Are those all you can get?

 

No... What are some other good ones?

We have already tried Orijen, Acana, Now!, Taste of The Wild and some Primal and Natures Variety RAW

 

What was wrong with all the other kibbles you've fed?

 

- Orijen was Too Rich...

- He just would not touch Now! at all...

- Taste of The Wild is a Diamond Product which I want Nothing to do with....

- He did Good on Acana until their recent formula change where he was
having an allergic reaction to something in it...

He's an 8.5 - 9lb Yorkie... Tends to be a bit sensitive to things...

 

What about trying Go! It's the same company as Now with a different formulation. I'd also try soaking the kibble in hit water to release the aroma.

Dehydrated or freeze dried foods could be an option too.

 

I think fromms might be a good option, a lot of our customers like it, especially for small dogs since kibble size is like cat food. I prefer their grain free line like the game bird recipe and salmon tunalini

 

Isn't Canine Caviar the food that claims to be the only food on the market that prevents cancer?

For that reason I wouldn't even consider it.

 

Cattle and cow feed. I'll be a customer when I buy a dairy farm.

 

Well you could always look at the ingredient list, and then look at the price difference. Here, I just don't see a question as to which one is better.

 

How is it a lie?

Would you feed FROMM over CC?

 

Many of th Canine Caviar formulas have extreme levels of phosphorus. 1.6% *minimum* DM basis. 1.6% is the extreme *maximum* allowed by AAFCO. Kidney damage is not something to take lightly because it is irreversible.

 

I just checked my bags....
Open sky has. .8%
Wild Ocean has 1.0%

 

So you definitely wouldn't feed it?!

I'm feeding the grain free open sky right now...
Fed the grain free Wild ocean for 3 months...

This dog food thing is so confusing!! :-(

 

It is quite pricey compared to the FROMM

 

It is a rip-off. The high levels of phosphorous are proof the the guy doesn't know what he is doing and/or the sources of protein are very bad.

If you like Fromm, Fromm Gold or Classic is a much better product.

DaViking wasn't kidding when he said it was like animal feed.

Anyone that says the foods "reduce" the risk of cancer should be avoided.

 

I do Know that their customer service is not very good.
I can't get any responses to my emails from days ago.

 

Interesting because the good old chicken and rice certainly didn't work for Duke and many other dogs.

The calciumhosphourous in the ocean is 2.6:1. The open sky is 1:.8. That doesn't look bad at all to me. The calcium is kind of high in the ocean, but not dangerously high. The ingredients aren't bad either.

If it works I'd stick with it.

 

There are certainly exceptions but you are talking about 1 in 10,000 dogs. Most times a problem is simply in the mind of the owner or a case of overfeeding leading to loose stools.

There is a dog show on TV right now and just be aware that 95% of those dogs are "slumming" on Pro Plan, Eukanuba & Royal Canin. Maybe even a Dr. Tim's dog in there.

:becky:

 

I feed Fromm grain free and am very happy with it, very! Nicest coats on my girls, decent stools, good health and energy, no tummy issues. I stick mostly to the surf n turf and beef frittata.

 

I have fed both Fromm and Canine Caviar in the past, but neither right now. I would not return to Canine Caviar because #1: it produced very bad yeasty ears in both my dogs and #2: it's high-priced for what it is.

I've fed Fromm Surf & Turf and one of my dogs did great on it, but the other seemed to get goopy eyes. Overall, I think Fromm has some good formulas but goes overboard including every ingredient under the sun . . . seems to be a trend among brands though.

 

I feed their feline caviar to my cats and I really love it for older or younger cats for putting on weight, my guys just loved it! For my dog, I probably wouldn't consider it, I had a bad experience with their rep when they came to our Dogfest event that we have every year. Here is how the conversation went…
Rep: Hello, do you have a dog or cat?
Me: Hello, I have both, but am looking for a sample for my dog that doesn't have fish in it.
Rep: Ok, here is a chicken sample, our foods are single source proteins, this DEFINITELY doesn't have fish in it
Me: *looks at ingredient list* It says whitefish right here as the 4th ingredient, anything else?
Rep: Really? Oh, it does... try the lamb sample, this DEFINITELY doesn't have fish
Me: *looks at ingredient list* This one has fish too *raises eyebrow* anything…else?
Rep: You're right, I don't know why this says it has fish. I'll have to check it out, well that's all the samples that I have
Me: OK, that's too bad, I guess I won't be trying your food, sorry *walks away*

Just didn't get the idea that the guy knew what he was talking about. I'll stick with what has been working for us. LOL!

 

Ohhh My!!
How long ago was that? I don't see Fish in their chicken or lamb formulas, now....?!?!

 

My girls do very, very well on all 4 of the Fromm grain free varieties.
They do much better on grain free than grain inclusive.

 

If you have an issue with the company, why not just call them? I've never used it so I can't answer your question.

 

That was my next approach.
I really wanted to get answers in writing so that I could easily share, via forwarding their email, with the other people I know who are also feeding it and had questions they wanted answered.

 

Some years ago I fed Canine Caviar. I didn't use the only grain free they had at the time (venison) because it had too high of phosphorus content for my dogs. I used the Special Needs formula for some kidney issue dogs at the time and the Chicken and Lamb regular adult formulas for my other dogs. I also used their canned turkey. My dogs did well on it and liked it. I only stopped using it because my local pet store stopped selling it. I haven't used any of their new grain free formulas, but they look good to me. I do use Fromm grain free dry, and in fact am feeding it atm. I do top with various canned foods as well. My dogs are doing well on Fromm. My cat also eats Fromm, both dry and canned and is doing great, too. I admit I haven't had any experience with CC's customer service so I can't comment on that but Fromm's customer service has been great, in my experience.

 

I feed Canine Caviar grain free and it is the only food I will ever feed again! I tried Fromm's and it might be a second choice if CC were not available, but Jackson (my labrador) did not do nearly as well on it. He THRIVES on Canine Caviar! His coat is glossy, his breath is odorless, as is his rear, his muscles are beautiful. I am so picky about what I put in my sweet boy and I trust Canine Caviar 100%. Definitely try them! A percent of your purchase also goes to researching Canine Caviar. Check out all of the testimonies on their Facebook page with happy pet owners. I am most definitely one of them and I think you will be too!!

 

Yes! I have actually posted testimonies of my 2 1/2 year old Yorkie on their Facebook page.
I have been feeding Canine Caviar to him since August 2nd. He Loves the food and literally Still, 5 months later, shrieks for his meals... which he had Never done on any of the other foods I had tried.

I was having an issue with their customer service.... and was thinking of switching to FROMM. I do know for a Fact that they Delete anything and everything negative from their Facebook page. They Deleted a couple of the issues/questions I had had about their having problems sourcing their duck, resulting in shortages and about the transfer of their Mill in Ohio to New York. They just recently worked a contract out with Hi-Tek Mills in Georgia.

I am Happy though to report that I went ahead and have stayed with Canine Caviar... and I couldn't be Happier. Seems they were doing a revamp of their web page so messages were not getting to them [or at least that is what they said....]. The Facebook deletions are still a bit Shady, but they have now answered all of my questions and I am more than satisfied with their food for my boy.
