Important recall information appears below.

Canidae was formed in 1993 and provides pet food for both dogs and cats. These were formerly split up under the brand names Canidae (for dogs) and Felidae (for cats), but both have since been combined under the Canidae name. The company produces human-grade, fresh, and natural ingredients and offers allergy-specific foods.
