Canine Caviar

[SaltyDog]

Btw, at our store, it's no more expensive than Wellness, Holistic Select, Innova/Evo, etc.

No more expensive? It should be waaaaay less expensive. Wellness around here sells for $54 (30lb) for Super 5 and $62 (26lb) for Core. Evo $58 (28lb).

Canine Caviar (30lb) sells for $45.

I just don't get people that when they discover there dog has a health issue that in its finality could be their demise: would rather prolong and feed into its issues than actually do something about it. Raw may not be for you, but is it for you? NO! Its for the health of your dog.

First of all, you don't know anything about me. But your comment tells alot about you, IMHO. Anyway...I usually don't respond to insults, but for your information, I've actually helped Lucy by changing her to this food and doing the supplement that I'm doing. A lot of research went into this regimen. She is doing way better than she was. Tests have proved that. I am not a raw feeder, but you don't hear me slandering you because you are. I treat my dogs better than most children/people are treated. That is a fact. They have everything they want or need. I haven't been to this forum in awhile and just started posting again lately. It is definitely pro raw, and I know that, but I think some respect should be shown to others that feed different kinds of food. If not, then rename the forum "Rawfoodchat". I went away before because of rudeness, and I think I'm making that trip again forever. Yes, you have a right to comment, but I guess I'm a pollyanna for still believing in tact and being considerate of others. IMO, this is what's really wrong with the world today. Gee...I'm so mad I'm rambling!

But you aren't even willing to cook for your dogs, that says alot about You!

"I do feel it is a 30 year old concept and pet nutrition has evolved greatly"

What specifically about Abady is old fashioned? Is it the highest meat content of any other commercial food? Is it the lowest carb % of any other commercial food? Is it the fact that it is made in a multi-stage process where nothing is exposed to heat except the rice biscuit? Is it the fact he was selling raw frozen products before it was fashionable?

You speak about all these advances but the real advance has been the focus on animal protein, but Abady was and is still the leader. Have you ever used it? He was the first guy to sell a complete raw frozen product and the granulars followed.

The only problem with Abady is that it is poorly marketed. No feel good colors, cute pictures or daises on the package.

I feel bad for dogs where the owners think "advancement" is a food with dehydrated cabbage.

you're attributing this post to me, when i wasn't the one who posted it.

a bit defensive?

direct and forthright is not necessarily the same as rude and insulting.

is there some niggling doubt in your mind that you could be doing something more than spending money and pouring food into a dish?

as to opinion? we all have opinions...so why do you even care if someone doesn't agree.....it's not our dog....

i don't agree with what you're feeding and i was a kibble feeder and a home cooked feeder....took me well over a year to research ALL foods and feeding methods....and, in the meantime, i lost three dogs to a particular food...i'm convinced of it....because of a particular ingredient that i was too ignorant to look up.

and maybe i would have stayed on kibble had i not started researching....

but what you're feeding has flaxseed in it....it's a bowel irritant....all it's good for in dogs is to ensure a bowel movement. and pumpkin? same thing. that's two ingredients right off the top of my head that will make sure your dog has bowel movements...why? because your dog's intestinal tract needs help?

your dog's kidneys need help.....so what in this food is kidney friendly, which is something that i hope you researched...and if my saying this makes me rude and insulting, too bad.

I'm also interested to hear other's experiences with feeding Canine Caviar to their dogs. I just recently bought Canine Caviar Chicken & Pearl Millet for my dog, but I haven't switched him to it yet (gonna wait until he finishes his current food first).

Please keep it civil guys. This person is genuinely trying to make a better choice for his/her dog. We can either

1. Judge and be rude, sending them away for good... or
2. accept the fact that not EVERYONE is going to feed raw, and help them make the best choice possible within their limits.

I vote for number two.

Whiteleo, this is the kibble section. if you wish to promote raw feeding, there's a section for that, but don't do it here.


Goodness, what is with all the hostility this past week you guys?!

As true as this statement may be, that does not give ANY member of this forum grounds to talk down to another member based on what he or she is willing to feed or not. NOT everyone is going to feed raw, or home cooked. Plain and simple. And here in the KIBBLE AND CANNED section, those people should be able to post their questions, and get answers. Don't have a suggestion for kibble or canned food the help the issue? Don't post in the thread. A FRIENDLY PM asking if they've considered raw is sufficient, but let's respect all member's limitations.
Please keep that in mind.
