PET FOOD REVIEW - CaniSource Grand Cru Dog Food (Dehydrated) (ALS)


My review - 3.5/5  Leo's review - 3/5

On a nice saturday, the fam popped over to our favorite pet food shop, My Fluffy Friends to check out a food demo! 

On top, it says 100% ingredients approved for human consumption(impressive)but honestly I had 0 urges to taste it. The food looked very bland. 

This is definitely a gourmet food, I love the whole design of the labels - very chic. But is Leo chomping down on the the label designs? Noooo...  In the information package, there are 6 things their customers have claimed (I like science, but you know, we will work with what we've got)  
  • No more allergies 
  • Disappearance of tartar (This is possible since the food is quite hard)
  • Improved joint mobility
  • Improved digestion
  • Shinier coat
  • No more burnt grass 
The food smelled like nothing, which concerns me a little. Where's the smell? Where is that  FLAVORTOWN I love so much? Also they say I could rehydrate (which I regret not trying) but it just seems like another extra step. 

I received a generous sample from a demo event at a local pet food shop. Noticed right away that while Leo was eating the food, he wasn't wolfing it down like when I feed him his normal petfood (Currently Petcurean). I also noticed that he had a little difficulty breaking the food into smaller pieces (If I am correct, they are about the same size as these marrow bones and also kind of looked like them)

With the leftovers, I just toss 3 or 4 into his regular food, and use it as treats. He does a moderate tail wag for them but no EXCITEMENT EXCITEMENT he gets with other treats. I am very interested in dehydrated foods (which is a nice in between raw and kibble) But this one just seemed... brittle. 

While the ingredients actually look pretty good (First few are Deboned-chicken, Green Lentil, Chicken Liver) the protein content (24%) is not as high as I'd like it to be. 

All in all, Leo with Canisource is like me with Kale - I'll eat it, but I'm not going to be ecstatic about it unless you put on a delicious sauce. 

Again, another Canadian company. I do trust that their ingredients are good, but perhaps a little less animal protein as I'd prefer. This also seems like if you dehydrated it, would make a decent topper.
