I used Canidae for the first year of Cracker's life and also fed it to my older girl Ginger. They did very well on it and it's one of the best ranked kibbles out there ingredient-wise and even price wise. I swtiched to Chicken Soup when that came out because my dogs just like the taste better and they seemed to get bored with the Canidae, but it's still a great food. If i had to switch from Chicken Soup I'd go back to that.
