Will You Switch Dog Food?

Alimel · Jul 12, 2008

In light of the changes in Canidae and the rising cost of some of the foods on the market, will you switch? If higher prices are an issue, what would you switch to?

I'm switching cat food because I feed felidae (cat version of canidae). My new food is more expensive ( like $6 more) but since my dad pays for the dry I'm just going to pay the difference. I switched to Before grain (by Merrick) which is a plus since it's grain free.

Not yet !!!

just switched to Taste of the Wild --used the last of the canidae yesterday. don't like the looks of the new formula--so will see how this goes.

Stickin' with EVO RM . . . been with it since it first came out, the regular EVO before that, and Innova before that.

Im sticking with regular EVO

Saga WAS on Canidae, because she was horribly gassy on the regular Innova, just turns out she a gassy anyways, so we have switched back to Innova. I am always on the quest for new kibble though.

Renee750il · Jul 12, 2008

Hillside, try her on the EVO RM. You might see (smell?) a difference once her carbs are lowered.

I might switch Bailey's (well, keep it switched) but I can't with Buzz. Tried that and ended up with a super itchy, pathetic dog. He stays on Fromm Salmon. I might try Innova again with Bailey.

Right now she's eating NV Lamb.

I went to raw when feeding raw was more expensive than doing any good kibble on the market.. Now - its the reverse- doing raw is cheaper but that is now why I have continued. I do raw because I know the quality and what my dogs are eating.. Take planning - yes- is it worth it- yes- is it easy- yes- matter of habit..
When I started raw in 1984 we were the crazy people. And only a few of mine were eating raw- .. then the ethoxyquin hit the foods and all heck broke loose. I went to raw and never looked back. It wasnt just my dogs effected- it was also my daughter..

Alimel · Jul 12, 2008

I made the switch to Innova.

borzoimom · Jul 12, 2008

Thats a good one..

noludoru · Jul 12, 2008

IF I was feeding Canidae, hell yeah I'd switch. We were feeding Innova and switched to Kirkland, and he's being supplemented with Orijen.

iwantmypup · Jul 12, 2008

Never had a dog on Canidae, but I'd definitely switch.

SpringerLover · Jul 13, 2008

Ugh, I need to start budgeting again and go raw. It annoys me to feed kibble but I'm SO bad at budgeting.

That and I hate hacking up Turkeys and it takes my dog DAYS to eat one so I HAVE to hack it up... haha.

Renee750il · Jul 13, 2008

Mine get some raw at times for variety, the thing is, with the exception of beef hearts or what he catches and kills himself, Bimmer PREFERS his EVO RM. You should see the pathetic looks he gives me when I give him chicken quarters or turkey parts

Buddy'sParents · Jul 13, 2008

Well, we have one on raw, and two on EVO and EVO RM. A second is going to be transitioned to raw and I have no idea what to do with Banzai, he is so d@mn picky, but it sure as heck is not going to be Canidae.

Cheza · Jul 13, 2008

Cheza's allergic to... most things. She was on Canidae for awhile and didn't suit her. She's on Fromm's Duck and Sweet Potato now and is doing just great

Renee750il · Jul 13, 2008

Buddy'sParents said:

Why not leave Banzai in his EVO? He likes it, it's good for him - if it ain't broke . . . I swear, he is so much like Bimmer!

Buddy'sParents · Jul 13, 2008

I'd prefer they all -eventually- eat the same thing. Bella is going to be transitioned to raw next month. Banzai liked some of the home cooked stuff we did, but it's always a grab bag. We'll see how it goes.
