I do not feed Canidaee, but I know many here do. I ran across some information in a different forum that you may want to know.

Canidae is changing it's formulas. In a nutshell, the food will no longer be gluten free, as barley and millet will be added. Rice bran is a new ingredient as well (I believe), as are peas. Instead of "herring meal," they'll be using "ocean fish meal" which gives them quite a bit more leeway in exactly what they're putting in that food.

Here are comparisons, with links to the website:

The old formula has already been overwritten. "Lamb and Rice" formula will now also be a misnomer - even though it's legal as far as labeling regulations go. This is the current ingredient list:
