You may be wondering how is it that this formula can be effective at all the life stages of a dog. Well, I found out that this formula is vet-formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all breeds, sizes, as well as less active dogs and seniors.

Hill's, Wellness, and Blue Buffalo senior wet foods have the ideal nutritional balance for older dogs. Canidae has had to issue only one voluntary recall of its product to date. This was in May 2012, when a large batch was suspected to be contaminated with salmonella. The Canidae’s dog food products that were recalled we being manufactured by Diamond at the time.

If your mutts’ ages are all spread out, this one-size-fits-all option may be a good choice for your furry family. 3. CANIDAE All Life Stages Multi-Protein Formula Dry Dog Food Richardson says nutrition standards are the same as for other dog food. The food should have an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement and the ingredients should be the same ones found in other types of dog food: meat sources of protein, whole grains, fruits, and marine sources of fats. It's a big bonus if there are healthy extras like omega fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin.

Canidae’s dry products can be divided into two product lines – Grain Free Pure and All Life Stages. The Grain Free Pure line of dry foods contains a dozen recipes for puppies through senior dogs, including some new small-breed specific formulas.You’ve probably noticed that finding the right brand of dog food to work with today can be a herculean task. One common reason for that is that every other day, there seems to be a dog food company popping up. Opting for the older brand is thus justifiable, given that they are proven and tested. The analysis must validate the minimum crude protein and crude fat percentages as well as the maximum crude fiber and moisture percentages.

Another thing about this recipe is that its rich with omega fatty acids provided by flaxseed. Together with salmon oil, both work towards the promotion of healthy skin and coat, as well as a stronger immune system. 5. CANIDAE Grain-Free PURE Heaven Biscuits with Salmon & Sweet Potato Crunchy Dog Treats The next ingredient is barley. Barley is a starchy carbohydrate supplying fiber and other healthy nutrients. However, aside from its energy content, this cereal grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog. If your dog is highly active or more sedentary than average, you must adjust the feeding amount accordingly. Active dogs may require more calories, while less active dogs might need fewer. 4. Monitor Your Dog’s WeightSome deep-chested large breeds are also prone to bloat, a life-threatening condition in which the stomach expands and twists when they swallow excess gas. To reduce the risk of bloat, large-breed dog foods are made with large-size kibble to encourage dogs to chew more, slow down while eating, and swallow less gas. Healthy extras: Some foods contain extra ingredients intended to support healthy skin, coat, and joints, says Swanson. Examples include long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA, usually from marine-based oils or meals), glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussels, and additional vitamins (vitamin A, biotin) and minerals (zinc, copper). Probiotics, prebiotics, and yeast can also benefit a puppy's immature gastrointestinal tract, and probiotics may help boost overall immunity in senior dogs. The ninth ingredient is alfalfa meal. Although alfalfa meal is high in plant protein (about 18%) and fiber (25%), it can be less common to find it in a dog food recipe. After the kibbles are cooked, they are coated with Canidae’s HealthPLUS blend of probiotics, antioxidants and omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. This promotes healthy digestion, immune system, as well as skin and coat. Company NMLS Consumer Access #2110672 MORTGAGE BROKER ONLY, NOT A MORTGAGE LENDER OR MORTGAGE CORRESPONDENT LENDER
