Anyone feeding Acana may want to check out this website, it has some really great information. I have been feeding Origen to my both of my 100 lb dogs and love it. so when I got my YT pups (1 is 11 mths and 1 is 5 mths) I just naturally put them on Origen puppy. Then I found some info on high protein diets for these little ones being potentially harmful. So I started to research cause that's what I do at 2 in the morning. Turns out that Acana is not a lower protein Origen. It uses Beet pulp which can be very allergic and is preserved with citric acid, which, if you add any water to soften the food or make a "gravy", this can cause a bloat risk factor. More serious for the big dogs, but why take chances. Heres the web site , it's awesome.
