Fish was a new "food" for our Golden Retriever and I was concerned that he might not like. He LOVES it. Fast shipping & free shipping. Great service.

2yo Australian Shepherd
Her coat has never been better, and I've fed a range of top quality foods. It's incredible how water just sheets off of her when she gets out of the pool. She's also down to one poop a day, which is good for her and convenient for us as well.

The above Daily Feeding Guidelines are a good starting point on the amount of food suggested to be fed on a daily basis. If you feed more than once per day, simply divide the Daily Feeding Guidelines by the amount of times fed per day.
I am pleased with almost all of the Canidae products. The kibble for Seniors and Overweight is difficult to locate in local stores.

EVO Dog Reduced Fat - The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition
Reduced Fat - The EVO line of pet foods have been specially designed to provide all the key nutritional benefits received from the feeding of raw food diets but with the benefits of 21st Century nutritional research. EVO Reduced Fat Dry Dog Food contains 30% less fat than regular EVO Dog Food but with 20% MORE protein. Recent studies have shown that high protein, low fat diets help to build lean body mass while still achieving weight loss (weight loss occurs until an equilibrium of muscle to fat is reached).
EVO Dog Reduced Fat is Grain-Free, Human Grade Dog Food
Although EVO Dog food provides 100% of the total nutritional needs of your dog, you still need to pay proper attention to these important factors to ensure optimum health:
Our Basset has some kind of food allergy we are trying to narrow down. Certain foods upset her bodies balance and cause excess ear drainage & build up. We've tried Science Diet ZD, Wellness Core Reduced Fat & this one. So far this is the only one that seems to be a little more agreeable with her. It would have been rated 5 stars, but it causes her & our other Basset slight constipation & excessive gas.

Great for senior dogs. The only thing seems to be that I have to feed a lot more of it for the size of my dog than I did with previous foods.

After our dog's food was recalled last year, we had trouble finding a food that he would eat and felt safe feeding him. He loves Solid Gold
3. Judi on 8/18/2008, said:
