When to Choose Canidae PURE Salmon & Sweet Potato
Dogs with food sensitivities who need a limited-ingredient diet with a novel protein
Canidae PURE takes a less-is-more approach with just 8 key ingredients. Real salmon first provides excellent omega-3s for coat and skin health. The limited ingredient design is ideal for dogs with sensitivities. Clean safety record and no artificial anything. A solid choice for sensitive stomachs.
Strengths
- Limited ingredient formula with just 8 key ingredients — ideal for sensitive dogs
- Real salmon as the #1 protein source provides omega-3 fatty acids for coat health
- No corn, wheat, soy, or artificial additives — clean and simple formula
Limitations
- Limited ingredient approach means less nutritional diversity than multi-protein formulas
- Grain-free formula falls under FDA DCM investigation concerns
- Salmon-based formulas tend to have stronger odor than chicken-based options
