Canidae
Canidae is what I feed, Stacia. I LOVE it and cannot sing its praises enough! My pet dog has been on it for going on 3 years now, and Jak has been on it for a couple of months now. It's an "all life stages" food, so it can be fed to puppies, adults, and seniors. That means that everyone's on the same food, so you don't have two or three different bags of dog food. It's also made with human-grade ingredients, and no corn, soy, chemical preservatives, or byproducts.
I did a price comparison several weeks ago for a guy that was feeding Beneful to his 60 pound Golden retriever, and it actually came out equal. I think it was something like $285 to feed one 60 pound dog over the course of a year, for Beneful or Canidae. There's a BIG difference in the two foods, and a decent difference in price per bag, but when you look at how much you have to feed of the Beneful, you're having to buy it almost twice as often as the Canidae, so that's why it equals out in cost in the long run. Gypsy gets 1 1/2 to 2 cups of food a day depending on how active she is, and whether or not she starts to look a little 'chunky' to me. Jak gets anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups a day, depending on whether he's in the middle of a growth spurt or not - which I think he is right now, because he's literally SCARFING. :lol:
Canidae has two "all life stages" formulas now; the original, which is made with turkey, chicken, lamb, and herring and their new chicken & rice one which only uses chicken as the meat protein. I've always used the original, so I can't comment on the chicken formula at all. The kibble is fairly small, so Abbie shouldn't have trouble with it, and it's got a 'dry' crunch that's very similar to a baked food - not hard and not crumbly. Doesn't taste bad, either (yes, I've tried it!)
