know it is a little less money , then getting it at the Vets. I would definately recommend this to my friends.
It's very hard to find a food that you can give to 4 dogs ranging in age from 2 yrs to 17yrs and this is the perfect food!!!! My American Eskimos love it and also my Black Lab. I am convinced this is one of the reasons Nanny is still around at 17. It's easy on the tummy and everyone likes it. Also, it's good on poopie pick up cause it disintegrates fast cause it doesn't have all those fillers. I highly recommend this food. With 4 dogs I go through a 44 lb bag in a month, so it's easy on the pocketbook too.
We've had our Lab, Boxer and Jack Russell on this since we got them as puppies. They have all been very healthy and happy. We get compliments on their coats all the time. You know it's good food when the big dogs only get 1cup morning and night because it's loaded with things they need instead of filler. On a funny side note I had to chuckle at the star rating for taste. I have no idea, my girls eat it up fast though.
Yuki is 17 years old, has few teeth, and seems to like dry (crunchy - doesn't like semi-soft) food along with her canned wet food. Can you suggest any of your products for her?

A:
My 17 year old American Eskimo eats the dry Canidae PAWS and has 6 teeth left. So Yuki would do fine with this. Nanny doesn't like wet food so she only eats PAWS.
