Acana - at last a food he will eat

Don't know if anyone else has tried this food, made by the same people as Orijen.
I have had real problems with a young rescue dog who has lots of skin problems and sensitive tummy. He won't eat wet / raw food either.
The food suits him and he eats all the food in his bowl!

I have Finn on Acana grasslands and can't believe the difference in his tear stains It is the first food to reduce them.

I noticed a big difference when I took Harvey of R.Canin and now onto Pro Plan but still could do with improvement.

I must have a look at their website

I fed Acana for years, though I just found a food that suits the dogs better. I must keep to fish only for proteins as Oliver cannot have anything else. and Scout cant have Chicken. I fed Acana Pacifica. it's a fantastic food! but the food I switched to has less fat, calories and protein, as everyone was getting mixes of different foods... and I found one I could feed everyone.

So did you find acana makes them gain weight easily?
I have a gsd with a small appetite and find it hard to keep weight on him. Hes also got a sensitive stomach, do you think this food would be any good?

will do

my boy(thats skinny n fussy) wasnt to keen on f4d(the rest loved it) but flea is an out and out carnivore so this appeals to him more...dont think potato impressed him lol.... its the high protein and fat content in the Acana that should put the weight on .
