Canidae dog food

I don't know if anyone has been using this food but we have for over 2 years and since opening a new bag it contained worms which we returned immediately and was given another bag. This bag had no worms but the color and size looked different. We didn't think too much of it and fed the 2 older shelties. Sam started with yellow smelly diarrhea and scratch and biting his legs and feet. then he started vomiting indigestive food this made me start looking at what could be wrong with him he had no energy and was just not right. Molly only would eat part of her food and walk away again not normal for her she was very gassy and her stools loose. She too itched and bit at her legs. Mia had no problems (she isn't on that food). My daughter went on line and discovered that Canidae has changed the food and there are allot of sick dogs out there. We immediately stopped feeding the food and changed to another. Sam and Molly are getting better but still not up to their normal activities. They were on this food about 2 weeks maybe. I am putting a web site here go to it if you use Canidae food and read the problems that have occurred. Please pass this on to anyother pet owners so they maybe informed.

They don't sell this particular brand of dog food over here in New Zealand but it makes you wonder what actually goes into pet food! Hope that with the change in diet you two will be back to normal soon.
