Evangers has been around since 1935, family operated business, and never involved in a pet food recall. This is hands down the best food on the market. Anyone disagree?

 

Hey Bradley Morten, they make some of the best canned food on the market today. Their 100% duck, 100% phesant, 100% rabbet, 100% chicken along with Hunks of Beef, are some of the best you can buy. I feed a small amount of one of these every night to my dog as desert. He goes nuts over the duck.

 

In my rescue operation, I feed only Evangers canned food. The beef, chicken drummets, thighs and whole mackerel provide some bones (safe!) and there is much variety. Variety is very important for health since we don't know which foods may hurt which pets when in excess. The food is human grade. There is an organic line (except for vitamins etc).

 

Hunks of beef is awesome, the first can I ever opened I almost started to eat it myself. The smell was incredable. You are right in the fact they do not add any vitamins and minerals.

 

I can never trust these guys again, unbelievable!!!!

Evangers has been a big red flag lately....Looks like it all finally caught up to them.


If you want to buy can....look at Merrick


I also found a new can that looks fantastic....Nature's Logic and I do believe that it is made in their own facility.

 

I support Evangers, I won't let years of good standing be tarnished by a disgruntled employee. Besides, my dogs won't eat Merrick. They just love Evangers.

 

what happened to innocent till proven guilty? anybody can accuse anyone of anything! doesn't make it true. food is amazing. looks like merrick has taken shortcuts lately. trying to save money? i am into tikidog. have you seen this stuff? unbelievable.

 

all I can say is how can I trust this company to put quality ingredients in my dogs food if they are so greedy to steal from the utilities. Do I really get pheasent or is it meat surprise?

 

THIS FOOD GOT MY POOR BEAGLE VIOLENTLY ILL! HAD TO RUSH HER TO THE DOG ER ALMOST LOST HER!! SHE COULDNT STOP VOMITING AND HAVING DIARRHEA! I WISHED I SAVED A SAMPLE BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SUED THEM!

 

ERIC
I LOOOVE NATURES LOGIC I AM USING THAT ALONG WITH BARFWORLD.COM RAW FOOD!

 

Dawn, first off learn how to use your ""CAPS button"", who would take you seriously if you can't even hit the caps button??? I know how I feel. Secondly, great for you and your raw diet, ya hoo, speffy keen, neato jets. OK, we have heard enough. Not all people are going to feed raw for alot of reasons. And I for one would never in a million years feed my dog raw chicken never, ever, no way. Have you ever seen how they raise them ? It is very obvious if you have, that you need to make sure you cook it these days. And I would never feed eggs raw, now of course if I rasied my own I MIGHT. Now go to the forums you well fit in great there.

 

My french bulldog who is 5 mos. old came to us with Giardia and we are treating her with Flagyl. She is rather picky when it comes to food and seems to like to eat on her own time. She does not let the Evanger's Lamb and Rice sit long. She seems to love it. I have tried Wellness Puppy Formula and she did enjoy it but found it rather fatty and rich, contributing to her diarrhea and gas. Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner also is a success but the clean, well formulated and consistency driven texture makes this food a winner. I am a first time dog owner, so if I am doing something wrong, or, if I should try something else, please feel free to give me constructive advise.
Thank you so much

 

You are doing great, by picking good foods without corn and other nastys. I had a German Shepherd who was just exactly like yours. I would put his food down, he would look at me, go back to sleep and would not touch it. But when I got home it was all gone, sure hope the kids weren't eating it, LOL, just kidding. Some dogs just don't do good on certain foods, no biggy, you found one that fits your dog. Just keep in mind that if your dog is a picky eater leave the food out all the time, just don't let her get fat. When she gets older try one of the duck,rabbit or pheasant formulas, my dog goes nuts for duck.

 

I have to be optimistic here and say that I think the competitors of Evangers have taken full advantage of this site to bash evangers. While Im not crazy about this whole mess, my dogs dont seem to care one bit about the news. At least I found something that my dogs go nuts over. Can another company say that their dog food looks like human food. Just putting in my to cents.

 

I am so thankful to Evangers. My 9 year old Caalier was diagnosed with MVD and needed to loose weight. The vet cardiologist suggested Evangers Game Meats. While my dog loves the food, we have been able to get het weight down with controlled portions and the vet is very pleased with her progress.

 

I do not think that any competitor is on here bashing evangers. I did a google search after being thrilled with Evangers whole mackerel. My cat loved it and I wanted to check out the company before buying more. the article about them stealing utilies is all over the internet on major news sources. Just google it. I also this on the fda website http://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/newsevents/cvmupdates/ucm166265.htm there was another site that linked this to complaints but I could not find this on the fda website. Two times once in 09 and once in 08 they had run in's with the fda. Go to the FDA website and search for yourself.

I am confused now as to whether I want to feed this to my cat. While the news story of them stealing utilities has not been proven, I am not sure I want to gamble with my pets health. If they have done what they are accused of then I agree with the others who question what else they might have done. These accusations along with them twice in the last two years not following FDA protocol make me lean toward not using this food. I am contacting them and depending on how they respond I will decide from there what I will do

 

I can't tell you what to do, but they make a great product and like everything and everyone, things have gotten tough. Illegals have made the issues tougher and have impacted everyone, it's just most people haven't figured that out. They tried to keep their company afloat, do I agree with how they did it, heck no, but I still recommend their products.

 

Honestly, people, the owners of this company are charged with having put their employees at great risk, and of stealing millions of dollars of utilities. Do you really think they care what they put in their dog food?
The FDA has also deemed their canning practices unsafe. Read the details yourself and feed their food at your own risk.

Wow, Evangers looks to be in trouble after reading the posted link. I stumbled upon this while looking for a food for my JRT puppy. Whether the story is true or not...it is pretty bad. I've been to their facility and I am not surprised. I met with Holly a few years back and the place was a mess. It looked like they took their papers and threw them up in the air and wherever they fell they did. She was pretty arrogant and I am surprised they are a high end food. They kept their canned food on skids outside and in the open rafters. It didn't look sanitary and I was waiting for a huge roach or rat to come out. If this is true this is the best thing that could have happened, because the truth comes out in the wash...they are lucky that they didn't have a leak or huge explosion

 

Evangers Duck and Sweet potato, Tony told me it was really good. The price is right 1.29. He gets raw beef for the next 2 days, so next up is Evangers beef and chicken, another one with a good price tag. I can not find Whole Earth farms in my area, everyone says the same thing, It does sell very good.

 

It's a bummer Nan, you can not feed the duck and sweet potatoes because...I only feed a little at a time so it isn't a big thing to me...I might feed a can every 5 days.

DUCK, WATER SUFFICIENT FOR PROCESSING, SWEET POTATOES, VITAMIN a ACETATE, VITAMIN D2 SUPPLEMENT, VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENT, ASCORBIC ACID, NIACIN SUPPLEMENT, d-CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, RIBOFLAVIN SUPPLEMENT, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, PYRIODOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE, VITAMIN B12 SUPPLEMENT, BIOTIN, FOLIC ACID, ZINC PROTEINATE, IRON PROTEINATE, MANGANESE PROTEINATE, COPPER PROTEINATE, CALCIUM IODATE AND SODIUM SELENITE.

 

Jess, you seem to know a lot about dog food-lol. I have 2 beautiful labs that are 7 and 8 and thrive on Innova senior (I give EVO can as a treat). I have been avoiding it but I know now I have to switch them due to the P&G thing. Any suggestions? Even though it was a senior food, the protein was still pretty high while fat and calories were fairly low which like I said they did awesome on. I do not want to go entirely grain free especially at this point in their lives but I would like something with a significant amount of protein but not too high in calories. I was thinking Fromm, though their protein is lower than Innova senior, and or GO Natural, but that seemed calorically high. Every time I think I found a good brand, I read or hear something negative. For treats i stopped using EVO and use a company called Northern Biscuit from Canada but I am lost on food

Thank you so much. I agree that Orijen is the best but I am not sure if at 7 and 8 years old that a complete grain free food would be okay for them. I do give grain free treats though and sometimes grain free can food as a special treat--I put it into bones then freeze it overnight and they love it !! I just want something comparable to my senior Innova and I am so nervous about switching them.
