Must be lucky stumbled across varies message boards And found a German Shepherd board /www.pedigreedatabase.com and my very best friends now led me a site www.consumeraffair.com about the type of dry dog food we were using Canidea. We had discontinued using after using S/D puppy. We did the research last May & found Canidea to be one of best dry & begin using wet & dry in May of 2007. Then after doing research decided that we would use Merrick canned after Muri seemed to start rejecting his food in August. All went well used up Canidea mixing with Merrick than all Merrick by October. Muri, was eating fine took to vet everything was great. He started putting on a little more weight (filling out). But, Muri still did not care for the Merrick dry. So, because of our previous experience with Canidea we brought back the Canidea dry with Merrick canned. Beginning in January. Everything was working 75% dry 25% wet until April 2009. Muri seemed to acting lethargic thought it was growing. He was scheduled for a vet exam and thought it would be a question if it continued. Then May 16 we administered his first Frontline of the year next day Black tongue...we called vet. We thought Frontline caused an allergic reaction. They got us in & did a work up & said Kidney Disease!! We were shocked & devastated. Then we would not give up something try anything read everything, hours upon hours of research led to the consumer affairs site then read the horror stories in regards to Canidae stopped immediately. Started cooking food & adding Merrick canned THE NEXT DAY & EVERYDAY SINCE HIS TONGUE IS PINK AGAIN, it has been 2 weeks black....make your own assumptions but he appears at least 50% better. The anemia is our biggest concern and of course the phospherous. Power of the Paw, hope to bring more good news. Gotta hope since vet gave us 2-4 months and 1 week is over
