| Why can't we buy Acana for puppies in US? For all of you who feed Acana are your fur babies puppies? I too have one who does not want the wellness anymore.... I need to find something else quick to get her used to it before her surgery in 2 weeks....yikes! |

| I used Acana at one time. It was labeled as "ALS," or "all life stages." It is perfectly OK to feed that to a puppy, adult, or senior.

| Something about the inclusion of milk thistle in the formulas? That was the last thing I read. Milk thistle is allowed as a supplement in the US but not as a food ingredient. I dunno. But they do sell Chicken & Burbank Potato in the US, and it's similar to the puppy food, and is all life stages, would be fine for a puppy. All the grain-frees are labeled all life stages as well but I prefer the calcium/phos levels in the Chicken formula (even though that's more important for large/giant breeds than our small dogs). That's the only food available in the US from the Classics line, and then we also have Singles line and all the GFs.

Acana is def bigger than Fromm. I wouldn't worry about it though, I know lots of little dogs on bigger kibble and they do fine. I am sure if you gave them a big piece of chicken that size they'd have no trouble chowing down on it I did start a thread before w/ kibble pics.. lemme see if I can find it... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ce-thread.html

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I haven't found Fromm to be too big, mainly because they are fairly flat. Cali (4.5 pounds) is wolfing it down as easily as Scarlett (15 pounds).

| That kibble size thread was hilarious! What kind won? Thanks everyone for your input... I went to the pet boutique that sells Fromm to get a different sample and baby Zoey here te DUCK kibble right out my hand. But turned her nose up at the fish. I'm also trying Zignature , haven't seen that on here , anyone hear of it? Grain free with various proteins for rotation..... I also picked up some freeze dried Bravo trail mix , she loves that...grain free..made in U. S......and whaaaat? Smiling Dog freeze dried duck with oranges! Lol if she doesn't like that I don't know what to do! |

| I feed the Fromm's Whitefish and potatoe and the kibble is small and flat. It has worked well for my Kinder. |
