The Daily Feeding Guidelines are a good starting point on the amount of food to be fed on a daily basis. Individual pets may require more or less food. Always provide plenty of fresh water.
When changing to CANIDAE® Grain Free PURE Ancestral™ Red Meat Formula, some dogs may do better by making a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Start with 25% of the new food mixed with 75% of the previous diet and gradually increase the new while decreasing the previous until the transition is complete.
CANIDAE® Grain Free PURE Ancestral™ Red Meat Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

Meals That Prioritize Protein
Full of the rich animal protein your dog needs, CANIDAE Grain Free PURE Ancestral formulas are always made with ample amounts of fish, poultry, game or red meat, then coated with freeze-dried raw protein for added flavor. Each 20-pound bag contains up to 17 pounds of animal protein, rounded with whole vegetables. The result is a meal that is similar to what your dog's ancestors ate and thrived on.
Raw Coated to Tempt Every Pup
Savory pieces of kibble become even more delicious when they're coated with raw meat, fish or poultry. Freeze-dried for optimal flavor and texture, a burst of raw adds a little something special into every bite. Not only does it enhance the protein in your pup's meal, but few dogs can resist the delicious aroma and flavor of raw—so you can entice even your pickiest pal.

Packed with Protein to Feed Their Instincts
With a variety of regionally sourced proteins in every complete and balanced formula, CANIDAE Grain Free PURE Ancestral formulas feeds your dog's natural instincts with every bowl. Real animal protein nourishes their muscles and fuels their boundless energy, so you know your active pup is getting the nutrition he needs and the flavors he craves.
Regionally Sourced Ingredients You Can Trust
Each formula is made with a variety of ranch-raised, farm-raised, fresh or wild-caught ingredients, to create wholesome, responsibly raised meals your dog will love. Vegetables, legumes and herbs are locally sourced, too, which means your dog's bowl will always be packed with sustainable nutrition you can be proud to serve.

Smells Fishy
By Caseyk on Dec 13, 2021
While I can't speak on the food's taste personally, I can comment on what I can observe: The kibbles are very small in size, I had to double-check that I did not purchase puppy food. I specifically purchased "Red Meat formula" to avoid a "fishy" smell which my dog doesn't appreciate, however this food reeks of fish. Her breathe even smells fishy after she picks at a few pieces and refuses to eat the rest. Which brings me to my last point, the pup isn't much of a fan, however, it seems to be a high-quality food and I have to think that it's because of the fishy smell.

Std poodle with allergies
By Madge on Nov 15, 2021
So far, so good with Canidae. My girl is allergic to chicken, so no chicken, chicken fat, or chicken egg products. I’ve tried another high end (expensive) kibble and discovered the meat kibble contain a lot of chicken fat, and the fish kibble contain a lot of egg products. Thank you, Chewy, for the refund. But the Canidae products do not. Canidae is also nutritionally dense, and what’s more, she even likes it.

Mysteriously Icky?
By Vanessa on Nov 27, 2021
I ordered this for my super active 3 year old Aussie. She typically isn't picky, but won't even go near her bowl when this is in it. Went on a multi day hunger strike, so we had to get something else. Bummer, especially since it's so pricey.

Furbabies loved it!
By JenL on Nov 12, 2021
I have always tried to give my dogs a couple of different tastes of food and have tried a few different brands. They chowed down on this immediately and still do, where as they were getting a little finicky on their old food. Will definitely stick with this one!

Discontinued?
By tuckerbear on Oct 3, 2021
I wrote to Canidae a few days ago questioning the availability of this product. It's hard to get from any other store and Chewy only has 20lb bags now. Canidae replied that this line was discontinued.

He likes it!
By JMark on Mar 28, 2021
My Silver Lab is a picky eater and he seems to really like this food. It’s helped with allergies and is itching less. Hasn’t bothered his stomach at all and eats better than usual.

Excellent dog treats.
By American on Dec 13, 2020
This is really good food. Dogs and cats love it. We cannot afford a steady diet of it for them but if you consider the cost of dog treats, this food is excellent for dog treats and then it is not quite so expensive. We usually purchase it when it is on sale.

We love our Canidae
By Booboo on Dec 11, 2020
Very pleased with quality of the Canidae Ancestral foods, including the Red Meat formula freeze-dried raw coated dog food. I have been feeding the Canidae foods for many years and never disappointed in condition of pups and overall health.

Food trial
By Carmen on Dec 7, 2020
I purchased 3 different foods to find a replacement for our dogs current kibble. This seemed to be high quality, but the dogs didn’t really care for it. Moving on to something else.
