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.

Excellent quality ingredients and my dogs love it
By HollyM64 on Mar 5, 2019
Wanted to try a different grain-free fish protein dog food and after reading the ingredient list, decided to give it a try. Our 2 toy fox terrier crosses love this food and gobble it up enthusiastically. Our chihuahua was a bit "iffy" the first couple times I gave it to him, but I began mixing it with some warm water and he began to eat it enthusiastically as well. He is missing some teeth, so I figured it was just too hard for him to chew, but no issues since mixing with the warm water. This food has excellent quality ingredients with an abundance of different fish proteins and I appreciate the higher ratio of protein, especially for a dry food.

baby don't like
By angel on Mar 8, 2019
The Grain free pure ancestral fish formula freeze-dried raw coated dry dog food, the pieces are a lot bigger than he is used to and the bag was full of i guess it must be the raw freeze dried coating. But my shi-tzu does not like it i have a terrible time getting him to eat it so i have to find something to put in it so he will at least eat a little bit at meal time.

Contains carrots instead of peas !
By Dizee on Mar 14, 2019 Top 1000 Contributor
Our dog with IBS is doing better on this food. Maybe peas are hard to digest for some dogs, so we were glad to find a grain free food with carrots instead. Pricey to feed multiple dogs at about $4.00 a pound for food that is not human grade ! The dogs are happy though !

My chipoo LOVES this food and her digestion is perfect on it.
By LunasMom on Feb 4, 2019
When I rescued my 2 year old chipoo mix from the local shelter, her digestion was a mess: soft, stinky poos. I tried a bunch of different foods, from wet to freeze-dried raw to dehydrated but Canidae has been the best for her. Her poops are picture perfect and best of all, she loves the food. I rotate amongst the three different protein types to make sure she gets her nutritional needs met. Best food I've used to date, and I've tried all the top brands.

Nom, Nom, Nom
By littlemissjellyfish on Jan 8, 2019
I don’t normally write reviews this soon, but had to share my experience. Our Chewy box arrived today and from the moment I opened the Canidae Grain Free Pure Ancestral Fish bag my two pups were going crazy! My older pup Opal is a picky eater and is always the last to finish her food. My younger pup Freyja always investigates Opal’s bowl to check for any leftover kibble. I was amazed to see Opal devouring her food. She went back to her bowl numerous times to check and see if she missed a nugget...AND she went to Freyja’s bowl to lick it clean and do the same. I am encouraged that this food will finally satisfy my picky dog and *hopefully* help Freyja and her skin allergies (only time will tell I don’t normally write reviews this soon, but had to share my experience.

Formula changed?
By MPJP on Jan 21, 2019
I have been buying this food since July 2018. My last order (January 2019) contained kibble that was significantly lighter in color (dark brown vs light greenish brown). I hope Canidae company rep can shine some light on this situation.

Okay - he'll only eat it with topper
By mbmb on Jan 5, 2019
My medium hound/terrier is a picky eater. He didn't find this any more appealing than other, uncoated ones we tried. I'd put it in his toy with treats, and he'd let these kibbles hit the floor and ignore them. It's okay, and seems healthy, but it's not worth the extra money.

The disappearing food
By Opaitich on Dec 29, 2018
Our dog loves the Canidae Fish formula. I put it in his bowl, then I go to fill his water bowl. When I turn back, the food is gone. If he is in the yard and doesn’t want to come in, all I have to is say is the word “food” and he is there in a flash. The best food I ever fed my dogs.

Border Collie Approved
By Kaaw on Nov 17, 2018
My senior Border Collie absolutely loves this Canidae Raw Coated food. I'm here today to purchase a large bag after receiving samples from the company. He enjoyed the sample so much, that he is now whining & begging for envelopes when the mail arrives. The raw coated salmon doesn't have an overpowering odor, but does smell like salmon, in a good way. It's obviously very high quality food. We also received a sample of the All Life Stages kibble, which was a hit as well.
