Candiea hands down. No corn, wheat,soy or any by products. My dogs have been on it for a month now and they just love the food.

If you do any minute amount of research, you'd find that Beneful and Science Diet are CRAP. they are filled with "fillers" (i.e. Corn, Wheat, Wheat Gluten, Soy, and Meat-by-products). Canidae is MUCH better. It is human-grade, NO fillers or Grains, and is holistic. I would say any "Name Brand" like Pedigree, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Beneful or Science Diet is horrible. It's like feeding your children McDonald's every day. Yeah, they eat it, it tastes good, but its JUNK.
I feed a mixture of Canidae and Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Grain Free.
Look on the label. If the first ingredient is Corn, Soy, Wheat/Wheat Gluten, Chicken By products, or even "Chicken" then its NO GOOD. If it says "Chicken" or "Beef" its still not good because this means it could be any part of a chicken. Most dog food companies use all the leftover parts of meat that humans don't consume. Why would this be ok for a carnivore? Wolves eat the GOOD parts, like muscle meat and organs. The major dog food companies are putting chicken bones and feathers in the food and calling that "Chicken" meat. Thats SOOOO Wrong.
if you look at Canidae's label it will say "Chicken Meal" which by law is all the good parts of the chicken ground up.
Just do more research.... thats all I can say.
Good luck to you.

Canidae, by a long shot! It has NO corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, fillers, by products, is human grade, and is naturally preserved. I use Canidae All Life Stages, with my dogs, and they love it. Some of the benefits of Canidae All Life Stages are: Four Human Grade Meats-Chicken, Turkey, Lamb, and Fish, 10 Natural Skin and Coat Conditioners, Balanced Omega 6@3 Fatty Acids, Digestive enzymes, Probiotics, and Superior Digestibility, Guaranteed Enzymes, Activity, Antioxidant, Vitamins@Amino Acid, Chelated Minerals, Excellent for Problem Skin and Allergies, Holistic @ Herbal Benefits, Formulated for all Life Stages-Puppies, Adults, Seniors, and Overweight, Excellent Palpability!

CANIDAE is a really good food. The other two are poor quality. Not even in the same ball park as Canidae.

Of all three if that's the only one's your thinking on getting I would say Canidae. There are plenty of other High quality foods out there go to a pet store and ask.

Canidae by far but if you would like another healthy choice that is shipped to your door and very fresh as it is not sold in stores so it is not wharehoused then check this source.
I found this food when I was looking for a glucosmine suppliment for my oldest dog and I am very happy with this food-feed my dogs and cats this brand Life's Abundance.
They love it and are very healthy. Use the suppliments, treats and shampoo as well-my dogs and cat look and feel great.
No chance of contamination from this company also.

Canidae is the best. By far. The other two foods do not even compare.

Of those 3 choices Canidae is way better than the other 2. It doesn't even compare. It's like comparing a healthy home cooked meal to McDonald's..........he he he.

Canidae, hand's down. The ingredients they use are MUCH higher quality than the other two and healthier for your dog too. It has no corn, no wheat (both common allergens), no by-products. It has six meat sources and only two grain sources (white and brown rice)...unless you also include the alfalfa meal and flax seed (neither of which are actually grains, alfalfa is a legume and flax seed is a...well, seed/nut).
Science diet uses corn meal as the second ingredient (ingredients are listed according to how much of the ingredient is in the food). It also has five grain sources compared to three meat sources (one being chicken by-product meal and one being unspecified animal fat).
Beneful is the worst of these three. The very first ingredient is ground yellow corn, meaning that there is more ground yellow corn than any other single ingredient. It also has only three meat sources (one of them being beef tallow...ie fat and one of them being chicken by-product meal) to five grain sources. Plus it has salt, sugar, and artificial coloring. Any food containing salt, sugar, and artificial colorings is bad news in my book.

Canidae by far...it doesn't have all the cheap fillers and by products in it. It is made from human grade ingredients and lots of meat protein.

Canidae
Science Diet
Beneful
In that order, but Canidae is far and away better than the Science Diet.
