Case Study Of Looking At The Canidae Dog Food Company
Looking at the Canidae Dog Food Company:
Canidae started out of a single feed store in Southern California in 1996. It’s a independent, family-owned company. At one time, Canidae dog food was co-packed by Diamond Pet Foods. They were made in the same plants, along with many other pet food brands, but in March, 2011, Canidae purchased Ethos Pet Nutrition, a pre-existing extrusion plant in Brownwood, Texas.
Is Canidae a good dog food? Yes, and when there’s a problem, they fix it.
Ethos was rebuilt as one of the most modern natural pet food plants of its kind, according to Frank Hon, the Canidae company's Director of Operations at the time. This is because of the plant’s advanced, automated extrusion system, which continues to make superior, …show more content…

I’m relieved that Canidae pet food is no longer made and packed with inferior products like this.
CANIDAE® Grain Free PURE dog food has limited ingredients, no more than 7–10. The line features fresh meat, poultry, and fish, along with other ingredients that are all easily recognizable as real food, with only a few added vitamins and minerals. They have both dry and wet food, as well as treats, as part of this line, which makes things easier and consistent for consumers.
CANIDAE® All Life Stages wet and dry dog foods are vet formulated with nutritionally dense meat and fish meal. They are healthy for all ages, breeds, and sizes, as well as multiple dog families. There are dog treats in this line too.
The Under The Sun® by CANIDAE® dog food is focused on one kind of meat as the first and main ingredient. The recipes may be cheaper, since this is the companies most buget-friendly line, but they’re still made with farm-fresh ingredients, without chicken by-product meal, corn, wheat, soy or potatoes. Like the other lines, there are both dry and wet dog
