The breeder fed Canidae...I quickly changed both dogs to TWO. When THAT went south, I found Orijen. The 6 Fish is wonderful for both dogs. Cass doesn't get a yeast infection, as she did on Canidae, and Max's coat is wonderful. Their breeder recommends Fromm...I'm not familiar with it.

Luther's breeder fed ProPlan, BilJac and occasional raw. We found him not too enamored with BilJac and switched to Canidae. He did great until the formula change - did Wellness for a while with some improvement and now on Orijen and raw doing terrific.

Nope, I switched Chaos the day we brought him home (about 9 weeks old). He was on Chicken Soup kibble; I switched him to premade raw (Nature's variety). At about 6 months old, I clued in and switched him to REAL raw, whole prey model.

I had him on FROMM which is what the breeder was using but it gave him very soft poo and same with the Cairns so he is on Eagle Pack Holistic Large and Giant Breed Puppy, my Cairns are on Eagle Pack Holistic Duck & Oatmeal. I make my own type of wet food and add it to their kibble, if I do not have any I made I add some Merrick wet food.

Originally Cairns were on Canidae from breeder but they changed formulas.

I would love to switch to raw but I am worried I wouldn't be giving them enough nutrients, etc.
