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.

Hey I think you are looking at the other versions of Acana, that are *not* grainfree. I don't know if they even sell those versions in the US?

But here are the 3 grain-free, and bonbon is right, the ingredients are a bit off on dogfoodanalysis.com
