Does this food contain chicken or beef protein? My cat is allergic to both, and aside from the 7 main ingredients I can’t be sure by looking at the list. Thank you!

Answer by ChewyMay 04, 2020
This formula doesn't contain any Chicken or Beef.

Is 'Natural Flavors' a type or precursor of MSG?

Answer by ChewyMar 21, 2019
The Natural Flavors in pet food is a proprietary blend derived from main protein source of the food. This Canidae doesn't preserve their dry pet foods using substances like ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, or propylene glycol. Instead, they use mixed tocopherols (a source of vitamin E). They leave out substances like MSG, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup to artificially flavor their foods.

Do all of the ingredients come from the USA

Answer by ChewySep 03, 2020
Canidae formulas are made in the USA. They use ingredients from the US and quality ingredients from around the world. From fresh bison like those found on the grasslands of Wyoming, fresh lamb from places like Colorado, fresh salmon and trout from the Pacific Northwest, to fresh produce from all across the Heartland, and other quality ingredients from around the world. They also source ingredients such as duck meal from France and lamb meal from New Zealand.

What is the ash content of this food?

Answer by ChewyAug 14, 2019
This formula has an ash content of approximately 9% on an as fed basis.

True Limited Ingredient. Food

My cats are allergic to every protein except fish and Amber needs really small sized kibble because of tooth absorption. So, I applaud Canidae's attempt at making

My cats are allergic to every protein except fish and Amber needs really small sized kibble because of tooth absorption. So, I applaud Canidae's attempt at making this product. I will not buy it again. When you open the bag a strong chemically smell hits you (like a household cleaner). It is very off-putting. Definitely does not smell like fish. My cats took a sniff and hissed at the food bowl! Food topper wouldn't even entice them to try it. Shame really because the kibble size was perfect. Good luck if you want to try this product. It did not work for me.

My cat won’t eat it

My cat absolutely refused to eat this. Not sure why, but my cat who is usually not picky absolutely refused to eat this. He will usually eat anything.

They won't touch it.

I have two cats, one with a food allergy (suspect chicken) I've been trying to zero in on. This food was for that, but they simply will not eat it. I may as well

I have two cats, one with a food allergy (suspect chicken) I've been trying to zero in on. This food was for that, but they simply will not eat it. I may as well have filled the bowl with ball bearings, or wood chips the way they acted. Then again, at least they may have played with those. My two cats do not recognize this as food, at all...and they are not even really picky eaters. It may be decent quality food, but not to my 'kittehs', and this review is on their behalf, so sorry for the low rating, if this actually has quality ingredients and all that. They simply won't eat it.

They ate it!

My older kits have become VERY selective on what they will eat. Add to that, they have food allergies (chicken&corn). So I end up researching ingredients lists

My older kits have become VERY selective on what they will eat. Add to that, they have food allergies (chicken&corn). So I end up researching ingredients lists to make sure I don't give them anything with either poultry or corn. Plus being 13+years old i try to get food that will help them hold their weight. So when I find something that meets all of the above requirements, I am happy!

No chicken

All of my girls are allergic to chicken and a Chewy agent found this for them. They love it. A large bag lasts them about a month.

Canada is a good food. I haven’t used it for a long time have not ordered it at all for years so I don’t know whyyou’re asking me for a review on it. I prefer health extensions, but you’re always out of it so I have to make other choices which I’m not about I usually use instincts, but it’s getting very expensive. I prefer health extensions. I’m waiting for my bag to come as soon as you get it in.

None of my cats or foster cats would eat it

I assumed incorrectly that because this company's wet food was so amazing and my cat's all of it so much that the dry kibble would work as well for her unfortunately

I assumed incorrectly that because this company's wet food was so amazing and my cat's all of it so much that the dry kibble would work as well for her unfortunately she absolutely wouldn't need it and I couldn't even get the Foster cats that I take care of to eat it something has to be wrong with the taste

It doesn’t smell fishy, even though it’s salmon

The important thing is it’s working. She’s not throwing up near as much as she was so she was allergic to the chicken.
