Acana- Which formula?

[Heidi81]

I was wondering who has tried Acana brand food, and which formula worked best for you.
I realize all dogs will have different dietary needs and discrepencies, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what to try.

Dexter is an 18 week old EM who came to us on Nutro Natural Choice chicken formula, but I'm not a big fan of Nutro- so looking to switch!

Thoughts...suggestions....?!!!!

Thank you!!!

Heidi

Well, just an FYI, but alot of places are having trouble getting Acana right now, they had a fire a year ago and I suspect that this is a result of that.

Since he's just a pup you need to watch your calcium/phos numbers, but the following formulas are appropriate:

Large Breed Puppy
Chicken & Burbank Potato
Puppy & Junior
Adult Large breed
Wild Prairie
Pacifica
Duck & bartlett Pear

I've never personally fed any of them, so I can't help with that.

My guy is on Pacifica. He loves it!

I tried Pacifica for my guy but it was too rich for his system.

I have my boys on the Grassland formula.

I've fed the Grasslands formula in the past before they changed the formulas to add lentils, then switched to Orijen 6 Fish.

I personally like to feed fish based formulas (Orijen 6 Fish was the first fish formula I was able to get my boy to eat) so I'd say go for the Pacifica.

Just put my EM on Wild Prairie...he loves it but it might be a little too rich...We'll see how the switch goes. Thinking of switching to the Chick & Burbank Potato instead.
