We changed our two French Bulldogs from Orijen to Carnilove duck and pheasant. Our dogs do one solid perfect poo in the morning and one solid perfect poo in the evening this did not change whilst they are still on Carnilove duck and pheasant but our Frenchies hardly ever pass wind but since they’ve been on Carnilove duck and pheasant they have been often and really bad smelling. I rung Carnilove and they told me that it’s probably the big change in protein and for the next bag to try salmon or carp and trout I will buy salmon or carp and trout when I run out and if this doesn’t stop the smelly trumping , I will have to change as it really is unbearable but as far as the poo goes, it’s perfect and hasn’t changed at all . but the smell from their rear end is horrendous. I was toying with the idea of Carnilove or Millie’s Wolffhardt so if nothing changes when I buy the next bag of salmon or carp and trout, then I definitely will look at Millie‘s wolf heart I can’t fault the food they absolutely love it, it’s just a bit much coping with the smell apart from that. I really can’t fault the food at all. I know French bulldogs are notorious for smelly trump’s but to be honest I was hardly ever Trump at all and if they do it really doesn’t smell hardly. Someone said it’s probably because of the high yellow P protein it’s 20% doesn’t mean anything to me but like I said I’m going to order another bag and give it a go if not, my other choice was Millies Wolfheart. So as a food and poo wise I would give it 10 out of 10 but because of the smelly trumps I’d have to give it a 5 out of 10 because they really are bad they literally smell out the whole bottom of our house and is quite frequent so this really can’t be good for them and their poor tummies. But nothing has changed they still are absolutely crazy and run around like lunatics. They don’t drink any more than normal weight has stayed the same they are about 12.9 kg and are two years old , they are in amazing shape. Coat is shiny so it has not affected them in anyway apart from the smell.

This food cost me about 150£ in unnecessary vet bills as I tried to figure out why my dog smelt so bad so sudden. I had his anal glands emptied twice and I still couldn’t figure it out. The vet suggested it might be dietary. I’d only started him on this food last month and that’s when he began to smell. Stopped him and in the space of two days he no longer smells. I’ve read others have experienced the same issue

Hi I am thinking about swapping my 12 month old frl to this food.she is at the moment on ava puppy food and I’ve heard ava isn’t a very good food for dogs. What are the reviews on this food and should I do the swap or not as I’ve heard this food can cause soft stool??? Thank you.

Tried my doodles on this food very sloppy poops & smelly gas. Put them on Acana & they’re doing brilliant.

I put all my rescues straight onto the salmon carnilove none are ever sloppy and gassy. Acana is horrendous now sadly after it was bought over by Mars who also make Pedigree royal canon Whiskas. They shrunk the bag sizes, you have to feed a higher amount of the food now and made it dearer 😩

Hi, My 1yr old GSD has been eating Eden sporting and working dog food for quite a while now and we have absolutely no problems with it. However, the price keeps going up and now the percentage has gone down. I've been looking at other dry foods as I was sure they would be a better one on the market. I have come across Carnilove, although 3kg less in a bag, it has a slightly higher percentage and price difference of around £30 a bag less then Eden. Just a bit concerned about changing food, although I would do it gradually. Have you got any advice? Thanks 😊

Why has the rating gone down to 78% when only the other day it was 90%

Waiting for this response. I know there’s a new algorithm that changes the way food is rated, but hoping it doesn’t meant the quality has plummeted that much! I bought this brand because of the quality! Don’t want to have to change again :’)

Hi Grumpy Dog and Leaf Hawkins! It's all down to the new scoring system. You can find out more here. The recipes haven't changed so if your dog's doing fine there's really no need to consider changing

Great quality and a good price, plus my fussy dog loved it. However their stools were always fairly soft and smelt absolutely horrendous. It was so bad I had to take them off of it

My dogs seemed to like the food but I cannot recommend if you are looking for a food to help a dog with loose stools - this made it worse! 🤢 Try a hypoallergenic food if your dog has this problem. Vets Kitchen has worked wonders for ours.

There are better alternatives to kibble ☺️ Like raw foods air dry food and dehydrated raw foods or just sitck with wet foods or kibble and add in fresh whole foods

I tried this food and my Boxers seemed to like it, but I was also concerned about the amount of meat "meal" as opposed to meat. I subsequently had to take them off it because their poop smelt absolutely disgusting, the worst ever.

There are other better fresh complete foods other then kibble like air dried dehydrated food
