And what treats? CANIDAE claims to not have any wheat or corn in it. "CANIDAE Pet Foods also does not produce cuts and gravies, pouches, and does not contain corn, wheat or soybeans in any of our products or formulations, and all ingredients are of US origin." I just switched from Nutro dry to CANIDAE. This is the first complaint I have heard of about CANIDAE. Mary - what wet food were you using? And what treats?

I have 4 bichons that I cannot seem to get well. What I was doing was feeding them CANIDAE and mixing it with wet food because that is the only way I've been able to get them to eat dry food. I switched them about a year ago on CANIDAEafter having problems with there skin being dry. Anyhow one is back and forth at the hospital test after tests ad I have spent thousands of dollars on vet bills. I lov my Little Kids an just want them to be better. I would lie to go to the CEO front door and give them a piece of my mind but what would that solve. I have one Kitty that we rescued a year ago that has always ate dry food thank goodness. She seems to be doing well. There has been so many sytems with my dogs it is unreal. Blood in the Urine, Stool, Vomiting blood, Pus in the stools, depressed,and the list goes on. Has anyone had any ofthese sytems in their Pets? And does anyone else use CANIDAE FOOD I am so sorry ,sad and angry about all of this.

I sit here day by day, hour by hour. I'm not getting much of my work done, because of the fear for my kitties. I lost one, one is sick, and the other I had tested 4 weeks ago, and he was fine, but this morning I caught him drinking out of the toilet. As much as I need a good cry, it isn't going to make anything any better. I just hope all the helpless animals that haven't made it are together upstairs and living in a "better place".

At this point there seems to be a lot of .. "I heard from a friend of a friend..." and so on that it is hard to keep facts straight from just paranoia. Our cats were taken off Fancy Feast when this whole thing broke. Then, after being on Blue Buffalo and Merrick's and having the poops, and on Fromm's and finding out it is made in China and imported to the US, we decided weeks of testing and Fancy Feast has still not been shown to be tainted, we put them back on it in the meantime. Unfortunately, they do like the crap so very much :( and tend to turn their noses up at most other foods, esp homemade. If there is real info on Fancy Feast problems or 1st person accounts.. I'd like to hear about it. Thanks Kathi, can you provide links to info on problems with Fancy Feast?

I think there is a section for comments, and you can describe your vet's reaction there. “Comment by Sandy — April 9, 2007 @ 10:17 pm”

For Christmas after she died an out of state friend asked for a photo of her. Then sent me an ornament she hand made with the photo in Victorian decor. I cried. And it is such a beautiful remembrance of her. Sandy

I got my dog when he was between 10-12 months old. He came from the dog pound so I don't know his exact birthday, but we celebrate his birthday on May 1 and we also celebrate his "gotcha" day, on the day I adopted him. He's not a Coast Guard dog, but he does serve his community by being a therapy dog. Like your dog, mine saved my life too when he alerted me during a medical problem, and I have also asked to have us buried together. Your dog sounds like a very special soul.

I got her when she was 11 months old. She was a Coast Guard Dog until the unit shipped out. She was born on my birthday. I didn't know that til later. It was definitely love at first sight. She had beautiful amber colored eyes. She saved my life twice. a fire and attempted burglary. It hurt not to be able to save her. I've instructed my kids to have our ashes buried together. Thank you Sandy

What you said, "I don’t believe I’ve ever loved anyone as much as I loved that beautiful soul", describes exactly how I feel about my dog. People who have not experienced such a feeling don't understand. Kathi, I’m so sorry to hear about your dog.
