Canidae has white rice as #4 ingredient. I question the nutritional value of white rice. No protein, all starchy carbohydrate.
Anyways, I have done my research, utilized opinions of an in school homeopathic (soon to be) DR, which is currently a nutritionist who worked for a few years in a homeopathic clinic. Tired of having to prove the quality. Just because you've never heard of it, does not mean it is inferior food. (not you, just people in general. This food is not available in any stores. Fairly new company.) |
I think you should keep doing your research. Millions of Chinese and Japanese survive on a diet of white rice, there is alot of nutritional value in it.
There is a reason that the food you feed is almost half of the price of Canidae...it has ALOT of grains in it. Meats cost more.
Here are the first 6 ingredients of your food:
Take note...ingredients MUST be listed from the most to the least.
1) Chicken Meal
2) Gr. Brown Rice
3) Oats
4) Barley
5)Ground Yellow Corn
6) Chicken Fat
Out of the first 6 ingredients only ONE is meat.
Canidae
1) Chicken Meal
2) Turkey Meal
3)Brown Rice
4)White Rice
5) Lamb Meal
6)Chicken Fat
Out of the first 6 ingredients THREE are meat.
I have been studying animal nutrition for the last 12 years....not formally, but reading, buying nutrition books, joining canine nutrition lists. I study dog food labels like some people study sports stats.
I am not saying that Canidae is the be all and end all of dog food...there are some other good foods around. If your dog is doing well on the food you feed that is great.
...but please do not try to tell me that the more grains there are in a food and the less meat is better.
