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.

I just went to the Champion website to check all ingredients of Acana and NONE of the formulas contain beet pulp or citric acid. I am a huge believer in ACANA and LOVE it....beet pulp/citric acid is totally against their philosphies....

PS....Dogfoodalaysis needs to do some major updating.
