Acana Duck and Bartlett Pear??

Is food ok for a puppy? Anyone feed it?

Calcium (min): 1.3
Phosphorus(min):1
Ratio: 1.3:1

I know it isn't grain free - but I'm trying to find something that I can feed to both my male (that he will eat) and puppy. Ideally I'd like them both to be on Orijen 6 Fish (or I'd even settle for Acana Pacifica), but since the formula change my boy won't touch it....though now with the baby in the house he might be more inclined to eat it again (note to self to pick up a sample bag).

I had also thought that the Grasslands formula was ok for puppies, but from their website the numbers are high?

For convenience I'd prefer to keep them both on the same food - though I don't necessarily need to. They are both on Earthborn Coastal Catch right now. They seem to be doing ok on it, but both have had some soft/mushy (but formed) poo.

No big rush to switch, but I would like to somewhat soon. I do prefer fish based foods - did try Fromm but my boy, while liking the samples, didn't seem to like it as much when I actually bought the big bags of it.

Just want to say that I'm very happy with the switch to Acana! I picked up a bag on the 3rd and started the transition. Yesterday evening they both pretty much started completely on Acana. Fhalyn stools have been getting better and better since I started the transition - today she had nice, well formed poo, no mushy pudding like she has had!! Super excited - didn't think I'd ever be so excited over dog poo. She hasn't good poo since I started her on the EB shortly after I got her, I initially thought it was the treats she was getting, but that hasn't really changed since I started the transition and her poo has been getting better. Maybe she can't handle grainfree or the EB had too much peas? I don't really know, but I'm glad her poo is getting better and I'm glad I found a Champion food Bub will eat again (he did not like their formula changes in the grain free line).

Me too! And they both love the flavor! I even use it as training treats for Fhalyn sometimes
