I thought..."Good boy! he went for the good stuff!". He's been eating Acana Grasslands for the past 2 days on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, I've been noticing frequent itching & really runny eyes...big, thick white eye boogers. One of his eyes is even a little puffy. At first, I thought it was from playing in the grass. But with all this talk about the Acana formula change, I'm thinking that these are food allergy symptoms. He's also a little gassy. Not anything major, but enough that I notice a difference. I don't have any experience with food allergies, so I'm wondering if anyone can confirm my suspicions.
From what I understand, food allergies are somewhat rare but there does seem to be something up with the new formulas that is not agreeing with so many of our pups here on YT. You know how excited I was to transition Toki over to Orijen/Acana after this next bag of Fromm but now I'm leaning more toward just sticking with the Fromm for now and supplementing her diet with some type of raw *sigh*
