Senior and less active dogs may be fed a reduced amount, depending on the dog's weight and activity level. Grain free diets may not be suitable for all dogs. If you have any dietary concerns, please consult with your veterinarian.
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™ Fish 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™ Fish 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.

My dogs love Canidae Ancestral Fish Dry Dog Food
By Mssmith on Sep 17, 2020
One of my dogs has developed allergies to eight foods, mostly starches. I searched for a food that everyone would eat but that didn't contain those ingredients. Canidae was on the list and was one of the first dry dog foods I had fed my first dogs years ago. I went with it again, and am so glad I did. Both my lab mix and my pittie eat it like it's a treat (actually I do use it as treats on walks) and the lab mix is no longer scratching and licking himself raw.

The only kibble I’ll buy!
By Deviousherbert on Aug 25, 2020
My yorkies both had terrible food allergies when they were younger. I couldn’t figure out what was causing them to itch and their skin to be red and inflamed for so long but after some research I realized that cheap fillers in dog food could be the issue. Even some proteins, which are used too much in dog food, could become an allergy if all your dog eats is beef or chicken. After a lot of searching, I found this particular kind of kibble. It doesn’t have any grains! There are a lot of vegetables that are also questionable. Peas, for example, are known to cause kidney stones in cats and may not be good for your dogs either so I just steer clear of it. Potatoes also may lead to cardiac issues, My yorkies both had terrible food allergies when they were younger.

Potatoes also may lead to cardiac issues, though that was just one study, so take everything with a grain of salt. Still, I love knowing that all their getting from this kibble is wild caught fish. Once I switched them to this food years ago, they stopped all itching! The price is worth it to know they eat well and don’t have any more allergies due to their diet. I will never buy anything else! … more

Nutrition verses taste!
By Tigerlil58 on Aug 15, 2020
This product appeared to be just what I wanted nutritionally. Thought I had found a great grain free food that was safe and healthy. However my Boston Terrier refuses to even try it. I left it down for 3 days and he would not touch it. He is always picky but usually caves when hungry. Not with this food.

Both of my dogs ate this right up and got excited at meal time. I don’t like the fishy smell - but they love the taste.

Candies freeze fish dried coated dog food

My dogs seem to like it okay! I thought the size of the pellets would be a little bigger for large dogs.

She LOVES this food
By JCVN on Apr 25, 2020
My very fickle dog loves this food. Usually we have to cajole her to eat. With this food she dives right in. She usually has smushy poop but with this food it's firm. Happy doggie, happy Mommy!

Not for our GSD
By CueBall on Dec 29, 2019
Since our 8 yr old GSD had allergies first flare up a few years ago, we have been on a constant hunt for healthier food choices. Unfortunately our poor girl is allergic to so many protein sources that we're limited to salmon or plant based. When I saw reviews of this product and the ingredient list I was super optimistic. Unfortunately our girl will not touch this unless we heavily add goodies to it, which kind of defeats the purpose. In addition it has a VERY strong fish smell despite being in a sealed container in our laundry room. We're onto another option here on Chewy - these guys have been great!
