Not saying it's a bad food, it just may not be appropriate for all dogs.

It was specifically Acana, both Pacifica and Grasslands, that the Maltese were eating when they developed elevated kidney values. One of them happened to be owned by a vet tech, too. Every one had normal bloodwork after their food was switched.

Just a heads up to make sure you get bloodwork done just in case your dog happens to be one of the ones who can't eat it.
