Common questions about CANIDAE
Has CANIDAE been recalled?
Yes, May 2012 — CANIDAE dry dog foods produced at Diamond Pet Foods' Gaston, SC plant were affected by the industry-wide Diamond Pet Foods salmonella recall. That plant-wide event affected multiple brands manufactured by Diamond (including Taste of the Wild, Kirkland Signature, and Diamond's own). CANIDAE has had no other significant US recalls since.
Is CANIDAE a family-owned brand?
Privately held — founded in 1996 in California and has remained independent of the Mars / Nestlé / Colgate conglomerates. The PURE (limited ingredient) line targets food-sensitive dogs; All Life Stages is the flagship multi-protein. CANIDAE self-identifies as aligned with WSAVA principles, though formal DACVN staffing isn't publicly documented.
