No la, he didnt eat grass. I watch him very closely wan and he would not dare to. Hahaha... The all life stages dogfood, I really cant comment because I dont know much about it but there is something in it that bothers me so I avoid it always.

Oic, thanks for the feedback. I will give California Natural a try but never seen kibbles which are yellowish. Acana is from the makers of Orijen, so I thought they should be about the same... ?

I think they did write the same thing for Canidae as well.

I may also start my dog on Canidae soon because I think he is losing interest in Pinnacle.

The rationale for all life stage food is based on the premise that dogs in the wild do not choose food for puppies and adults. Therefore, they eat the same thing - the quantity is just different.

I am neither for nor against all life stage kibble - I am merely explaining the rationale behind it.

Ok, I think its my mistake but I dont think they wrote that for all the brands that have chicken fats as content. For example: Innova Evo.


Ok, make sense also la - in the wild, they dont pick their food like that but could it be the people who create food knows whats better for them, shinier coat? protect teeth? Possible ah?

Added on September 24, 2007, 7:06 amI woke up at 6.00am because Casper woke me up. He was sleeping in a tub in my room.

At 6.30am, I brought him out for his morning walk. I come to realize his poo is still greenish ever since Acana came into the picture. This is even with the regular transition of changing dog food. But due to poor light at so early hours, I am not sure but I know the poo is shiny which means wet.

I will monitor more closely in the evening poo.

Anyone here feeding Acana has the same findings? Hun, you feed your boxer Acana, right?

no, both of you did not make mistakes, there are TWO reviews for Canidae (different products?) Me thought there was only 1 variant for Canidae?

hmm..da all life stages contains more meat ingrediants..
turkey..lamb..fish..chicken..

the other one contains oni chicken meal i think.

Greenish? No.... the poo is lighter in colour compared to dog on Orijen. So far no problems. Poop that is moist is considered ok, it should never be watery or dry like cake coz watery as you know means diarrhea and dried poop means got some constipation.

Hi I new here.... I give Nutri Edge to my GR and JRT ... but now NO more recently Nutri Edge the pellet changed size and the smell was very strong in salt smell and now they have problem with their fur..rough and broken and my JRT skin like having pimple lump in the body. Can one reconmend GR what food the best. have anyone try Avoderm? I have try Canidae is good but diffcult to get cos not many place sell it.

Must be the commercializing of NutriEdge.... well, try out California Natural. It really helps when it comes to skin and fur condition.... Avoderm is not bad too but my family prefer CN, we tried alot of dogfood on our dogs and still CN gives us the best results among all.... only drawback with CN is some dogs can have extra moist and soft poo, this is not diarrhea, just the poo is softer only.

My MS was on Science Diet (from the breeder), and I started to give her on Canidae since Monday, and her body smell is reduce.. previously, everyone who hugs her will be able to smell her body smell, even after bath! Now you really need to sniff at her body to smell something, which is good! The poo doesn't have strong smell, which is also good =) Nothing bad on the food yet (for me) except that she don't always finish up her meal. I fed her the amount recommended by Canidae. She might be full, or maybe it is not that delicious comparing her previous food, which she always want for more!

TQ ...... ya lo... Nutri Edge is commercialize now.. 1 pet shop owner told me they are now local produce to Licence don know how true... Canidae is good i just try a small pack can see the different, i also wanted to try Royal Canin i prefere to have a healthly dog when seeing than strong and with healthly fur so happy.

hahah softer poo is an understatement, as much as i would like to feed CN, it gave my two furkids watery poo... the kind that looks like a puddle... yucks

then you would want to avoid Royal Canin, heard it's expensive and crap...

I heard it ias a "drug" haha.. once they eat it, they don't want anything else... cause too delicious jor?

Yes , smell nice and taste great i guess . But not much ppl feed RC to their furkid because it is really xpensive

True i heard it expensive but what to do now my 2 doggie look ugly. now my GR fur like no color very base.... but my JRT still look like bodybuilder with shape... have to try RC first to build them up then slowly change to cheaper food

Ooh, you have the watery poo problem too? I thought only Crazymouse's chelsea and my GR has it only - but mine is just very soft (lembik)
Other than that, I am actually ok with it.

I am now trying Innova for my GR. Same company but the poo is firm compare with CN.

I used to give Nutriedge to my GR too. His fur has great and he loves it. However, I stop giving him since I discover one of the packet I bought grow worm very fast.
